  • Estimation of general and specific combining abilities from a diallel cross of three inbred lines of Suffolk sheep

    Creator:
    Schilling, Prentiss E. (Prentiss Edwin), 1941-
    Abstract:
    The investigations were based on a complete diallel cross among three inbred lines of Suffolk sheep. Line of sire effects were assumed to be an estimate of general combining ability effects while sire x dam interaction was assumed to be an estimate of specific combining ability. The line of dam...

  • Effects of radiation on selection progress in mice

    Creator:
    Womack, James Ernest
    Abstract:
    The effects of x-irradiation on quantitative genetic traits was investigated by comparing the response of irradiated mice to selection for litter size and 28-day weight with the response to selection for the same two traits in non-irradiated lines. Irradiated lines were maintained at three levels of x-irradiation, 25 r, 50...
