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...

Hepatic dysfunction is a frequent manifestation in patients with sickle cell anemia. It is usually a multifactorial process. A rare benign form of extreme hyperbilirubinemia, presumably due to intrahepatic sickling, may be the cause. We report a 9 year old girl with sickle-thalassemia hemoglo binopathy, presenting with profound jaundice. Sickle cell disease is often mild in the Iranian popu...

Abstract. Rachman F, Trikoesoemaningtyas, Wirnas D, Reflinur. 2022. Estimation of genetic parameters and heterosis through line × tester crosses national sorghum varieties local Indonesian cultivars. Biodiversitas 23: 1588-1597. Diverse gene sources possessed by cultivars are potentially useful for superior development. This study aimed to determine the lines derived from crosses. A total eight...

The variability analysis showed the presence of highly significant variations for all listed genotypes tested under research experiment. Phenotypic coefficient variation traits investigation was found higher than their corresponding genotypic variation, indicating masking effect environment in expression traits. High heritability reported plant height (cm), days to 50% flowering, 1000 seed weig...

A set of eight parental diallel involving seven commercial wheat cultivars and one breeding line was made to investigate the nature of gene action determining inheritance pattern of grain quality characters. Highly significant differences were observed among the genotypes for 1000 grain weight, protein content, wet gluten and lysine content. Adequacy tests were employed to estimate the fitness ...

Breeding maize for drought tolerance necessitates the knowledge on tolerant genotypes, molecular basis of drought tolerance mechanism, action, and expression pattern of genes. Studying the expression pattern and gene action of candidate genes during drought stress in the hybrids will help in choosing target genes for drought tolerance breeding. In the present investigation, a set of five hybrid...

The prospect of utilizing CRISPR-based gene-drive technology for controlling populations has generated much excitement. However, the potential spillovers alleles from target population to non-target raised concerns. Here, using mathematical models, we investigate possibility limiting by designing differential-targeting gene drives, in which expected equilibrium allele frequencies are high but l...

Background: Indian mustard is an important oilseed crop which occupies premier position in agriculture. Developing high yielding genotypes a major breeding objective mustard. Present study was conducted at Experimental Farm of Ranaghat, Nadia, West Bengal, during 2017 to 2019. Methods: Line x tester analysis seven lines and five testers carried out identify the heterotic crosses their relations...
