Fruit samples were stored in a controlled temperature cellar at 2°C for two months after harvest to maximize the trait phenotypic variance, as reported in Costa et al. [ 7], and high resolution phenotyping was carried out for two years.
To maximize the range of traits that could be analyzed in the F2 panel, the parental clones were chosen based on divergent phenotypes on parasite resistance and behavioral traits, reflecting the very different ecology of the habitats they were isolated from.
The purposes of Rasch analysis are to maximize the homogeneity of the trait and to allow greater reduction of redundancy at no sacrifice of measurement information by decreasing items and/or scoring levels to yield a more valid and simple measure.
On this regard, several traits such as thick pericarp, small berries with a larger number of seeds and high tannins and phenolic content have been selected for wine varieties, whereas thinner pericarps, seedlessness and larger rachis aiming to maximize the berry size, are the traits that have been selected for table grapes.
Animals were originally selected to maximize the pEBV accuracy of trait 2. Genotypes available from the PorcineSNP60 chip (N = 64,233) were filtered for extreme minor allele frequency (<0.001) and proportion missing genotypes by SNP (>10%).
We make use of regularized regression-based multi-task learning to simultaneously learn to predict different personality traits to maximize the recognition performance of leadership and extraversion.
In other words, selection will favor animals that generate the optimal number of progeny because this trait will maximize the number of animals in the population without overexploitation of the environmental niche.
Although higher temperature fermentation is thought to be an essential phenotypic trait to maximize the efficiency of bioethanol production by yeast on a large scale, few screening surveys have thus far been conducted to search for yeasts with the ability to grow and ferment at or above 40°C [ 19].
These approaches can also simultaneously take into account multiple environmental variables, such as native water availability, temperature, and soil traits, thereby potentially minimizing (or maximizing) the influence of traits that affect more than one environmental factor.
Tissue types were selected to attempt to maximize the number of transcripts recovered while generating resources for studying traits of interest related to development and metabolism.
