Characteristics of growth traits and their effects on body weight of G1 individuals in the mud crab (Scylla paramamosain)

Authors: W. Jiang, H.Y. Ma, C.Y. Ma, S.J. Li, Y.X. Liu, Z.G. Qiao and L.B. Ma

The mud crab (Scylla paramamosain) is considered a potentially important marine crab species for selective breeding. Here, we first examined sex ratio and differences in 16 growth traits between females and males in a G1 population of S. paramamosain, and we then analyzed the correlation between these growth ..

Sampling strategies for natural Toona ciliata populations

Authors: J. Liu and J.M. Jiang

The genetic diversity and spatial autocorrelation of Toona ciliata populations were analyzed with eight microsatellite markers to determine an appropriate sampling strategy for the effective conservation of natural T. ciliata populations. The average number of alleles and effective number of alleles were 6.1 and 2.7, respectiv.. Read More»

Correlation between gene polymorphisms of CYP1A1, GSTP1, ERCC2, XRCC1, and XRCC3 and susceptibility to lung cancer

Authors: H.X. Liu, J. Li and B.G. Ye

Lung cancer is a common malignant tumor that is characterized by high morbidity and poor prognosis. Studies suggest that an individual’s genetic background affects the risk of developing lung cancer. Therefore, we investigated the relationship between gene polymorphisms and susceptibility to lung cancer. We recruited 308.. Read More»

Optimization of selective breeding through analysis of morphological traits in Chinese sea bass (Lateolabrax maculatus)

Authors: W. Wang, C.Y. Ma, W. Chen, H.Y. Ma, H. Zhang, Y.Y. Meng, Y. Ni and L.B. Ma

Determining correlations between certain traits of economic importance constitutes an essential component of selective activities. In this study, our aim was to provide effective indicators for breeding programs of Lateolabrax maculatus, an important aquaculture species in China. We analyzed correlations between 20 morphometric traits and body weight, usi.. Read More»

Developing selection criteria based on an ontogenetic path analysis approach to improve grain yield in barley

Authors: T.A. Setotaw, S.G. Belayneh, R. Gwinner and J.L. Ferreira

We used correlation and path coefficient analysis based on an ontogenetic approach to develop selection criteria in barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) for an early production system in Ethiopia. A total of 100 genotypes using 10 x 10-simple lattices with two replications were used to perform the experiment at Ambo and Asasa. The comb.. Read More»

Genetic analysis of QTL for eye cross and eye diameter in common carp (Cyprinus carpio L.) using microsatellites and SNPs

Authors: S.B. Jin, X.F. Zhang, J.G. Lu, H.T. Fu, Z.Y. Jia and X.W. Sun

A group of 107 F1 hybrid common carp was used to construct a linkage map using JoinMap 4.0. A total of 4877 microsatellite and single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) markers isolated from a genomic library (978 microsatellite and 3899 SNP markers) were assigned to construct the genetic map, which comprised 50 linkage groups. The total length of the linkage .. Read More»
