Sentence examples for multiple trait selection from inspiring English sources

Adding any of the linearly regressed traits to a multiple trait selection index may prove useful but similar results may be achieved by applying the appropriate weights to their component traits (feed intake, body weight gain, metabolic mid-weight) [ 6].

Both RG and RIG traits have characteristics that make them appealing for inclusion in a multiple trait selection index but similar results could be attained by applying appropriate emphasis on their component traits in a selection index.

For example, where a multiple trait selection index is used, including RFI as a goal trait may hold little or no advantage to using the components (feed intake, ADG, metabolic LW and back fat) as goal traits along with proper weightings.

To estimate the impact of differing technical weights on multiple traits a selection index model was used.

Responses of multiple traits to selection from a single environmental factor can be constrained by negative genetic correlations among those traits (Falconer and Mackay1996).

First, multiple traits under selection in the captive environment, while unlikely to affect the equilibrium outcome of models of gene flow (Huisman and Tufto 2012), can affect the rate of evolution from selection in captivity (Araki et al. 2007).

Truncation selection for multiple traits resulted in the selection of the following nine sub-NILs that had improved resistance relative to processing tomato cultivar E6203: 08GH5516; 08GH5616; 08GH5861; 08GH6042; 08GH6261; 08GH6288; 08GH6321; 08GH6345; and 08GH6805 (Table S1).

ADAPTATION to local environments may generate a selective response at several loci, either because the fitness-related traits are polygenic or because multiple traits are under selection.

Ultimately the degree to which multiple traits respond to selection is determined both by the distribution of genetic variances across those traits and by the genetic covariances among them, which jointly determine the amount of genetic variation that exists in the direction of selection (Lande 1979; Blows 2007).

It can be concluded that each QTL within a QTL hotspot might only contribute a small positive effect, but co-location of multiple traits indicate that selection for beneficial allele at these loci will result in a cumulative increase in yield due to the integrative positive effect of various QTLs.

Direct and correlated responses to 11 years of selection were estimated using BLUP methodology applied to a multiple trait animal model.
