An Integrated Analysis of Cashmere Fineness lncRNAs in Cashmere Goats [PDF]

Genes, 2019
Animal growth and development are regulated by long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs). However, the functions of lncRNAs in regulating cashmere fineness are poorly understood. To identify the key lncRNAs that are related to cashmere fineness in skin, we have collected skin samples of Liaoning cashmere goats (LCG) and Inner Mongolia cashmere goats (MCG) in the ...

Melatonin Regulates the Periodic Growth of Cashmere by Upregulating the Expression of Wnt10b and β-catenin in Inner Mongolia Cashmere Goats

Frontiers in Genetics, 2021
Secondary hair follicle growth in cashmere goats has seasonal cycle changes, and melatonin (MT) has a regulatory effect on the cashmere growth cycle. In this study, the growth length of cashmere was measured by implanting MT in live cashmere goats.

Genetic Signatures of Selection for Cashmere Traits in Chinese Goats

Animals, 2020
Inner Mongolia and Liaoning cashmere goats in China are well-known for their cashmere quality and yield. Thus, they are great models for identifying genomic regions associated with cashmere traits.

Effect of melatonin administration to lactating cashmere goats on milk production of dams and on hair follicle development in their offspring

Animal, 2020
Melatonin treatment in adult cashmere goats can increase cashmere yield and improve cashmere fibre quality by inducing cashmere growth during cashmere non-growth period, of which time cashmere goats are in the mid and late stages of lactation.

Short communication: Melatonin implantation during the non-growing period of cashmere increases the cashmere yield of female Inner Mongolian cashmere goats by increasing fiber length and density

Spanish Journal of Agricultural Research, 2018
This study aimed to evaluate if melatonin implantation at the end of April and June was able to increase cashmere production in female Inner Mongolian cashmere goats and to search for contributing factors accounting for the melatonin increasing in ...

The effects of Selenohomolanthionine supplementation on the rumen eukaryotic diversity of Shaanbei white cashmere wether goats

Scientific Reports, 2023
Selenium (Se) is an important microelement for animal health. However, the knowledge about the effects of Se supplementation on rumen eukaryotic community remains less explored. In this study, the ruminal eukaryotic diversity in three months old Shaanbei

Screening of Deletion Variants within the Goat PRDM6 Gene and Its Effects on Growth Traits

Animals, 2020
By genome-wide association studies, the PRDM6 gene has been shown to affect multiple, apparently unrelated inherited traits, including bone density and body mass index. Therefore, it is considered a potentially pleiotropic gene.

Regulation of cashmere fineness traits by noncoding RNA in Jiangnan cashmere goats

BMC Genomics, 2023
Abstract Background Cashmere has long been used as the raw material for wool textiles. The diameter of the cashmere fibre determines its quality and economic value. However, the regulatory role of noncoding RNAs (ncRNAs) in cashmere fineness remains unclear, especially regarding the interaction between ncRNAs and coding ...
