Wong and Bernardo (2008) showed in a simulation study that genomic selection could increase the rate of genetic gain in oil palm (Elaeis guineensis). In order to estimate the accuracy of genomic selection in a real breeding program, we applied a cross-validation approach to the largest dataset...
The prediction of clonal genetic value for yield is challenging in oil palm (Elaeis guineensis Jacq.). Currently, clonal selection involves two stages of phenotypic selection (PS): ortet preselection on traits with sufficient heritability among a small number of individuals in the best crosses in ...
Genomic selection (GS) uses genome-wide markers as an attempt to accelerate genetic gain in breeding programs of both animals and plants. This approach is particularly useful for perennial crops such as oil palm, which have long breeding cycles, and for which the optimal method for GS is ...
Tammi, et al., 2017 Genomic Selection in Commercial Perennial Crops: Applicability and Improvement in Oil Palm (Elaeis guineensis Jacq.). Scientific Reports, 7(2872):1:9.Kwong, Q.B., Ong, A.L., Teh, C.K., Chew, F.T., Tammi, M., Mayes, S., Kulaveerasingam, H., Yeoh, S.H...
Besides high LIN or high LIO, high YLD and high OIL are also important selection targets in linseed breeding. We did not find consistent and significant negative genetic correlations between YLD and OIL, LIN, or LIO in any of the populations (Table 2), a finding indicative of, among other...
Genomic selection has become a reality in plant breeding programs with the reduction in genotyping costs. Especially in maize breeding programs, it emerges as a promising tool for predicting hybrid performance. The dynamics of a commercial breeding program involve the evaluation of several traits simult...
[ 2 ]. for plant breeding, genomic selection is anticipated to facilitate commercialization of improved genotypes at shorter intervals of time than phenotypic selection. for example, the selection cycle for palm oil breeding has been reduced from 19 to 6 years [ 3 , 4 ]. in humans, ...
Mice on standard diet (13.5% fat, 43% carbohydrates, 29% protein) showed sex specific differences in body weight. By 20 weeks of age femaleAd-Tmem120a−/−animals began to weigh significantly less than controls (Supplementary Fig.2a). Interestingly, a difference in male body weight, altho...
(Fig.5b), indicating the selection of these traits. The SNP-GWAS identified 1,211 SNPs on chromosome 4 associated with inflorescence color (IFC) (Fig.5f). Two SNPs were found in the regulatory regions oflongmi008332, encoding a glutathioneS-transferase (Fig.5fand Supplementary Fig.29a), ...
However, they have some limitations related to the selection and synthesis of specific DNA probes as well as to the fact that detecting short DNA sequence of long double stranded DNA is a common problem in applying biosensing systems for DNA detection (Skottrup et al., 2008; Fang and ...
