For some traits, variation is controlled by a small number of genes and these are very amenable to association mapping.
While genotype × inoculation interactions were significant for some traits including TKW, no interaction was observed for biomass and grain yield.
QTL alleles from wild species that are favorable for some traits may be associated with deleterious effects on other traits (Xiao et al. 1998).
Our results suggest genetic variation for some traits in base populations can be maximized by using molecular marker information and strategy KIN.
Results suggested that little extra variation was present for some traits formally evaluated in North America, but that genes on the X chromosome were unlikely to be the cause.
Although instrumental readings are available for some traits, only those for weight, firmness, soluble solids and acidity are generally considered practical for most breeding purposes, at least in the early stages.
To go back, look for some traits associated with possible drought tolerance, or other extremes of conditions, and that can be your barleys, your oats, your peas," she explains.
Including genetic dominance, largely increased heritability, particularly for some traits.
Do we expect different network topologies for some traits than for others?
For example, should we expect a priori for some traits to be underlain by fewer genes than others?
Demographic and epidemiological analyses indicated a substantial genetic component contributing to each trait variation as well as overlapping genetic determinants and family clustering for some traits.
