ABSTRACT

Prospects for utilizing whole-genome association analysis in autogamous plant populations appear promising due to the reported high levels of linkage disequilibrium (LD). To determine the optimal strategies for implementing association analysis in soybean (Glycine max L. Merr.), we analyzed the structure of LD in three regions of the genome varying in length from 336 to 574 kb. This analysis was conducted in four distinct groups of soybean germplasm: 26 accessions of the wild ...

Association analysis as a strategy for improvement of quantitative traits in plants.
Crop Science ; ASSOCIATION ANALYSIS (AA), also known as association mapping or linkage disequilibrium mapping, is a method that relies on linkage disequilibrium to study the relationship between phenotypic variation and genetic polymorphisms (reviewed by Flint-Garcia et al., 2003). Linkage disequilibrium (LD) is
Beyond transition: a comparison of the employment experiences of American and Canadian adults with LD.
Journal of Learning Disabilities ; Beyond the K-12 years and the preparation for transition lies an entire lifetime of work for individuals with learning disabilities (LD). Yet the literature of transition rarely informs us about the realities of the workplace. It is fraught with generic considerations for individuals with
Teachers with LD: ongoing negotiations with discourses of disability.(learning disabilities)
Journal of Learning Disabilities ; In a Roper poll of 1,000 adults over the age of 18 conducted for the Emily Hall Tremaine Foundation (2000), researchers reported that public understanding of learning disabilities (LD) is increasing, in terms of both overall awareness and accuracy. Although this finding is encouraging, we contend
LD and Delinquency: Rethinking the "Link".(learning disabilities)
Journal of Learning Disabilities ; Abstract Longitudinal data from a 7-year prospective study was examined to investigate whether the presence of learning disabilities (LD) increases a youth's risk of becoming a juvenile delinquent. The sample included 515 students enrolled in the fifth grade in the fall of 1985, 51 (9.9%) of whom
Substance Use Disorders in Young Adults With and Without LD: Predictive and Concurrent Relationships.(Statistical Data Included)
Journal of Learning Disabilities ; Although increasing research interest has focused on the growing problem of substance use disorders (SUD) in adolescents and young adults, few studies have examined this problem in young people with learning disabilities (LD).
