The perennial grass species that are being developed as biomass feedstock crops harbor extensive genotypic diversity, but the effects of this diversity on biomass production are not well understood. We investigated the effects of genotypic diversity in switchgrass (Panicum virgatum) and big bluestem (Andropogon gerardii) on perennial biomass cropping systems in two experiments conducted over 20...

BACKGROUND Principal component analysis (PCA) and partial least square (PLS) regression may be useful to summarize the HIV genotypic information. Without pre-selection each mutation presented in at least one patient is considered with a different weight. We compared these two strategies with the construction of a usual genotypic score. METHODS We used data from the ANRS-CO3 Aquitaine Cohort Z...

Explaining the evolution of sex and recombination is particularly intriguing for some species of eusocial insects because they display exceptionally high mating frequencies and genomic recombination rates. Explanations for both phenomena are based on the notion that both increase colony genetic diversity, with demonstrated benefits for colony disease resistance and division of labor. However, t...

Screening of twenty-four candidate plus trees from naturally available Pongamia pinnata genetic resources was carried out to elucidate the genetic variation and relationship of pod and seed traits on germination capacity to select the best planting material for higher productivity. The experiment conducted at Forest Research Centre, Institute of Forest Productivity Mandar, Ranchi during 2005-20...

The present study aimed to evaluate the applicability and efficiency of FAI-BLUP index in genetic selection maize hybrids, using 84 hybrids that were evaluated for cycle, morphology, yield traits four environments. Models accounting homogeneous heterogeneous residual variances tested, variance components estimated maximum likelihood. Genotypic values predicted by best linear unbiased prediction...

VER nearly half a century numerous workers have considered covariances and/or correlations between genotypic values of relatives and have related these population parameters to more basic parameters descriptive of the Mendelian mechanism of inheritance for diploids and the modes of gene action. FISHER (1918) considered random mating populations and developed formulae for the correlations betwee...
