Authors: Z.Y. Chen, W.W. Zhang, J.K. Gan, L.N. Kong, X.Q. Zhang,D.X. Zhang and Q.B. Luo
Studying thermotolerance is important for the prevention of thermostress in chickens. This study aimed to analyze the effect of mutations in the heat shock protein 70 (HSP70) gene on chicken thermotolerance. The C.-69A>G SNP in the 5'-flanking region of the HSP70 gene was genotyped in Lingshan and White Recessive Rock (WRR).. Read More»

Microsatellite DNA markers and their correlation with growth traits in mandarin fish (Siniperca chuatsi)
Authors: L.F. Sun, J. Li, X.F. Liang, T.L. Yi, L. Fang, J. Sun, Y.H. He, X.N. Luo, Y.Q. Dou and M. Yang
The mandarin fish (Siniperca chuatsi) is a traditionally cultured freshwater fish with high commercial value in China. To facilitate marker-assisted selection in genetic improvement of this species, 120 microsatellite markers from the literature were characterized in the 25 largest and 25 smallest individuals. Eighteen polymorphic loci were then used to g.. Read More»

Assessment of genetic diversity of cucumber cultivars in China based on simple sequence repeats and fruit traits
Authors: Y.T. Yang, Y. Liu, F. Qi, L.L. Xu, X.Z. Li, L.J. Cong, X. Guo, S.X. Chen and Y.L. Fang
The cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.) is an important crop grown worldwide. In this study, the genetic diversity of 42 cucumber cultivars in China was analyzed using 51 pairs of simple sequence repeat (SSR) primers. These primers identified 129 polymorphic loci, 95.6% of which were polymorphic. The mean effective number of alleles, mean Nei’s gene diver.. Read More»

Heritability estimates for carcass traits of cattle: a review
Authors: Angel RÃ?Âos Utrera and Lloyd Dale Van Vleck
We present estimates of heritability for carcass traits of cattle published in the scientific literature. Seventy-two papers published from 1962 to 2004, which reported estimates of heritability for carcass traits, were reviewed. The unweighted means of estimates of heritability for 14 carcass traits by slaughter end point (ag.. Read More»
