The inheritance mode, realized heritability of pyriproxyfen resistance and cross-resistance to other insecticides were assessed.
In particular, the heritability and mode of inheritance have not been defined for the Portuguese Water Dog although Addison's is known to be prevalent in the breed.
The high heritability and mode of inheritance of Addison's disease in the Portuguese Water Dog should enable the detection of segregating markers in a genome-wide scan and the identification of a locus linked to Addison's.
In particular, the heritability and mode of inheritance have not been defined for the Portuguese Water Dog although breeders recognize that Addison's is a concern in the breed (Canine Health Foundation, American Kennel Club 2001 survey).
Although a high degree of heritability is known for BD, the mode of inheritance for this disorder appears complex, indicating that it is non-Mendelian in nature and involves genes that have yet to be identified [ 2].
The modes of gene action, heritability, and correlations between agronomic traits and carotenoid content were estimated.
In this study, the heritability and the mode of inheritance, as determined by complex segregation analysis, are reported for the Portuguese Water Dog.
Human height is highly heritable, and in fact, the first studies of heritability examined human height.
To clarify the heritability and predict the mode of inheritance of Addison's disease in the Portuguese Water Dog, a study was initiated in conjunction with the Portuguese Water Dog Club of America.
The key concept here is of heritability.
