collected from approximately 1100 purebred Duroc pigs between 2011 and 2017. The meat quality traits evaluated were: moisture content (MC), fat content (FC), water holding capacity (WHC), cooking loss (CL), and shear force (SF). Meat samples were evaluated for the following fatty acids: palmitic, stearic, oleic, linoleic, and linolenic acids. We evaluated the meat for the following sensory traits: color, flavor, tenderness, juiciness, and acceptability of the meat. Variance and covariance components were estimated using restricted maximum likelihood procedures on different animal models. The results showed that the estimates of heritability for MC, FC, WHC, CL, and SF were 0.17, 0.58, 0.34, 0.31, and 0.42, respectively. The heritability estimates for fatty acid composition were moderate to high (0.34 to 0.63). The estimates of genetic correlation were -0.60 and 0.46 between MC and FC, and MC and SF, respectively. Generally, phenotypic correlation between meat quality traits was low. Linoleic acid had moderate to high negative phenotypic and genotypic correlation with both palmitic and oleic acid. Comparison of meat quality traits and sensory traits revealed a positive correlation (0.208) between acceptability and WHC, while the correlation between acceptability and SF was negative (-0.207). The estimated genetic parameters among meat quality traits, sensory traits, and fatty acid composition in this study are expected to be used to improve pork to suit consumer preferences.

본 연구는 흑쌀보리 육성을 위해 Otello, 흰쌀보리 및 늘쌀보리 등 3품종으로 교배하고 계대 육성하여 F7세대의 각 형질을 분석한 결과는 다음과 같다. F7세대에 대한 상관의 정도는 단백질 함량과 β-glucan 함량 간에서, β-glucan 함량과 까락 길이 간에서, β-glucan 함량과 1000립중 간에서, 이삭 길이와 1000립중 간에서 각각 유의하였다. 광의 유전력은 모든 형질에서 0.9292 이상으로 높았다. 경로계수 분석에서 1000립중에 관여하는 직접효과는 단백질 함량, β-glucan 함량, 이삭 길이가 정의 효과를 보였으며, 간접효과도 단백질 함량, β-glucan 함량, 이삭 길이의 관여 조합이 정의 효과를 보였다. 선발지수는 단일형질에서 까락 길이와 단백질 함량이 정으로 높았다. 3개 형질 및 4개 형질의 조합에서는 단백질 함량과 까락 길이의 관여가 모두 정으로 높았다.

The multicolored Asian lady beetles (Harmonia axyridis) has characteristic color patterns, which show great variability within species. Up to now, it has been well known that main factors affected on individual color pattern variations in the population of H. axyridis are external, physical, and environmental characteristics. Indeed, there is as yet no evidence to indicate whether the variation is genetic or environmental factors. Also the factors which produce this variation are unknown in this species, although it is suspected that much of the variation is under genetic control. However, the genetic relationships among many of color types were investigated by observing the progeny of each particular pairs. It is worth mentioning a few particular breeding cases to illustrate certain facets of variability, and to indicate examples suitable for genetic analysis of the color pattern variation.
