Abstract:

Breeding cycle in rubber extends to 20-30 years between pollination and yield assessment, distributed over three selection stages. Five hectares of small scale trial of rubber tree [Hevea brasiliensis (Willd. ex Adr. de Juss.) Muell.-Arg.], was established in the Northwestern region of São Paulo State, Brazil. The population comprises 98 clones mostly derived from intensively selected plus tree in the natural forest of rubber tree in the Amazon. Three open pollinated progeny tests were established in three experimental stations. Seedlings from 98 progenies including a commercial check (CC) wer

Summary In 1978 a 10 ha clonal seed orchard of black pine (Pinus nigra Arnold) was established in the area of Koumani in the western part of Peleponnesos, Greece.

In 1991 three open pollinated progeny tests were established in Peloponnesos, proximal to the villages of Raches, Vlachokerasia and Vamvakou. Seedlings from 52 families including a commercial check (CC) were planted in each one of the three locations. Assessments were made when the trees were 4, 7 and 9 ye

Abstract:

A complete cycle of within-family selection for 2nd-year height in jack pine (Pinusbanksiana Lamb.) was accomplished. The expected absolute gain from a theoretical population is 9.3%. The expected gain calculated using actual selected parental group means was 6.5% for upper selection and −6.5% for lower selection; realized gains were 5.1% for upper selection and −3.7% for lower selection. Reasons for reductions in the realized gain compared with expected gain include (i) a finite base population size; (ii) biological constraints such as inconsistent seed production; (iii) non-normal distributi

Abstract:

The economic feasibility of the use of tissue culture in forestry for planting stock production depends on two main conditions. One is the ability to produce sufficient genetic gain in a breeding program through controlled crosses, while the other depends on the utilization of the genetic gain (i.e. increased growth rate) to reduce rotation age. The cost of tissue culture plantlets will be relatively high, but will be more than compensated by the savings realized due to a shorter growth period.

The objection function involves time integration of error’s absolute value, output of controller and system overshoot. The longitudinal controlling rate optimization of general aircraft autopilot is realized by minimizing the objection function value. Simulation results show that controller designed by

Abstract:

Abstract Under genomic selection, heritabilities for strongly selected traits are reduced, and antagonism between production and fitness traits can intensify. However, estimating genetic parameters by established methods such as REML or Bayesian with large genomic data is computationally expensive or unfeasible. In this study, we investigated the use of theoretical and realized accuracies to estimate heritabilities. The first dataset for pigs included 161k phenotypic records for a growth trait (GT), 27k phenotypic records for a fitness trait (FT), and 55k animals were genotyped. The second dat

Abstract:

Neolamarckia cadamba (Roxb.) Bosser is a tropical evergreen broadleaf tree species that could play an important role in meeting the increasing demand for wood products. However, multi-level genetic variation and selection efficiency for growth traits in N. cadamba is poorly characterized. We therefore investigated the efficiency of early selection in N. cadamba by monitoring the height (HT), diameter at breast height (DBH), and tree volume (V) in 39 half-sib families from 11 provenances at ages 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 years in a progeny test.

Abstract:

Lacking elite haploid inducers performing high haploid induction rate (HIR) and agronomic performance is one of fundamental factors hindering the rapid adoption of doubled haploid technology in maize hybrid breeding, especially under tropical savanna climate. Breeding haploid inducers for specific agro-ecology, thus, is indispensable yet challenging. We used temperate inducer Stock6 as genetic source for haploid induction ability and eight tropical maize genotypes as principal donors for agronomic adaptation. Three cycles of modified ear-to-row with 5% intra-family selection were applied in a

Abstract The translation of genetic gains into economic gains is important for evaluating the impact of using genetically improved forest reproductive material (FRM) in the forest sector. However, few studies based on European forests have been published to date.

Abstract:

A selection of queens of Melipona scutellaris through the most productive colonies were carried out during eight months in an orange honeyflow. Each of the colonies was evaluated by its production, that is, the gross weight production ( pollen, brood, geopropolis and wax of each hive). With this data a coefficient of repeatability was estimated by the intraclass correlation method, obtained r = 0.835 ± 0.071. The repeatibility is very high showing that the analysed data (production) is repeatable. Selection was then carried out using the regression coefficient of each colony and the respective

Abstract:

Artificial insemination (AI) of dairy cattle in Canada was started more than half a century ago and today it is estimated that at least 75% of all dairy cattle nationally are bred using this common reproductive technology. A Best Linear Unbiased Prediction sire model for estimating genetic evaluations for production traits was introduced in 1975. The combination of extensive use of AI with genetic evaluations for bulls and cows has resulted in significant phenotypic and genetic gains over the past 20 yr. In the Holstein breed, mature equivalent yields have increased by an average of 200 kg mil

SummaryAfter seven generations of selection, a line of mice selected for post-weaning (21–42 days) weight gain on full feeding (SF) showed significant increases of 49% in weight gain, 31% in efficiency and 14% in food intake, when compared with its control on full feeding between 21 and 42 days. After day 42, SF mice continued to eat more food and were 28% heavier than control mice at 91 days. Because SF mice were heavier than control mice at almost all ages, they were fatter on an age basis. There was, however, no change in the rate of deposition of fat, protein and ash relative to body weigh

In this paper, we proposed a beamforming antenna, which is realized using an omnidirectional antenna in the center surrounded by a cylindrical smart dome. The smart dome is made of 16 active frequency selective surface columns of which the amplitude and phase response can be continuously tuned by varying the bias voltages of the employed varactors. Thus, the performance of the proposed antenna could achieve higher gain, better nulling level, and more agility than many switch methods-based cylindrical reconfigurable antennas.

Thus, the meat industry like animals with high weights at slaughter and better carcass traits. However, the genetic relation of carcass traits with several body weights is unknown. Therefore, we established genetic associations among performance and carcass traits in a broiler chicken line and estimated genetic gain and trends.

Realized responses in pupa weight were greater when selection was applied in the downward as opposed to the upward direction. Although the contrasts were not all significant, the observed response in the upward direction agreed with theoretical expectations where the ranking of methods was combined first, family second, and individual last. In the downward direction, response based on the family method was bel
