Creator:: Humes, Paul Edwin
Abstract:: The investigations were based on a complete diallel cross among three inbred lines of Hereford cattle. Records of Angus calves born during the same period were used to obtain more accurate estimates of environmental effects and to determine breed differences among the various traits included in the study. Estimates of...

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...
