The phrase "a set of breeding" is not correct and does not convey a clear meaning in written English.
It may be intended to refer to a collection or group related to breeding, but it lacks clarity and context.
Example: "The researchers studied a set of breeding pairs to understand their genetic traits."
Alternatives: "a group of breeding" or "a collection of breeding".
In this study, a combination of conventional QTL analysis and genome wide association analysis (GWAS) was used to determine the genetic architecture of leaf rust resistance in sorghum using three bi-parental mapping populations and a set of elite breeding lines phenotyped in hybrid combination with multiple testers.
Buckler and colleagues created a set of 25 breeding populations known as the Nested Association Mapping (NAM) panel (McMullen et al. 2009) that samples the diversity of maize.
Diversity was characterized in a broad set of breeding lines and exotic lines representing a standard germplasm panel indicating that G. barbadense is much more diverse than G. hirsutum.
Determining an optimal set of breeding pairs (toll #22) is an instance of a classic computational problem known in the Operations Research literature as the "assignment problem", and called "weighted optimal bipartite matching" by computer scientists; it can be solved efficiently [ 76].
MADCE is currently in use for the genotyping of an extensive set of breeding germplasm in strawberries.
In agreement with this, LD decay at the COMT locus was similar between a diverse set of lines (r2 = 0.2 within ~250 bp) [ 20] and a set of elite European breeding lines (r2 = 0.2 within ~500 bp) [ 21].
For the pedigree analysis, a set of 21 cultivars and breeding lines including 'Holiday' and 'Korona' was used.
An additional file presents the data set comprised of breeding data, isotope signatures and feather colour scores used in analyses [see Additional file 2].
Using a maximum-entropy habitat suitability model and a set of macroecological criteria we delineate breeding and wintering patches for each year simulated.
