A model-based site selection approach associated with regional frequency analysis for modeling extreme rainfall depths in Minas Gerais state, Southeast Brazil
Extreme rainfall data are usually scarce due to the low frequency of these events. However, prior knowledge of the precipitation depth and return period of a design event is crucial to water resource managemen...

Assessing the expected response to genomic selection of individuals and families in Eucalyptus breeding with an additive-dominant model
We report a genomic selection (GS) study of growth and wood quality traits in an outbred F2 hybrid Eucalyptus population (n=768) using high-density single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) genoty**. Going beyond pr...

Open AccessRegularized quantile regression for SNP marker estimation of pig growth curves
Genomic growth curves are generally defined only in terms of population mean; an alternative approach that has not yet been exploited in genomic analyses of growth curves is the Quantile Regression (QR). This ...

Bayesian GWAS and network analysis revealed new candidate genes for number of teats in pigs
The genetic improvement of reproductive traits such as the number of teats is essential to the success of the pig industry. As opposite to most SNP association studies that consider continuous phenotypes under...

Short-term responses of photosynthetic membrane lipids and photochemical efficiency in plants of Phaseolus vulgaris and Vigna unguiculata submitted to high irradiance
Primary leaves of young plants of common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris cv. Carioca and Negro Huasteco) and cowpea (Vigna unguiculata Walp cv. Epace 10) were exposed to high irradiance (HI) of 2 000 µmol m−2 s−1 for 10...
