Genetic variability of sugarcane genotypes for red rot disease
Authors: M.S. Iqbal, B. Tabassum, M.F. Awan, M. Tariq, Q. Ali and I.A. Nasir
Sugarcane is a vital crop grown for sugar and sugary products. The importance of sugarcane has been increased greatly as many countries have started the biofuel production using sugarcane as a source. This crop suffers many diseases caused by bacteria, fungi, and viruses. Red rot is one of the major diseases which limit the yield every year. We have scree.. Read More»

Genetic studies for yield and related traits in micro and macrosperma exotic lentil genotypes
Authors: Ch. Muhammad Rafiq, Sadia Kaukab, Aqsa Tahir, Masood Qadir, Busharat Hussain, Shakeel Ahmad Anwar, Muhammad Tariq Mahmood, Ali Aziz, Amir Hameed and Khalid Mehmood Mughal
With respect to seed size lentil (Lens culinaris Medikus) species usually are distributed into two main groups namely Microsperma (<2.5 g/100-seeds) with small rounded seeds and Macrosperma (>2.5 g/100-seeds) with larger and more flattened seeds. The seeds/pod and pods/plant will decrease as the seed size increases that adversely affect the.. Read More»

Water stress adaptation of popcorn roots and association with agronomic traits
Authors: S. H. Kamphorst, V. J. de Lima, K. F. M. Schimitt, J. T. Leite1,V. C. Azeredo, G.F. Pena, P.H.A.D. Santos, D.R. Santos J�ºnior, S. B. da Silva J�ºnior, R. B. Bispo, T. O. Santos, S. Khan and A.T. do Amaral Junior
Water stress reduces the yield of agricultural crops severely. The objectives of this study were to investigate genotypic differences between 20 popcorn lines in environments under wellirrigated (WW) and water stressed (WS) conditions to determine phenotypic, genetic and environmental relations among agronomic and root traits...

The correlation analysis of polymorphisms of Prion-Related Doppel (PRND) with prion (PRNP) alleles in Gansu Alpine Merino sheep
Authors: Yuan-zi Liu, Chun-lin Zhao, Yu-Ze Yang, Run Wu, Chuan Wang, Xue-Rui Wan1, Yan Wang
The interaction between the ovine prion protein gene (PRNP) and Doppel (PRND) gene polymorphisms is essential for understanding the role of prion proteins in scrapie. In this study, the blood genomic DNA samples of 111 Gansu Alpine Merino sheep were used to define the PRNP alleles and the haplotypes of PRND by PCR-SSCP (single.. Read More»

Correlation analysis of ADAMTS-4, VCAM-1, and TAK1 expression in cartilage tissue from spine tuberculosis
Authors: Z.X. Qiu, Z.S. Sha, X.M. Che and M.Y. Wang
A disintegrin and metalloproteinase with thrombospondin motifs 4 (ADAMTS-4) can effectively degrade articular cartilage matrix proteoglycan and damage the intervertebral disc of spinal tuberculosis patients, resulting in deterioration of the physical properties of articular cartilage. Transforming growth factor β activate.. Read More»

Genetic correlation and genome-wide association study (GWAS) of the length of productive life, days open, and 305-days milk yield in crossbred Holstein dairy cattle
Authors: P. Saowaphak, M. Duangjinda, S. Plaengkaeo, R. Suwannasing and W. Boonkum
In this study, we estimated the genetic parameters and identified the putative quantitative trait loci (QTL) associated with the length of productive life (LPL), days open (DO), and 305-day milk yield for the first lactation (FM305) of crossbred Holstein dairy cattle. Data comprising 4,739 records collected between 1986 and 20.. Read More»
