Testing for the presence of linkage disequilibrium (LD) and measuring its value is important in statistical genetics. LD deals with the correlation of genetic variation at two or more loci in the genome within a given population. PROC ALLELE in SAS/GENETICS provides a variety of pair-wise LD measures that are related to the well-known Pearson correlation r. Different statistical tests of linkag...

this study aimed to examine the relationship between pigments and seed fall rate of iranian castor genotypes and genetic diversity, specifically 28 castor genotypes (27 native and 1 modified), a randomized complete block design with three replications was conducted in 2014 and 2015 at the research farm of islamic azad university in damghan, northern iran. during the growth period, the following...

A field experiment was conducted aiming to study the Assessing genetic variability, correlation, direct and indirect effects of yield contributing characters on seed in 20 Finger millet lines kharif season 2021 Randomized Block Design (RBD) at Field Experimentation Station, Department Genetics Plant Breeding. Phenotypic genotypic coefficient variation found highest ear head length (25.37& 2...

Genetic variability, correlation and path coefficients for fifteen agro-morphological traits were studied on 100 oat lines including two checks. Genotypic phenotypic of variation high leaf number per tiller weight panicle. Traits such as plant, tiller, panicle, stem width, individual plant yield, length internode thousand seed showed heritability accompanied by genetic advance indicating that t...

The present study was aimed to identify the frequency of coagulase (Coa) and thermonuclease (Nuc) genes and Staphylococcal enterotoxin A (Sea) production among Staphylococcus aureus isolated from various sources in Shiraz. Moreover, the correlation between the Sea gene and coagulase and thermonuclease enzymes is also considered. A total of 100 S. aureus were isolated from various sources includ...

background: cryptosporidium parvum is a zoonotic pathogen transmissible from a variety of animals to humans and is a considerable public health concern. dairy cattle have been identified in numerous reports as a major source of environmen-tal contamination with this pathogen. the aim of study was to detect and isolate the cryptosporidium spp . from fecal samples of naturally infected pre-wean c...

water use efficiency is positively correlated with grain yield, and being used for indirect selection of high wheat yield in drought prone environments. yet little is known about genetic control of water use efficiency. in this research, a half diallel mating design was generated from crosses between 8 bread wheat to study the genetic of water use efficiency. parents and f1 progenies were plant...

Identification of stable and high-yielding genotypes is a real challenge in peach breeding, since genotype-by-environment interaction (GE) masks the performance materials. The aim this work was to evaluate effectiveness parameter estimation genotype selection solving linear mixed models (LMM) under frequentist Bayesian approaches. Fruit yield 308 were assessed different seasons replication numb...
