Sentence examples for moderate heritability values from inspiring English sources

The FCR and RFI showed moderate heritability values of 0.16 and 0.21, respectively.

Among Burrishoole salmon in this study, only moderate heritability values for a continuous trait can be detected with sufficient power.

The RFI and FCR traits have moderate heritability values in broilers [ 4, 5]; however published parameters for feed efficiency traits including RFI in the turkey have not been reported.

On the basis of these evaluations, we conclude that the genetic information acquired on Burrishoole Atlantic salmon is suitable for detecting variation in reproductive success less than two fold between different groups within the cohorts, and also for estimating moderate heritability values for continuous life history traits.

Assuming moderate heritability values for bud set (e.g. on average 0.43 and 0.36 for cross P and D, respectively; data not shown), these QTLs explaining 20% of the total phenotypic variance would account for at least 47% of the genetic additive variance.

We also show that 1.5 fold differences can be detected between groups simulated to have differing reproductive success, and that it is possible to detect moderate heritability values for continuous traits (h ~ 0.40) with more than 80% power when using 28 moderately to highly polymorphic markers.

Among the other traits, with moderate heritabilities, breeding values obtained from 25 markers captured approximately one-fifth of the overall correlation.

Low to moderate narrow sense heritability values ranging from 0.22 to 0.45 were obtained for pupae in stem.

The power calculated with an assumed type 1 error rate (not the real type 1 error rate) was higher with the regression method than with the FASTA method for low (large families) to moderate (small families) heritability values.

Considering the moderate to high heritability values observed for the three adaptive traits (i.e. about 0.41, 0.40 and 0.62 on average for both environments, for bud flush, bud set and height growth, respectively; detailed data not shown), these environmentally stable QTLs that explain at least 30% of the total phenotypic variance would account for more than 48% of the genetic additive variance.

The FA composition of porcine fat and muscle tissues exhibits moderate to high heritability values, and the results of studies performed on data from several tissues point out the different genetic control of FA composition in diverse fat and muscle tissues [ 6– 8].
