Spatial inference of ancestor locations suggests northern refugia for canopy‐forming kelps in the Pacific Northwest

open access: yesNew Phytologist, EarlyView.
Population genetic structure in the Pacific Northwest for (a–c) Nereocystis and (d–f) Macrocystis. Summary Pockets of the formerly glaciated Pacific coastline of North America likely remained ice‐free throughout the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM). These areas may have served as refugia for terrestrial species, but less is known about their role in the ...

Software Selegen-REML/BLUP: a useful tool for plant breeding

open access: yesCrop Breeding and Applied Biotechnology, 2016
The software Selegen-REML/BLUP uses mixed models, and was developed to optimize the routine of plant breeding programs. It addresses the following plants categories: allogamous, automagous, of mixed mating system, and of clonal propagation.

Genomic investigation of milk production in Italian buffalo

open access: yesItalian Journal of Animal Science, 2021
The aim of this study was to test the feasibility of genomic selection in the Italian Mediterranean water buffalo, which is farmed mainly in the south Italy for milk, and mozzarella, production. A total of 498 animals were genotyped at 49,164 loci.

The genetic architecture of leaf vein density and its importance for photosynthesis in maize

open access: yesNew Phytologist, EarlyView.
Vein types in maize leaves. Summary Leaf venation density has significantly increased during plant evolution. Higher densities are observed in angiosperms compared with early land plants, and among angiosperms, recently diverged C4 species have the highest values.

ハチ ルイ ノ イクシュ ヘノ BLUP ホウ ニヨル センバツ ノ ドウニュウ

open access: yes, 2013
BLUP法による予測育種価に基づく選抜(BLUP選抜)は、家畜育種において広く利用され、経済形質の遺伝的改良に目覚ましい成果を上げてきた。しかしながら、ハチ類においては遺伝ならびに繁殖上の2つの特性、すなわち半倍数性の性決定様式および一妻多夫制の繁殖様式によって、BLUP選抜の適用が他の家畜に比べて立ち遅れている。本研究では、ハチ類に固有の遺伝ならびに繁殖上の特性を考慮に入れて、ハチ類の育種におけるBLUP法の計算アルゴリズムを開発した。さらに、BLUP選抜のハチ類の育種への適用例を ...

Mapping and Functional Characterization of Homologous Genes AhSUCA06 and AhSUCA16 Underlying Sucrose, Oil and Protein Contents in Peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.)

open access: yesPlant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Cultivated peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.) is an important oilseed and cash crop, and seed sucrose content (SSC), seed oil content (SOC) and seed protein content (SPC) are key determinants of seed flavour, texture, and overall quality. Identifying quantitative trait loci (QTLs) and candidate genes associated with SSC, SOC and SPC is therefore of ...
