Genetic Parameter Estimation for Pregnancy Loss and Their Association With Reproductive and Growth Traits in Brahman Cattle Under Extensive Tropical Conditions. [PDF]
ABSTRACT This study estimated genetic parameters for pregnancy loss (PL) in Brahman cattle and evaluated the genetic correlation of PL with growth and reproductive traits using both the pedigree relationship matrix (A) and pedigree plus genomic relationship matrix (H). Data were collected from two herds in Bolivia, focusing on three age groups: heifers,

Divergent litter traits of riparian plant species between humid and drier biomes within the tropics
Riparian forests provide abundant plant litter – mostly in the form of dead leaves (hereafter litter) – for both forest soils and adjacent stream ecosystems, supporting terrestrial and aquatic detritus‐based food webs. Although the fate of litter is predominantly dependent on its chemical and physical traits, there is limited availability of data on ...

An open source plant kinase chemogenomics set
Abstract One hundred twenty‐nine protein kinases, selected to represent the diversity of the rice (Oryza sativa) kinome, were cloned and tested for expression in Escherichia coli. Forty of these rice kinases were purified and screened using differential scanning fluorimetry (DSF) against 627 diverse kinase inhibitors, with a range of structures and ...

Doping genético e eugenesia: diálogos além do esporte
A engenharia genética trouxe possibilidades antes inimagináveis, em que há pouco tempo atrás era somente vista em filmes. Daterapia gênica, visando a uma correção ou cura de uma enfermidade, passa-se a possibilidade do melhoramento genético, atualmente ...
