Question: How is parent–offspring conflict over the sex ratio affected by mating system and sex-specific dispersal? Methods: Inclusive fitness maximization models and dynamic simulations. Life cycle: Patch-structured diploid population, fixed number of adult females per patch, sex-specific dispersal of offspring, mating after dispersal, competition for breeding sites. The mating system is monog...

Investigation was carried out to ascertain the genetic architecture for heat tolerance and yield components from diallel crosses in maize (Zea mays L.). The combining ability both normal stress conditions revealed highly significant mean squares due general (GCA) specific (SCA) direct reciprocal all characters except anthesis-silking interval condition of crosses. Estimate variance 13 higher SC...

Using native trees from near the northern and southern extremities of the relatively continuous eastern distribution of Eucalyptus globulus in Tasmania, we compared the progenies derived from natural open-pollination (OP) with those generated from within-region and long-distance outcrossing. Controlled outcrossing amongst eight parents - with four parents from each of the northern and southern ...

We study the contribution of parental educational assortative mating to intergenerational transmission attainment. develop an empirical model for correlations within family in which sorting can translate into jointly by both parents, or originate from each parent independently. Estimating using attainment Danish population-based administrative data over 400,000 families, we find that on average...

Strategies to manage bacterial wilt disease causing 64-100% yield loss have limited effectiveness. A 10×10 diallel mating design excluding reciprocals and self was employed in this study evaluate combing ability effects, heterosis, reaction 10 tomato parents. Genotypes AVTO1424 (11.87%), AVTO1429 (12.29%) AVTO1314 (13.53%) were found significantly lower incidence, demonstrating high level...

<span lang="EN-US">System identification (SI) is a method of determining mathematical model for system given set input-output data. A representation made using based on certain specified assumptions. In SI, structure selection step where perceived as an adequate selected. typical rule that the final must have good balance between parsimony and accuracy. As popular search method, genetic a...
