Introgression of a major QTL from an inferior into a superior population using genomic selection [PDF]

Genetics Selection Evolution, 2009
Background Selection schemes aiming at introgressing genetic material from a donor into a recipient line may be performed by backcross-breeding programs combined with selection to preserve the favourable characteristics of the donor population.

Polymorphisms associated with resistance to infectious diseases in different breeds of pigs of the Belgorod Region of Russia [PDF]

E3S Web of Conferences, 2023
Using the PCR-RFLP method, we genotyped pigs for the genes GBP1 (mutation c. [10A>G; 11A>G]), FUT1 (mutation G307A) and MUC4(A243G) associated with resistance to infectious diseases.

Genome-wide association study reveals the genetic basis of brace root angle and diameter in maize

Frontiers in Genetics, 2022
Brace roots are the main organ to support the above-ground part of maize plant. It involves in plant growth and development by water absorption and lodging resistance. The bracing root angle (BRA) and diameter (BRD) are important components of brace root

Genome-wide association study presents insights into the genetic architecture of drought tolerance in maize seedlings under field water-deficit conditions

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2023
IntroductionDrought stress is one of the most serious abiotic stresses leading to crop yield reduction. Due to the wide range of planting areas, the production of maize is particularly affected by global drought stress.

Genome-Wide Association Study Dissects the Genetic Architecture of Maize Husk Tightness

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2020
The husk is a leafy outer tissue that encloses a maize ear. Previously, we identified the optimum husk structure by measuring the husk length, husk layer number, husk thickness and husk width.

The Mode of Action of Cyclic Monoterpenes (−)-Limonene and (+)-α-Pinene on Bacterial Cells

Biomolecules, 2021
A broad spectrum of volatile organic compounds’ (VOCs’) biological activities has attracted significant scientific interest, but their mechanisms of action remain little understood. The mechanism of action of two VOCs—the cyclic monoterpenes (−)-limonene

Nanopore RNA Sequencing Revealed Long Non-Coding and LTR Retrotransposon-Related RNAs Expressed at Early Stages of Triticale SEED Development

Plants, 2020
The intergenic space of plant genomes encodes many functionally important yet unexplored RNAs. The genomic loci encoding these RNAs are often considered “junk”, DNA as they are frequently associated with repeat-rich regions of the genome.
