Impact of oestrus synchronization devices on ewes vaginal microbiota and artificial insemination outcome

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2023
IntroductionThe low pregnancy rate by artificial insemination in sheep represents a fundamental challenge for breeding programs. In this species, oestrus synchronization is carried out by manipulating hormonal regimens through the insertion of ...

The significance of cytogenetics for the study of karyotype evolution and taxonomy of water bugs (Heteroptera, Belostomatidae) native to Argentina [PDF]

, 2013
Male meiosis behaviour and heterochromatin characterization of three big water bug species were studied. Belostoma dentatum (Mayr, 1863), B. elongatum Montandon, 1908 and B. gestroi Montandon, 1903 possess 2n = 26 + X1X2Y (male).

An upstream open reading frame regulates expression of the mitochondrial protein Slm35 and mitophagy flux

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
This study reveals how the mitochondrial protein Slm35 is regulated in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The authors identify stress‐responsive DNA elements and two upstream open reading frames (uORFs) in the 5′ untranslated region of SLM35. One uORF restricts translation, and its mutation increases Slm35 protein levels and mitophagy.

Optimum mating designs for exploiting dominance in genomic selection schemes for aquaculture species

Genetics Selection Evolution, 2021
Background In commercial fish, dominance effects could be exploited by predicting production abilities of the offspring that would be generated by different mating pairs and choosing those pairs that maximise the average offspring phenotype. Consequently,

Early evolution of the gular musculature and its innervation in ray‐finned fishes

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Gular muscles are an important but often overlooked component of cranial anatomy in bony fishes. They are located on the ventral surface of the head and are derived from the mandibular and hyoid arches. We present a comprehensive review of the gular musculature and its innervation across early diverging actinopterygian lineages. By integrating

Stability of closed and needle-punctured vials of Porvac® subunit vaccine against classical swine fever subjected to thermal stress

BMC Veterinary Research
Background Classical Swine Fever (CSF) is still one of the most economically important viral diseases of pigs. In endemic countries, the disease is controlled mostly through vaccination; hence, the availability of safe and effective vaccines is of utmost

Ethanol Preference Leads to Alterations in Telomere Length, Mitochondria Copy Number, and Antioxidant Enzyme Activity in Zebrafish Brains

Frontiers in Bioscience-Landmark, 2023
Background: The motivations for and effects of ethanol consumption vary considerably among individuals, and as such, a significant proportion of the population is prone to substance abuse and its negative consequences in the physical, social, and ...
