The Struggle to Exploit Non-additive Variation
نویسنده
چکیده
While animal breeders largely focus on improvement using additive genetic variance, inbreeding and asexual reproduction allow plant breeders to at least partially exploit nonadditive genetic variance as well. We briefly review various approaches used by breeders to exploit dominance and epistatic variance, discuss their constraints and limitations, and examine what (if anything) can be done to improve our ability to further use often untapped genetic variation.

Predictive Ability of Statistical Genomic Prediction Methods When Underlying Genetic Architecture of Trait Is Purely Additive
A simulation study was conducted to address the issue of how purely additive (simple) genetic architecture might impact on the efficacy of parametric and non-parametric genomic prediction methods. For this purpose, we simulated a trait with narrow sense heritability h2= 0.3, with only additive genetic effects for 300 loci in order to compare the predictive ability of 14 more practically used ge...
متن کاملGraphical Analysis of Multi-Environment Trials for Barley Yield Using AMMI and GGE-Biplot Under Rain-Fed Conditions
The AMMI and SREG GGE are among the models that effectively capture the additive and multiplicative components of genotype × environment interaction (GEI) and provide meaningful interpretation of multi-environment trials’ data set in the breeding programs. The objective of this study was to assess the effect of GEI on grain yield of barely advanced lines and exploit the positive GEI effect us...
متن کاملImpact of biotechnology on ( cross ) breeding programmes in q pigs
Crossbreeding programmes in pigs exploit between breed complementarity of additive genetic effects and heterosis generated by non-additive genetic effects. Within breed, improvement programmes may focus on additive effects and hence the enhancement of complementarity, but non-additive variation is not generally used in within line selection or for mate selection at the multiplier or commercial ...
متن کاملGeneration mean analysis for yield components in common bean. Nasim Akhshi1, Kianoush Cheghamirza2 &3, Farhad Nazarian-Firouzabadi1*, Hadi Ahmadi1
In order to choose an efficient breeding procedure, it is necessary to have knowledge of the genetic system controlling agronomically important traits. Common bean is one of the major legumes containing large amount of proteins and other valuable nutrients. The aim of this study was to determine genetic parameters for yield and yield components, using six generations (P1, P2, F1, F2, BC1, and B...
متن کاملStudy on the variation of plant species diversity components along elevation gradient using additive partitioning (case study: protected area of Geno, Hormozgan province)
Conservation of vegetation is one of most important tools for conservation of soil and decreasing erosion. Therefore, knowledge about vegetation characteristics, such as diversity, is the first and most important biological tools for soil conservation. One of the methods in which we can collect useful data about plant diversity, is additive partitioning. In the current study, plant species dive...
