Successful cryopreservation and regeneration of a partridge colored Hungarian native chicken breed using primordial germ cells

Poultry Science, 2021
: Primordial germ cells (PGCs) are the precursors of germline cells that generate sperm and ova in adults. Thus, they are promising tools for gene editing and genetic preservation, especially in avian species.

Glucocorticoid-induced microRNA-511 protects against TNF by down-regulating TNFR1 [PDF]

, 2015
TNF is a central actor during inflammation and a well-recognized drug target for inflammatory diseases. We found that the mouse strain SPRET/Ei, known for extreme and dominant resistance against TNF-induced shock, displays weak expression of TNF receptor

Backcrossing to increase meiotic stability in triticale

Genetics and Molecular Research, 2015
Triticale (X Triticosecale Wittmack) is an intergeneric hybrid derived from a cross between wheat and rye. As a newly created allopolyploid, the plant shows instabilities during the meiotic process, which may result in the loss of fertility. This genomic instability has hindered the success of triticale-breeding programs.

Identifying hybridizing taxa within the Daphnia longispina species complex: a comparison of genetic methods and phenotypic approaches [PDF]

, 2010
Daphnia galeata Sars, D. longispina O. F. Muller and D. cucullata Sars (Crustacea: Cladocera) are closely related species which often produce interspecific hybrids in natural populations.

GIPA: A High-Throughput Computational Toolkit for Genomic Identity and Parentage Analysis in Modern Crop Breeding

Agronomy
Modern crop breeding requires efficient tools for genetic identity and parentage verification to manage large-scale programs. To address this, we present GIPA (Genomic Identity and Parentage Analysis), a high-performance toolkit designed for these tasks.

Massive gene amplification on a recently formed Drosophila Y chromosome. [PDF]

, 2019
Widespread loss of genes on the Y is considered a hallmark of sex chromosome differentiation. Here we show that the initial stages of Y evolution are driven by massive amplification of distinct classes of genes. The neo-Y chromosome of Drosophila miranda

Diabetes‐induced vascular calcification is associated with low pyrophosphate and its oral supplementation prevents calcification in diabetic mice

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Induction of diabetes in three different mouse strains uniformly resulted in an increase in TNAP activity and a reduction in pyrophosphate (PPi) in the circulation. Inhibition of TNAP restored plasma PPi. Diabetes‐induced calcification in the media layer of the aorta was detected only in the Abcc6−/− strain, which is predisposed to ectopic ...

Molecular confirmation of candidate Hsp70 gene associated with heat tolerance in BC3F2 advanced backcross lines and their phenotypic resemblance with recurrent chilli Kulai

Acta Agriculturae Scandinavica. Section B, Soil and Plant Science, 2020
Domestic production of chilli in Malaysia is insufficient which accounted for 52% self-sufficiency level. Poor performance of local varieties under high temperatures above 42°C is one of the major factors affecting chilli production.

Pseudo-backcrossing design for rapidly pyramiding multiple traits into a preferential rice variety

Rice, 2015
BackgroundPyramiding multiple genes into a desirable genetic background can take years to accomplish. In this paper, a pseudo-backcrossing scheme was designed to shorten the backcrossing cycle needed. PinK3, an aromatic and potentially high-yielding rice
