Authors: M. Bian, D.K. Sun, D.F. Sun and G.L.Sun
High molecular weight glutenin subunits (HMW-GS) play an essential role in wheat processing quality. In this study, we evaluated the genetic pattern with HMW-GS composition between generations and examined whether agronomic and quality traits were correlated with each other. A wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) cultivar with high protein content and 2 cultivars.. Read More»

Association analysis between carcass weight and meat quality of Bamei pigs
Authors: J.P. Zhou, G.F. Wu, A.Q. Xiang, L. Wang, S.D. Sun, C. Yang and F.F. Xu
A total of 48 crossbred Bamei pig carcasses were divided into three groups (A, 60-69 kg; B, 70-79 kg; and C, 80-90 kg) to investigate the influence of carcass weight on meat quality. The intramuscular fat content of the three groups increased from 2.20% (Group A) to 4.14% (Group C). Group B had higher drip loss (6.83%, P < 0.05) than the other two grou.. Read More»

Evaluation of a modified sampling method for molecular analysis of air microflora
Authors: T. Lech and A. Ziembinska-Buczynska
A serious issue concerning the durability of economically important materials for humans related to cultural heritage is the process of biodeterioration. As a result of this phenomenon, priceless works of art, documents, and old prints have undergone a process of decomposition caused by microorganisms. Therefore, it is important to constantly monitor the .. Read More»

High-resolution melting curve analysis of the ADSL and LPL genes and their correlation with meat quality and blood parameters in chickens
Authors: X.D. Zhang, Q.H. Li, L.F. Lou, J. Liu, X.H. Chen, C.X. Zhang and H.H. Wang
Adenylosuccinate lyase (ADSL) and lipoprotein lipase (LPL) are key enzymes in the metabolism of inosine monophosphate (IMP) and fat mass, which are important factors in meat quality evaluation. In this study, we selected 50 hens from the ISA B-line layers and Guangxi Yellow chickens, slaughtered the chickens at 120 days old, and analyzed polymorphisms in .. Read More»

Stripe rust resistance and dough quality of new wheat - Dasypyrum villosum translocation lines T1DL�1V#3S and T1DS�1V#3L and the location of HMW-GS genes
Authors: W.C. Zhao, X. Gao, J. Dong, Z.J. Zhao, Q.G. Chen, L.G. Chen, Y.G. Shi and X.Y. Li
The transfer of agronomically useful genes from wild wheat species into cultivated wheat is one of the most effective approaches to improvement of wheat varieties. To evaluate the transfer of genes from Dasypyrum villosum into Triticum aestivum, wheat quality and disease resistance was evaluated in two new translocation lines, T1DL•1V#3S and T1DS&bul..

Association between a non-synonymous HSD17B4 single nucleotide polymorphism and meat-quality traits in Berkshire pigs
Authors: J.L. Jo, J.H. Hwang, S.G. Kwon, D.H. Park, T.W. Kim, D.G. Kang, G.E. Yu, I.S. Kim, J. Ha and C.W. Kim
Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) are useful genetic markers that allow correlation of genetic sequences with phenotypic traits. It is shown here that HSD17B4, a bifunctional enzyme mediating dehydrogenation and anhydration during β-oxidation of long-chain fatty acids, contains a non-synonymous SNP (nsSNP) of chr2:12..

Genetic trend estimates of meat quality traits in a male broiler line
Authors: G.B. MourÃ?£o, L.G. Gaya, J.B.S. Ferraz, E.C. Mattos, A.M.M.A. Costa, T. Michelan Filho, O.C. Cunha Neto, A.M. FelÃ?Âcio and J.P. Eler
The present research was conducted to estimate the genetic trends for meat quality traits in a male broiler line. The traits analyzed were initial pH, pH at 6 h after slaughter, final pH, initial range of falling pH, final range of falling pH, lightness, redness, yellowness, weep loss, drip loss, shrink loss, and shear force. ..

We evaluated carcass and meat quality traits of two Chinese native crossbreeds Landrace x Meishan (LM) and Duroc x (Landrace x Meishan) (DLM) and two foreign crossbreeds Duroc x (Landrace x Yorkshire) (DLY) and PIC (an imported five-way crossbreed). One hundred and twenty weaned pigs (half castrated males and half females) were reared and slaughtered at a pr.. Read More»

Polymorphisms in the bone morphogenetic protein 15 gene and their effect on sperm quality traits in Chinese Holstein bulls
Authors: L.P. Sun, Y.P. Song, Q.Z. Du, L.W. Song, Y.Z. Tian, S.L. Zhang,G.H. Hua and L.G. Yang
Bone morphogenetic protein 15 (BMP-15) expression has been detected in the testis, but its roles in this organ has not been well elucidated. We evaluated polymorphisms of the BMP-15 gene by PCR-SSCP and PCR-RFLP in 212 Chinese Holstein bulls, and investigated possible associations with sperm quality traits, including semen vol..
