Estimates of heritability in a blanched asparagus population.

Heritability and expected selection response for yield traits in blanched asparagus.

Despite the continuous breeding that has been conducted with asparagus (Asparagus officinalis L.) since the beginning of the last century, there is little information on parameters for predicting direct and indirect selection response. Yield traits for blanched asparagus production were studied along a two-year period in a half-sib family population planted in Zavalla, Argentina. Half-sib famil...

Estimates of Repeatability and Heritability of Productive Trait in Holstein Dairy Cattle

Dairy cattle breeding programs have been based in the selection for traits related to milk production. In this research a data set of 63 herds of East Azerbaijan province Holstein cattle, collected during 2002-2013 by the Iranian Animal Breeding Center was used to estimate the repeatability and heritability of three traits of economic importance. Genetic parameters for first three lactations of...

برآورد مؤلفه های واریانس صفت تولید شیر در گاوهای هلشتاین ایران

In this research, estimation of genetic parameters for milk production trait was performed by using collected data from 1991 to 2010 in Iranian Holstein dairy cattle. Genetic parameters were estimated by MATVEC Microsoft, using animal model, with univariate and multivariate analysis. The data set were including 161328, 123369 and 81013 records for first, second and third lactations, respectivel...

Genetic Control of Fiber Yield and Quality in Kenaf (Hibiscus cannabinus L.)

The study was conducted to investigate the ge-netic basis of kenaf fiber yield and quality In two sets of generations derived from 1X51 x Gha-na07 and Gregg x Ghana07 crosses. Analysis of generation means using weighted least squares procedure was performed on stalk dry weight, bast percentage, days to flowering, plant height, and basal stalk diameter . Analysis of generation means revealed tha...
