Assessment of the genetic structure of Central European cattle breeds based on functional gene polymorphism

Global Ecology and Conservation, 2019
As many European cattle breeds are considered to be threatened with extinction, and existing genetic variability is increasingly at risk of being irretrievably lost, its assessment is crucial. The aim of the study was to assess the genetic variability of

Generation of Sesame Mutant Population by Mutagenesis and Identification of High Oleate Mutants by GC Analysis

Plants, 2023
Sesame is one of the important oilseed crops in the world. Natural genetic variation exists in the sesame germplasm collection. Mining and utilizing the genetic allele variation from the germplasm collection is an important approach for seed quality ...

The value of avian genomics to the conservation of wildlife [PDF]

, 2009
Background: Genomic studies in non-domestic avian models, such as the California condor and white-throated sparrow, can lead to more comprehensive conservation plans and provide clues for understanding mechanisms affecting genetic variation, adaptation ...

Genetic Selection and Conservation of Genetic Diversity* [PDF]

Reproduction in Domestic Animals, 2012
ContentsFor 100s of years, livestock producers have employed various types of selection to alter livestock populations. Current selection strategies are little different, except our technologies for selection have become more powerful. Genetic resources at the breed level have been in and out of favour over time.

Relationship between porcine miR-20a and its putative target low-density lipoprotein receptor based on dual luciferase reporter gene assays [PDF]

Asian-Australasian Journal of Animal Sciences, 2019
Objective Mutations in low-density lipoprotein receptor (LDLR), which encodes a critical protein for cholesterol homeostasis and lipid metabolism in mammals, are involved in cardiometabolic diseases, such as familial hypercholesterolemia in pigs. Whereas

Molecular Characterizations of Kenyan Brachiaria Grass Ecotypes with Microsatellite (SSR) Markers

Agronomy, 2017
Brachiaria grass is an emerging forage option for livestock production in Kenya. Kenya lies within the center of diversity for Brachiaria species, thus a high genetic variation in natural populations of Brachiaria is expected. Overgrazing and clearing of
