The QTL mapping results were compared with the genotypically selected and random samples of the same size on the base of a RIL population. The results demonstrated that there were no obvious differences in the trait distribution and marker segregation distortion between the genotypically selected and random samples with the same population size. However, a significant increase in QTL detection power, sensitivity, specificity, and QTL resolution in the genotypically selected samples were observed.

Two cycles of mass (MS) and half-sib (HS) recurrent selection and one cycle of marker-assisted selection (MAS) for yield were carried out in two synthetic maize populations DC0 and XFC0, respectively. The genetic diversity of five maize (Zea mays L.) populations, including basic population DC0 and its developed populations HSC2, MSC2, and basic population XFC0 and its developed populations XFC1, were evaluated by 49 SSR primers, which are averagely distributed on 10 maize chromosomes.

Objective: To explore the risk factors of Parkinson disease (PD), interaction between family history of PD and other risk factors, as well as the relative strength of genetic factors over the vulnerability of PD.

Methods: One 1:1 matched case-control study including 157 pairs of cases and controls was conducted in Qilu Hospital of Shandong University.

Results: Conditional logistic regression analysis showed that family history of PD, mental labor, insecticide, alcohol drinking and history of depression all had positive relationship, while smoking had a negative relationship with PD.
