Association of ectomycorrhizal fungi with Picea crassifolia (Pinaceae, Piceoidae) from high-altitude stands in Mount Helan Nature Reserve, China
Authors: Y.J. Fan, T. Grebenc, J. Wei, Y.L. Zhao, W. Yan and L.B. Wang
We investigated the diversity of ectomycorrhiza associated with the endemic Picea crassifolia in Mount Helan National Nature Reserve in Inner Mongolia, China. Toward this objective, we conducted morphological and molecular identification of ectomycorrhizae in soil cubes taken from pure P. crassifolia stands. Eleven types of ec.. Read More»

Analysis of the relationship between ribosomal DNA ITS sequences and active components in Rhodiola plants
Authors: D.J. Zhang, W.T. Yuan, M.T. Li and Y.H. Zhang
Rhodiola plants are a valuable resource in traditional Chinese medicine. The objective of this study was to evaluate the correlation between ribosomal DNA internal transcribed spacer (ITS) sequences and the three active components in Rhodiola plants. For this, we determined ITS sequence polymorphisms and the concentrations of .. Read More»

Evaluation on the germplasm of maize (Zea mays L.) landraces from southwest China
Authors: F.B. Chen, Q.L. Yao, H.F. Liu and P. Fang
Because of their local adaptation and economic factors that limit the adoption of commercial hybrids, farmer-saved maize landraces are still grown over a considerable area concentrated in southwest China. To evaluate the potential of using maize landraces, the germplasm characteristics of 96 landraces from southwest China were.. Read More»

Correlation and path analysis of biomass sorghum production
Authors: T.P.S. Vendruscolo, M.A.A. Barelli, M.A.S. Castrillon, R.S. da Silva, F.T. de Oliveira, C.L. Corr�?ªa, B.W. Zago and F.D. Tardin
Sorghum biomass is an interesting raw material for bioenergy production due to its versatility, potential of being a renewable energy source, and low-cost of production. The objective of this study was to evaluate the genetic variability of biomass sorghum genotypes and to estimate genotypic, phenotypic, and environmental corr.. Read More»

Association of novel single nucleotide polymorphisms of the CXCR1 gene with the milk performance traits of Chinese native cattle
Authors: L. Zhou, H.M. Wang, Z.H. Ju, Y. Zhang, J.M. Huang, C. Qi, M.H. Hou, L.G. An, J.F. Zhong and C.F. Wang
Mastitis is an economically devastating disease affecting the dairy industry. Dairy cows with mastitis give reduced milk yield and produce milk that is unfit for consumption. The chemokine receptor CXCR1 is an excellent prospective genetic marker for mastitis resistance in cattle because it regulates neutrophil migration, killing, and survival during infe.. Read More»

Evaluation of the taxonomic status of water dropwort (Oenanthe, Apiaceae) accessions from East Asia based on nuclear rDNA internal transcribed spacer sequences
Authors: S. Fu, L.N. Li, Z.C. Long, W.D. Ke, A.H. Ye, Y.H. Guo and J.M. Chen
Oenanthe L. is a taxonomically complex genus, several species of which have long been used as vegetables and traditional medicines in East Asia. In order to clarify the taxonomic status of Oenanthe accessions and provide baseline data for the sustainable use of its genetic resources, we examined sequence variations in the inte.. Read More»

Mapping of major quantitative trait loci for economic traits of silkworm cocoon
Authors: Z. Lie, L. Cheng, D. Fang-yin and F. Shou-min
The quantitative trait loci (QTLs) associated with cocoon traits in silkworms were mapped in 44 individuals of a backcross of Dazao females with hybrid F1 males; the hybrid males were from females of inbred C100 strain, which have white cocoons and superior cocoon traits, crossed with males of inbred strain Dazao, which have g..

Additive genetic relationship of longevity with fertility and production traits in Nellore cattle based on bivariate models
Authors: M.H. Van Melis, H.N. Oliveira, J.P. Eler, J.B.S. Ferraz, J. Casellas and L. Varona
Survival or longevity is an economically important trait in beef cattle. The main inconvenience for its inclusion in selection criteria is delayed recording of phenotypic data and the high computational demand for including survival in proportional hazard models. Thus, identification of a longevity-correlated trait that could .. Read More»

Polymorphisms in the LPL gene and their association with growth traits in Jiaxian cattle
Authors: L.S. Gui, Y.M. Huang, J.Y. Hong and L.S. Zan
Previous studies showed that the lipoprotein lipase (LPL) gene was involved in metabolism and transport of lipids, suggesting that the LPL is a potential candidate gene affecting growth traits in animals. The aim of this study was to identify polymorphism in the bovine LPL gene and analyze its possible association with growth .. Read More»
