Genetic Analysis of Host Plant Resistance to the Cassava Mosaic Disease

TL;DR: Genetic analysis revealed that additive gene effect was more important in the genetics of resistance to CMD among the landraces, while both additive and non-additive gene effecsts were important for resistance.

Combined detection and introgression of quantitative trait loci underlying desirable traits.

TL;DR: Combined detection and introgression of genes underlying desirable traits not only saves at least 1 generation, but also it ensures that the desirable QTL is introgressed where its function is simultaneously tested in a planned environment and recipient genome structure.

Estimations of number of active loci, dominance and heritability in polygenic inheritance of gregarious behavior inMuscidifurax raptorellus [Hymenoptera: Pteromalidae]

TL;DR: Estimates of the minimum number of genetic loci governing expressions of gregarious oviposition inMuscidifurax raptorellus Kogan & Legner were enabled by the verification of recombinant males, which were secured from virgin hybrid females, formed by crossing cohorts from solitary and g Regarious populations.

Perspectivas da avaliação genética multirracial em bovinos no brasil

TL;DR: Os procedimentos de avaliacao genetica multirracial produzem predicoes geneticas aditivas mais acuradas, permitem a comparacao direta de animais de diferente composicao racial e viabilizam o melhoramento genetico aditivo e nao-aditivo em populacoes multirraciais.

Asymmetry of leg size and differential leg usage in the sand fiddler crab, uca pugilator

TL;DR: Investigation of sand fiddler crabs of Uca pugilator finds differences in leg size and proportion suggest a greater work load on the minor side, as during contests that escalate to interlocking of claws, where minor side legs are important in pushing the opponent.
