However, the strength of such variation and its relative importance were highly species-specific, with the fruit type being a determinant plant trait.
This discrepancy between results may result from different genetic determinants of trait variation in the populations studied.
Each implementation method (fixed percentage or threshold treatment) and determinant criteria (phenotypic trait) was assessed in terms of benefit per R (BPR), the ratio of average benefit in weight gain to change in frequency of resistance alleles R (relative to an untreated population).
OMT3 was found to be the major genetic determinant for this trait in two independent studies [ 60, 61].
A dictionary definition of racism is "a belief that race is the primary determinant of human traits and capacities and that racial differences produce an inherent superiority of a particular race".
While gene networks controlling biological processes presumably include the genetic determinants of complex trait variation, these two important areas of study have remained largely independent.
While the behavioral correlates of general intelligence have been extensively studied, an elucidation of the neural or molecular determinants of this trait has been slow, despite its having been described as the "holy grail" of intelligence research [1].
Important sources of Macrophomina phaseolina resistance in cowpea were identified and QTLs for trait determinants of the resistance were located on the EST-derived SNP map.
Therefore, application of the RPP method to existing data could augment, or sometimes obviate the need for, other markers to meet objectives such as map-based cloning and sub-Mb resolution of the position of trait determinants.
The statistical framework of association methods is largely similar to that of genome-wide association studies (GWAS), which were originally developed in humans [ 27] to map complex trait determinants.
