Sentence examples for a mating design from inspiring English sources

The power of QTL detection in a mating design involving multiple crosses depends not only on QTL effects, but also on allele frequency (Table 2; Fig. 2).

More recently, Stich et al. [15] developed a linkage mapping approach to uncover three-way interactions among different quantitative trait loci (QTLs) using a mating design.

To be considered narrow-sense, the heritability estimate had to be derived from population with a mating design (or system) that included full-sib families nested within half-sib families or from mid-parent or sire offspring regression (Roff 1997).

This study focused on complex fruit quality traits that are commonly selected for by apple breeders, using a training population of 1120 seedlings (seven full sib families in a factorial mating design) within an ongoing scion breeding program, to ensure relevance.
