SASQuant: A SAS software program to estimate genetic effects and heritabilities of quantitative traits in Populations consisting of 6 related generations

JOURNAL OF HEREDITY, 98(4), 345–350.

By: G. Gusmini n, T. Wehner n  & S. Donaghy n

MeSH headings : Computer Simulation; Crosses, Genetic; Genetic Variation; Models, Genetic; Phenotype; Plants / genetics; Quantitative Trait, Heritable; Software
TL;DR: SASQuant is a new program that estimates gene effects, genetic variances, heritability, predicted gain from selection, and number of effective factors (Wright's, Mather's, and Lande's models) and makes use of traditional genetic models and allows for their easy application to complex data sets.

2006 journal article

Qualitative inheritance of rind pattern and flesh color in watermelon

JOURNAL OF HEREDITY, 97(2), 177–185.

By: G. Gusmini n & T. Wehner n 

author keywords: Diabetes mellitus; Atherosclerosis; Coronary calcium; Ischaemia; Prognosis
MeSH headings : Breeding; Citrullus / anatomy & histology; Citrullus / genetics; Crosses, Genetic; Genes, Dominant; Genes, Plant / genetics; Phenotype; Pigmentation / genetics
TL;DR: The spotted phenotype from Moon and Stars was combined with light green and gray rind patterns for the development of novel cultivars with distinctive rind trends, raising questions on the inheritance of these traits. (via Semantic Scholar)

2005 article

Foundations of yield improvement in watermelon (vol 45, pg 141, 2003)

CROP SCIENCE, Vol. 45, pp. 810–810.

By: G. Gusmini n & T. Wehner n 

TL;DR: Watermelon breeders interested in developing new, high-yielding cultivars should make use of top performers in this study in their breeding programs, as consistent and significant yield differences across environments indicates genetic variation for the trait. (via Semantic Scholar)
