In bread wheat, QTL interval mapping was conducted for nine important drought responsive agronomic traits. For this purpose, a doubled haploid (DH) mapping population derived from Kukri/Excalibur was grown over three years at four separate locations in India, both under irrigated and rain-fed environments. Single locus analysis using composite interval mapping (CIM) allowed detection of 98 QTL,...

many qtls related to agronomic triats have been registered in soybean (glycine max) by different research groups during the last decade. due to the interaction effects of qtls, environmental and genetic backgrounds on the emergence of qtls and also to confirm the previous results as well as to identify new qtls, further studies are still required. in order to map qtl which control some agronomi...

Susceptibility to Theiler's murine encephalomyelitis virus-induced demyelination (TMEVD), a mouse model for multiple sclerosis (MS), is genetically controlled. Through a mouse-human comparative mapping approach, identification of candidate susceptibility loci for MS based on the location of TMEVD susceptibility loci may be possible. Composite interval mapping (CIM) identified quantitative trait...

heat stress is a major environmental stress limiting wheat productivity in most cereal growing areas of the world. in order to map and characterize quantitative trait loci controlling heat tolerance, 144 recombinant inbred lines deriving from the cross of kauz and mtrwa116 were assessed in a greenhouse and growth chamber at 35°c. one hundred and sixty six ssr and 3 aflp markers were used to...

In this paper, borrowing the intuition in Rao et al. (2004), we introduce a cumulative version of the inaccuracy measure (CIM). Also we obtain interesting and applicable properties of CIM for different cases based on the residual, past and interval lifetime random variables. Relying on various applications of stochastic classes in reliability and information theory fields, we stu...
