Effect of recent and ancient inbreeding on production and fertility traits in Canadian Holsteins

BMC Genomics, 2020
Background Phenotypic performances of livestock animals decline with increasing levels of inbreeding, however, the noticeable decline known as inbreeding depression, may not be due only to the total level of inbreeding, but rather could be distinctly ...

Use of Clotrimazole in Finfish Aquaculture: Mechanistic Insights, Limitations, and Future Directions for Antifungal Therapy

Animal Research and One Health, EarlyView.
This review critically evaluates clotrimazole as a potential antifungal for finfish aquaculture, highlighting strong mechanistic and in vitro efficacy against aquatic mycoses alongside major gaps in in vivo evidence, toxicokinetics, residue safety, and environmental risk, outlining priorities for responsible therapeutic development and regulatory ...

Estimate of inbreeding depression on growth and reproductive traits in a Large White pig population

G3: Genes, Genomes, Genetics, 2022
With the broad application of genomic information, SNP-based measures of estimating inbreeding have been widely used in animal breeding, especially based on runs of homozygosity.

Leaf micromorphology and genetic diversity analysis of Iranian Hordeum species using ISSR and SCoT markers

Nordic Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
The genus Hordeum (Poaceae), of the tribe Triticeae, comprises approximately 32 species with substantial potential for barley improvement. Hordeum vulgare is an economically important cereal widely cultivated across diverse environments, from the Arctic to desert and humid regions.

Inbreeding affects the survival of Danish Jersey and Holstein dairy cows

Journal of Dairy Science
: This study evaluated the effects of pedigree and genomic inbreeding on survival in Danish Jersey (JER) and Danish Holstein (HOL) dairy cows. Survival probabilities and hazard risks (HR) were estimated using Kaplan–Meier analysis and Cox proportional ...

Inbreeding depression due to recent and ancient inbreeding in Dutch Holstein–Friesian dairy cattle

Genetics Selection Evolution, 2019
Background Inbreeding decreases animal performance (inbreeding depression), but not all inbreeding is expected to be equally harmful. Recent inbreeding is expected to be more harmful than ancient inbreeding, because selection decreases the frequency of ...

Waves of range dynamics and gene flow characterize the biogeographic history of Litsea elongata, a dominant tree in East Asian evergreen broadleaved forests

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Evergreen broadleaved forests (EBLFs) represent an iconic vegetation type in subtropical montane East Asia, but they are experiencing intensifying anthropogenic pressure and increasing habitat fragmentation. Here, using a dominant and widespread tree species characteristic of East Asian EBLFs, we examine its phylogeographic history and evaluate what it

From wild to tamed: Reimagining novel crops through omics and local plant diversity

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
The global food system faces growing pressure from climate change, biodiversity loss, and rising nutritional demands. Agriculture has increased yields but reduced crop diversity, flavor, and nutritional quality, leaving societies vulnerable and dependent on a narrow set of staple species.

Impact of Environmental Microparticles on Insect Olfaction

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Terrestrial insects underpin key ecosystem services, including pollination, herbivory regulation, decomposition, nutrient cycling, and disease control. These functions depend on chemical communication that guides insects to food, mates, hosts, shelters, and oviposition sites while helping them avoid threats.

Comparison of pedigree-based (FPED) and genomic inbreeding (FROH) in Croatian Holstein cattle using pedigree and SNP data

Mljekarstvo
The two most commonly used approaches for estimating inbreeding and structural relationships in livestock populations are pedigree-based and genomic methods.
