Authors: B.L. Guo, Y. Jiao, C. He, L.X. Wei, Z.H. Chang, X.P. Yue, X.Y. Lan, H. Chen and C.Z. Lei
Milk composition and body measurement traits, influenced by genes and environmental factors, play important roles in value assessments of efficiency and productivity in dairy goats. Lactoferrin (LF), involved in the efficient expression of protein in milk, is also an anabolic factor in skeletal tissue and a potent osteoblast s.. Read More»

An efficient method for DNA extraction from Cladosporioid fungi
Authors: M.A. Moslem, A.H. Bahkali, K.A. Abd-Elsalam and P.J.G.M. Wit
We developed an efficient method for DNA extraction from Cladosporioid fungi, which are important fungal plant pathogens. The cell wall of Cladosporioid fungi is often melanized, which makes it difficult to extract DNA from their cells. In order to overcome this we grew these fungi for three days on agar plates and extracted D.. Read More»

Transcriptional analysis of the porcine TTID gene and association of different TTID genotypes with carcass traits
Authors: J. Wang, Y.-P. Feng, B. Zuo, Y.-Z. Xiong and C.-Y. Deng
The titin immunoglobulin domain (TTID) protein localizes to the Z line in muscle and binds to alpha-actinin and gamma-filamin. It plays an indispensable role in stabilizing and anchoring of thin filaments. In this study, the 5'-regulatory region of the porcine TTID gene was analyzed with bioinformatic methods. Another objectiv.. Read More»

Molecular characterization of Calocedrus rupestris Aver., H.T. Nguyen & L.K. Phan, 2008 (Cupressaceae) based on ITS1 partial sequence
Authors: P.K. Long, N.T.P. Trang, L.V. Averyanov and P.K. Loc
Calocedrus rupestris Aver., H.T. Nguyen & L.K. Phan was described in 2008 based on some morphological characters that were not sufficiently significant to discriminate it as a species distinct from C. macrolepis Kurz. We applied a new approach to resolve these conflicting views by using sequence data from DNA (ITS) to eluc.. Read More»

Detection of novel SNPs and mapping of the fatness QTL on pig chromosome 7q1.1-1.4 region
Authors: W.H. Huang, Z.X. Ma, Z.Y. Xu, Y.Z. Xiong and B. Zuo
Many QTLs for fatness traits have been mapped on pig chromosome 7q1.1-1.4 in various pig resource populations. Eight novel markers, including seven SNPs and one insertion or deletion within BTNL1, COL21A1, PPARD, GLP1R, MDFI, GNMT, ABCC10, and PLA2G7 genes, as well as two previously reported SNPs in SLC39A7 and HMGA1 genes, we..

Genetic parameter estimates and response to selection for weight and testicular traits in Nelore cattle
Authors: F.R. Araujo Neto, R.B. L�´bo, M.D.S. Mota and H.N. Oliveira
We estimated genetic parameters for various phases of body and testicular growth until 550 days of age in Nelore cattle, using Bayesian inference, including correlation values and error estimates. Weight and scrotal records of 54,182 Nelore animals originating from 18 farms participating in the Brazilian Nelore Breeding Progra.. Read More»

Ranking of Nellore animals in cattle championships: genetic parameters and correlations with production traits
Authors: E.A. Simielli Filho, M.E.Z. Mercadante, J.A. II Vasconcelos Silva and L.A. Josahkian
Records of 17,141 Nellore cattle participating in cattle championships, born from 1994-2009, were used to estimate genetic parameters between animal rank in cattle championships, evaluated from weaning to 36 months of age as repeated traits, and growth, fertility, and carcass traits, evaluated at 365 days of age as single trai..

Genetic diversity in Tunisian populations of faba bean (Vicia faba L.) based on morphological traits and molecular markers
Authors: I.Z. Backouchi, M. Aouida, N. Khemiri and M. Jebara
Genetic diversity within Vicia faba L. is key to the genetic improvement of this important species. In this study, morphological traits and RAPD molecular markers were used to assess the levels of polymorphism across 12 Tunisian populations, three major and nine minor from different locations. Analysis of morphological traits indicated that the three majo.. Read More»

Genetic analysis of drought tolerance with respect to fiber traits in upland cotton
Authors: R.A. Nasimi, I.A. Khan, M.A. Iqbal and A.A. Khan
Cotton germplasm was analyzed to investigate its potential for developing water stress tolerance in varieties in the future. Four tolerant (NIAB-78, CIM-482, BH-121, and VH-142) and four susceptible (CIM-446, FH-1000, FH-900, and FH-901) lines were identified of 50 accessions based on their seedling root length. A complete set.. Read More»

A novel polymorphism of the MYPN gene and its association with meat quality traits in Bos taurus
Authors: Y. Jiao, L.S. Zan, Y.F. Liu, H.B. Wang and B.L. Guo
Myopalladin (MYPN) is a multifunctional protein that maintains sarcomeric integrity and regulates Z-line structure. It is an important candidate gene for meat quality selection through marker-assisted selection. Using PCR-RFLP technology, we discovered a single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) (A1795G in exon 9) of the MYPN gene... Read More»
