This study determined the gene effects involved in inheritance of pod length and other yield-related traits relationships among crosses between two cowpea lines (TVu 2280 TVu 2027) a yard-long bean 6642) line with long pods. Plants six generations (P1, P2, F1, F2, BC1P1, BC1P2) derived from × 6642 2027 were evaluated under field conditions. Data collected on 14 yield components each cross used ...

We propose a comprehensive framework for flexible additive regression models for correlated functional responses, allowing for multiple partially nested or crossed functional random effects with spatial, temporal, or longitudinal correlation structures. Additionally, our framework includes linear effects of functional covariates and linear or smooth effects of scalar covariates that can vary sm...

As a result of two crosses among three local varieties wheat, five populations (P1, P2, F5, F6 and F7) were used as parents grown during successive seasons; 2016/2017 2017/2018. To estimate types gene action (e.g., mean effects, additive, dominance, additive × dominance dominance), formulas developed from with algebraic solution, proof, mathematical proof. Besides, to test adequate simple addit...

Six diverse homozygous parents, BWR-1, BWR-6-1, BWR-29, BWR-39, EC-464107 and EC-464115 were evaluated for gene action, heritability combining ability using 6X6 diallel cross excluding reciprocals. The results showed that analysis of variance revealed significant differences due to crosses parent’s vs crosses. Mean squares GCA SCA all traits days 50% flowering, first picking, plant height, prim...

Increasing drought incidence and infertile soils require the improvement of maize for nitrogen use efficiency (NUE) under conditions. The objectives were to assess tolerance genetic effects Algerian populations no-nitrogen water stress. We evaluated a diallel among six vs. 120 kg/ha N fertilization control. Variability was significant their crosses NUE drought. Additive could be capitalized usi...

We examined whether single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the calpain (CAPN) and calpastatin (CAST) genes, described from Bos primigenius taurus, are polymorphic in Nellore cattle. We also looked for a possible association of linkage disequilibrium of this polymorphism with tenderness of the longissimus dorsi muscle after 7, 14 and 21 days of postmortem aging in 638 purebred Nellore bulls. ...
