Its
SNPs at 3'-UTR of the bovine CDIPT gene associated with Qinchuan cattle meat quality traits
Authors: C.Z. Fu H. Wang C.G. Mei J.L. Wang B.J. Jiang X.H Ma H.B. Wang G. Cheng L.S. Zan
As the most ancient member of the wheat gluten family, the Ã?³-gliadin genes are suitable for phylogenetic analysis among wheat and related species. Species in the grass genus Dasypyrum have been widely used for wheat cross breeding. However, the genomic relationships among Dasypyrum species have been little studied. We isolated 22 novel Ã?³-gliadin gene s.. Read More»

Inbreeding depression in single, three way and double-cross hybrids of maize
Authors: F.B.S. Botelho, A.T. Bruzi, I.P. Lima, C.S. Rodrigues and R.T. de C. Botelho
Currently, one of the acclaimed alternatives for increasing maize yield is accomplished through utilization of heterosis in hybrid cultivars. However, upon performing crosses between related pairs, there are losses due to inbreeding depression. Thus, the aim of this study was to estimate inbreeding depression and the contribution of loci in heterozygosity.. Read More»

Genetic diversity among cotton cultivars in two environments in the State of Mato Grosso
Authors: I.G. Santos, P.E. Teodoro, F.C. Farias, F.J.C. Farias, L.P. Carvalho, J.I.S. Rodrigues and C.D. Cruz
Using commercial cultivars to compose crossing blocks in cotton is a promising strategy, because these materials have desirable agronomic and technological characteristics. The objective of this study was to evaluate the genetic diversity among 16 cotton cultivars cultivated in two environments in the State of Mato Grosso, the.. Read More»

Genome-wide association analysis of body conformation traits in Mexican Holstein cattle using a mix of sampled and imputed SNP genotypes
Authors: M.E. Gonz�¡lez, V.M. Gonz�¡lez, M.F. Monta�±o, G.E. Medina,P. Mahadevan, C. Villa and R. Villa
In arid and semi-arid zones, animal health and production are closely correlated with body conformation traits. These selected traits, in turn, allow livestock to adapt unfavorable soil and environmental conditions. The primary objective of this study was to perform a genome-wide association analysis for a set of sampled and i.. Read More»

Genome-wide association study of meat quality traits in chicken
Authors: T. Zhang, Q.C. Fan, J.Y. Wang, G.X. Zhang, Y.P. Gu and Y. Tang
Meat quality traits are very important in the poultry industry. To identify single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and candidate genes affecting meat quality traits, a genome-wide association study was performed using the Illumina chicken 60K SNP beadchip in Jinghai yellow chicken. Four meat quality traits were measured. Two SNPs reached 5% Bonferroni gen.. Read More»

Association between polymorphisms of the CRH and POMC genes with economic traits in Korean cattle (Hanwoo)
Authors: J. Seong and H.S. Kong
The corticotrophin-releasing hormone (CRH) and proopiomelanocortin (POMC) genes are considered to play an important role in the growth and development of mammals. In this study, the bovine CRH and POMC genes were characterized to detect genetic variation at these loci in relation to economic traits in Korean cattle (Hanwoo). Nine single nucleotide polymor..

Polymorphisms of AluI and Hin1I loci of the IGF-1R gene and their genetic effects on growth traits in Bian chickens
Authors: P.F. Wu, D. Wang, C.F. Jin, X.Q. Zhang, H.Q. Wu, L. Zhang, F.X. Ding, K. Z. Xie and G.X. Zhang
Growth traits are important economic traits in broiler chicken production. AluI and Hin1I loci are two restriction sites, which are respectively located in exons 2 and 3 of the IGF-1R gene. These two loci are significantly related to the growth traits in Jinghai Yellow chickens. In this study, a correlation analysis was perfor.. Read More»

Authors: Y.K. Li, Y.F. Huangpu, J.B. Gao, N. Yang, C.Z. Fu, H.B. Wang, G. Cheng and L.S. Zan
Body measurement and meat quality traits play important roles in the evaluation of productivity in cattle; they are influenced by genetic and environmental factors. Recent studies have shown that LYRM1 is a novel gene related to obesity and may influence fat deposition. We screened for new polymorphisms in the bovine LYRM1 gen.. Read More»
