Heat tolerance is measured at tissue level by cellular membrane thermostability (CMT) and at the whole plant level by the heat tolerance index (HTI). Eight upland cotton cultivars and 15 crosses were used to determine the type and extent of genetic variability associated with the expression of these traits between and within environments. Heat stress and non-stress conditions were used as the C...

As a first step toward the genetic mapping of QTL affecting stress response variation in rainbow trout, we performed complex segregation analyses (CSA) fitting mixed inheritance models of plasma cortisol by using Bayesian methods in large full-sib families of rainbow trout. To date, no studies have been conducted to determine the mode of inheritance of stress response as measured by plasma cort...

Hiatal hernias are usually sporadic and uncommon, requiring a high index of suspicion. Preterm monochorionic-monoamniotic twins with recurrent emesis had inconclusive radiographs contrast study consistent hiatal hernia. Genetic testing was performed due to concerns for familial inheritance. Early diagnosis treatment essential prevent complications.

family studies suggest that there is a strong genetic component to the etiology of comitant strabismus. seven cases of a family in three consecutive generations found to have isolated comitant exotropia. this pattern of inheritance is highly suggestive of an autosomal-dominant mode with complete penetrance which is an unreported finding in this entity.   iranian journal of ophthalmology 200921(...

Environmental factors can induce epigenetic alterations in the germ cells that can potentially be transmitted transgenerationally. This non-genetic form of inheritance is termed epigenetic transgenerational inheritance and has been shown in a variety of species including plants, flies, worms, fish, rodents, pigs, and humans. This phenomenon operates during specific critical windows of exposure,...

31 In recent years, there have been many calls for an extended evolutionary synthesis, based in part 32 upon growing evidence for non-genetic mechanisms of inheritance i.e. similarities in phenotype 33 between parents and offspring that are not due to shared genes. While there has been an 34 impressive marshalling of evidence for diverse forms of non-genetic inheritance (epigenetic, 35 ecologic...

Maternal cytoplasmic inheritance may cause an upward bias in heritabili ty estimates from daughter on dam regression. Inaccurate evaluations of bulls or dams of future sires would result if such estimates were used in genetic evaluation. Expected genetic selection differential for bulls would be overestimated, but genetic gain would be little affected by incorrect heritabili ty estimates. Genet...
