Some people, the theory went, were more inclined to discriminate than others; prejudice was linked to traits such as authoritarianism, associated with a highly subservient attitude towards authority figures and an authoritarian attitude towards lower-status minorities.
The results revealed that the risk of high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes and coronary artery disease were genetically linked to a low birth weight, whereas a higher birth weight was linked to traits including birth length, greater waist circumference and adult height.
The 7R allele (version) of this gene is linked to traits such as novelty seeking and extraversion.
Personal/individual identities are linked to traits or personality characteristics (Stryker 2007), whereas relational identities are associated with roles and behavioral expectations (Stryker and Burke 2000).
Hence, the search for QTLs and DNA markers tightly linked to traits related to salt tolerance becomes a major objective in most breeding programs.
Restriction-site associated DNA (RAD) sequencing presents a powerful approach to dramatically improve molecular marker density across genomes and considerably accelerate the identification of genomic regions linked to traits of interest.
