Spring 2019
A reproductive phenotype that has high variability, repeatability, heritability, and association with fertility could become an excellent candidate for genetic selection to augment fertility in dairy cows. Therefore, the general objective of this research was to evaluate the aforementioned...

Rutabaga (Brassica napus ssp. napobrassica (L.) Hanelt) is widely grown as a vegetable crop and animal fodder, and is reported to be an excellent source of clubroot (Plasmodiophora brassicae) resistance genes. In this study, the genetic diversity and clubroot resistance of 124 rutabaga accessions...

Effect of breed type and residual feed intake on meat and collagen quality and expression of genes involved in collagen synthesis and degradation in bovine m. gluteus medius
DownloadSpring 2020
Residual feed intake (RFI) is an index of feed efficiency that has been demonstrated to be moderately heritable, with cattle having low RFI values being efficient as they consume less feed for the same weight gain. This may be of financial benefit to producers, but to be fully beneficial to...

Estimating the Overlap of Top Instances in Lists Ranked by Correlation to Label
Spring 2012
Recent advances in high-throughput technologies, such as genome-wide SNP analysis and microar- ray gene expression profiling, have led to a multitude of ranked lists, where the features (SNPs, genes) are sorted based on their individual correlation with a phenotype. Multiple reviews have shown...

Estimation of genetic and phenotypic parameters for ultrasound and carcass merit traits in crossbred beef cattle
Download2014
Bruce, H. L., Plastow, G. S., Moore, S. S., Wang, Z., Nkrumah, D., Miar, Y., Durunna, O.
Ultrasound measurements of 852 crossbred steers along with carcass merit measurements on 756 of them were used to examine their genetic and phenotypic parameters. Traits including ultrasound backfat thickness (UBF), ultrasound ribeye area (UREA), ultrasound marbling (UMAR), carcass weight (CWT),...

Fall 2023
Given the roles of roots in water and nutrient uptake, anchorage, and storage of resources, root system architecture (RSA) can have a major impact on plant growth and development. The root systems of Brassica species, an important group that includes many field and horticultural crops, is...

Spring 2015
Advance in biotechnologies has enabled genome-wide association studies (GWAS) that scan the entire human genome for understanding genetic contributions to the risk of a certain disease as well as to variation in treatment efficacy and side effects. In GWAS, the association between each...

Goonewardene, L. A., Wang, Z., Yang, R. C., Huedepohl, C.
Data from the Alberta Agriculture Food and Rural Development data base, which keeps inventories of elk producers and velvet production information (n = 12 724), were used to estimate genetic and phenotypic variances, heritability and repeatability estimates for velvet antler using REML methods....

Dhir, N., Rweyongeza, D., Yeh, F.
We estimated heritabilities and correlations for bud flushing and growth traits of white spruce seedlings, and the correlations of seedling traits with 10- and 11-year height of the same families in the field. The seedling greenhouse experiment had a randomized complete block design with 30...

Genetic variation in height, branch and needle lengths of Pinus sylvestris L. from Siberia tested in Alberta, Canada
Download2003
Dhir, N.K., Rweyongeza, D., Yeh, F.C., Dancik, B.P.
We performed the analysis of variance and covariance on height, branch length, height to branch length ratio, and needle length measurements from thirty open-pollinated families of Pinus sylvestris L. from Siberia, Russia. This progeny trial was replicated on three sites in central Alberta,...
