Trait and State Self-Esteem

11.5K
The term self-esteem is often used generically, to refer to how people feel about themselves. However, according to research, there are three distinct constructs that should not be used interchangeably (Brown & Marshall, 2006).

Polygenic Traits

69.2K
When more than one gene is responsible for a given phenotype, the trait is considered polygenic. Human height is a polygenic trait. Studies have uncovered hundreds of loci that influence height, and there are believed to be many more. Due to the high number of genes involved, as well as environmental and nutritional factors, height varies significantly within a given population. The distribution of height forms a bell-shaped curve, with relatively few individuals in the population at the...

Incomplete Dominance

30.1K
Gregor Mendel's work (1822 - 1884) was primarily focused on pea plants. Through his initial experiments, he determined that every gene in a diploid cell has two variants called alleles inherited from each parent. He suggested that amongst these two alleles, one allele is dominant in character and the other recessive. The combination of alleles determines the phenotype of a gene in an organism.

Traits and States01:17

Traits and States

568
Personality traits represent consistent patterns in behavior, thoughts, and emotions, reflecting an individual's tendencies across various situations. For example, extraversion, a well-known trait, manifests in individuals as talkative, energetic, and enthusiastic behaviors. These traits are stable over time, offering a reliable framework for predicting how people might act in different contexts. However, they do not define every moment of an individual's life. In contrast to traits,...

X-linked Traits01:19

X-linked Traits

58.9K
In most mammalian species, females have two X sex chromosomes and males have an X and Y. As a result, mutations on the X chromosome in females may be masked by the presence of a normal allele on the second X. In contrast, a mutation on the X chromosome in males more often causes observable biological defects, as there is no normal X to compensate. Trait variations arising from mutations on the X chromosome are called “X-linked”.

Area of Science:

  • Forestry and genetics
  • Quantitative genetics
  • Animal breeding

Background:

  • Accurate estimation of genetic parameters like heritability is crucial for effective tree breeding.
  • Integrating genomic information offers potential to improve breeding value predictions.
  • Multiple-trait selection can enhance overall genetic gain in tree improvement programs.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the impact of combining pedigree and genomic relationship matrices in a multiple-trait individual-tree mixed model.
  • To assess the effect of this combined approach on heritability estimates and genomic correlations for growth and stem straightness in Eucalyptus grandis.
  • To determine the added advantage of genomic information on the accuracy of breeding values for parents and offspring.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized a multiple-trait individual-tree mixed model incorporating both pedigree and genomic relationship matrices.
  • Estimated heritability and additive genetic correlations for growth and stem straightness traits.
  • Compared the predictive ability of the combined approach against single-trait and pedigree-only models.

Main Results:

  • The combined approach significantly improved heritability estimates and additive genetic correlations.
  • Incorporating genomic data increased the accuracy of breeding value predictions for parents and offspring.
  • The multiple-trait combined approach outperformed single-trait models, particularly for low-heritability traits.

Conclusions:

  • The combined pedigree and genomic approach is advantageous for multiple-trait evaluations in forest tree breeding.
  • Genomic information enhances the accuracy of breeding values, leading to more efficient selection.
  • This method is recommended for forest tree progeny testing, especially within multiple-trait individual-tree mixed models.
