Data were presented on epididymal spermatozoa from 29 inbred
and linecross bulls raised at Oregon State University in connection
with the Western Regional Beef Cattle Breeding Project, W-1. The
inbred bulls came from four inbred lines. Three of these inbred
lines were Herfords and the other line was Angus. The...
An experiment was conducted to determine if selection from
standardized litters would be effective in separating lines of mice
selected for increased and decreased litter weight at 14 days of age,
and if response to selection on this maternally influenced trait could
be accurately predicted.
Data were collected on litter...
Tuberous sclerosis is a serious heritable human disorder
that involves many organ systems. It was first recognized as a
disease entity over a century ago. Its mode of transmission in
familial cases has been fairly well established to be that of a single
gene locus autosomal dominant trait. However, the...
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...
Three inbred and relatively unrelated lines of Hereford cattle
(1. Lionheart, 2. Prince, and 3. David) developed at the Corvallis
branch of the Oregon Agricultural Experiment Station as part of the
W-1 project of the Western States were crossed annually from 1963
through 1965 inclusive. Data on 137 inbred and...
Data were taken, following irradiation exposure to
100r and 300r cumulative dose, on 89 rabbits of three
breeds that vary greatly in body size. Hematological,
intestinal motility, and ear vascularity examinations
were performed. Least square estimates have been obtained and an analysis of variance has been conducted in
order estimate...
