Sentence examples for breeding values to increase from inspiring English sources

The aim of this study was to estimate the potential of within-family genomic breeding values to increase genetic gain and reduce rate of inbreeding.

Several investigators have advocated the application of hip breeding values to breeding decisions including Ginja et al. [19] most recently.

Genomic breeding values [ 1] depend less on own phenotype than traditional BLUP (best linear unbiased prediction) breeding values, and can increase genetic gain, especially for traits that are difficult to improve by conventional selection [ 2].

The increased interest in GWAS is due to the use of molecular markers to improve the accuracy of breeding value estimation and to increase our understanding of the genetic control of important production traits.

Using a genomic relationship matrix increased the accuracy of breeding values relative to using a pedigree relationship matrix.

Similarly, sequence data increased the ability of Bayes B to predict breeding values after many generations (reference population 2), increasing the accuracy by 5% for the 1,000 QTL model.

They also tried irradiating hens, seeds and barnyard breeding stock to increase productivity.

GNS4 can be targeted in breeding programs to increase yields.

Hybrid rice breeding facilitates to increase grain yield and yield stability.

However, as the number of QTL increases this ability to predict breeding values decreases.

Comparatively, breeding values estimated with genomewide distributed markers (MEBV) will increase annual genetic gain due to a reduced generation interval and improved accuracy, at lower costs [ 2, 1].
