Genotyping of SNPs associated with meat tenderness: comparison of two PCR-based methods
Authors: L.E. L�³pez-Rojas, L. Pati�±o-Cadavid, A. L�³pez-Herrera and J.J. Echeverri-Zuluaga
Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) carried in calpain (CAPN1), calpastatin (CAST), and leptin (LEP) genes are associated with meat tenderness. Due to the economic importance of this meat quality attribute, the development of fast, reliable, and affordable methods to identify bovine carriers of favorable alleles is of great.. Read More»

Characterization of a new wheat-Aegilops biuncialis addition line conferring quality-associated HMW glutenin subunits
Authors: J.P. Zhou, C.H. Yao, E.N. Yang, M.Q. Yin, C. Liu1 and Z.L. Ren1,
In this study, a new disomic addition line, 12-5-2, with 44 chromosomes that was derived from BC3F2 descendants of the hybridization between Triticum aestivum cv. CN19 and Aegilops biuncialis was created and reported. 12-5-2 was immune to both powdery mildew and stripe rust and has stable fertility. Fluorescence in situ hybrid.. Read More»

Clinical characteristics of men with non-mosaic Klinefelter syndrome in northeastern China: implications for genetic counseling
Authors: M. Zhang, H.-T. Fan, H.-S. Zheng, Q.-S. Zhang, S.-Q. Feng and R.-W. Li
Klinefelter syndrome (KS) is the most common genetic cause of male infertility. Widespread development in assisted reproductive technology has provided non-mosaic KS patients with the opportunity of having biological children. Testosterone replacement therapy and micro-dissection testicular sperm extraction are effective sperm retrieval techniques for KS .. Read More»

Effect of leptin gene polymorphisms on growth, slaughter and meat quality traits of grazing Brangus steers
Authors: P.M. Corva G.V. Fern�¡ndez Macedo L.A. Soria J. Papaleo Mazzucco M. Motter E.L. Villarreal A. Schor C.A. Mezzadra L.M. Melucci M.C. Miquel
Leptin is a hormone that affects the regulation of feed intake, energy balance and body composition in mammals. Several polymorphisms in the bovine leptin gene have been associated with phenotypic variance of these traits. We evaluated two known single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the leptin gene of 253 grazing Brangus s.. Read More»

Development of cassava periclinal chimera may boost production
Authors: N. Bomfim and N.M.A. Nassar
Plant periclinal chimeras are genotypicmosaics arranged concentrically. Trials to produce them to combine different species have been done, but pratical results have not been achieved. We report for the second time the development of a very productive interspecific periclinal chimera in cassava. It has very large edible roots .. Read More»

Genetic divergence for high-molecular weight glutenin subunits (HMW-GS) in indigenous landraces and commercial cultivars of bread wheat of Pakistan
Authors: F. Yasmeen, H. Khurshid and A. Ghafoor
Wheat flour quality is an important consideration in the breeding and development of new cultivars. A strong association between high-molecular weight glutenin subunits (HMW-GS) and bread making quality has resulted in the widespread utilization of HMW-GS in wheat breeding. In this study, we analyzed 242 lines of wheat, including landraces from the provin.. Read More»

Evaluation of genetic dissimilarity in a segregating wine grape population
Authors: A.P. Viana, S. Riaz and M.A. Walker
This study examined the genetic diversity present in a population obtained by crossing two very distinctive varieties of wine grapes (142 progeny from a Riesling x Cabernet Sauvignon cross, including both parents, created at the University of California). The following list of morphological characters were evaluated and found .. Read More»

Polymorphisms of the Osteocrin gene and its association with meat quality traits in Qinchuan cattle
Authors: Y.F. Huangfu, L.S. Zan, C. Adoligbe, H.B. Wang, H. Wang and J.B. Gao
Here, we detected 2 SNPs, A85C and T335C, that were located on the 3rd exon and the 3 untranslated regions of the bovine Osteocrin gene, respectively, using 413 Qinchuan cattle DNA samples. PCR-SSCP and DNA sequencing methods were specifically used. Three genotypes (AA, AC, and CC) were found at A85C; yet, only 2 genotypes (TC and CC) were found at T335C... Read More»

Identification of single nucleotide polymorphisms of the signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 gene (STAT3) associated with body measurement and carcass quality traits in beef cattle
Authors: N. Song, L.S. Gui, H.C. Xu, S. Wu and L.S. Zan
Previous studies have shown that the signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 gene (STAT3) is involved in lipid storage and energy metabolism, suggesting that STAT3 is a potential candidate gene that affects body measurement and carcass quality traits in animals. Therefore, the aim of this study was to identify polymorphisms in bovine STAT3 and .. Read More»
