Authors: H.M. Zhang, G.Q. Hui, Q. Luo, Y. Sun and X.H. Liu
Maize (Zea mays L.) is one of the most important crops in the world. In this study, 13 agronomic traits of a recombinant inbred line population that was derived from the cross between Mo17 and Huangzao4 were investigated in maize: ear diameter, ear length, ear axis diameter, ear weight, plant height, ear height, days to pollen..

A novel single-nucleotide polymorphism in the 5' upstream region of the prolactin receptor gene is associated with fiber traits in Liaoning cashmere goats
Authors: J.P. Zhou, X.P. Zhu, W. Zhang, F. Qin, S.W. Zhang and Z.H. Jia
The most important traits of Chinese Liaoning cashmere goat fiber are fiber diameter, weight, and length. We looked for polymorphisms and their possible association with cashmere fiber traits in the 5' upstream region (5' UTR) of the prolactin receptor gene (PRLR), which encodes an anterior pituitary peptide hormone involved i..

Association of CD4 SNPs with fat percentage of Holstein cattle
Authors: T. Usman, Y. Yu, L. Zhai, C. Liu, X. Wang and Y. Wang
Cluster of differentiation 4 gene (CD4) is well known for its role in immunity, but its effects on production traits remain to be elucidated. The present study was designed to explore single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the exons, flanking introns, and promoter of CD4, as well as to analyze their effects on milk production traits (percentage of prot..

Classification and phylogenetic analysis of Chinese hawthorn assessed by plant and pollen morphology
Authors: S.L.Y. Ma and Y.M. Lu
The Chinese hawthorn (Crataegus pinnatifida Bge. var. major N.E.Br.) is uniquely originated in northern China. The ecological and horticultural importance of Chinese hawthorn is considerable and some varieties are valued for their fruit or medicine extracts. Its taxonomy and phylogeny remain poorly understood. Apart from general plant morphological traits.. Read More»

Identification of SNPs in growth-related genes in Colombian creole cattle
Authors: R. Martinez, J.F. Rocha, D. Bejarano, Y. Gomez, Y. Abuabara and J. Gallego
Colombian creole cattle have important adaptation traits related to heat tolerance and reproductive and productive efficiency. Romosinuano (ROMO) and Blanco Orejinegro (BON) are the most common breeds used by Colombian cattle breeders. Growth traits are of prime importance in these animals, which are mainly raised for beef production. Genes encoding growt.. Read More»

Genetic structure and diversity in the Dioscorea cayenensis/D. rotundata complex revealed by morphological and isozyme markers
Authors: E.A. Bressan, T. Briner Neto M.I. Zucchi R.J. Rabelloand E.A. Veasey
Of the 600 known yam species, only 10 are utilized as food, and the Dioscorea cayenensis/D. rotundata species complex is among the most cultivated. In Brazil, these species are commercially cultivated in the northeast region and are cultivated in the south and southeast regions as subsistence crops by traditional agriculturist.. Read More»

Molecular DNA identification of medicinal plants used by traditional healers in Malaysia
Authors: N.A.A. Aziz, M.I. Ahmad, D.M. Naim
Plants have been used throughout human history for food and medicine. However, many plants are toxic, and cannot easily be morphologically distinguished from non-toxic plants. DNA identification solves this problem and is widely used. Nonetheless, plant DNA barcode identification faces a number of challenges, and many studies .. Read More»

Two novel SNPs of the 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A reductase gene associated with growth and meat quality traits in the chicken
Authors: Y. Wei S.K. Zhu S. Zhang R.L. Han Y.D. Tian G.R. Sun X.T. Kang
The enzyme 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A reductase (HMGCR) is rate-limiting for metabolism of cholesterol; it plays an important role in endogenous cholesterol biosynthesis. We used DNA sequencing technology and created restriction site PCR-RFLP to detect HMGCR SNPs in an F2 resource population of Gushi chicken and Anka broilers. We found a G/T mu.. Read More»

Authors: Q.C. Fan, P.F. Wu, G.J. Dai, G.X. Zhang, T. Zhang, Q. Xue,H.Q. Shi, J.Y. Wang
Reproductive traits have long been studied and have an important influence on chicken breeding. To identify quantitative trait loci affecting reproductive traits, a genome-wide analysis of a Chinese chicken breed was performed to analyze age at first egg body weight at first egg, first egg weight, egg weight at the age of 300 ..
