Increasing genomic prediction accuracy for unphenotyped full-sib families by modeling additive and dominance effects with large datasets in white spruce

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2023
IntroductionGenomic selection is becoming a standard technique in plant breeding and is now being introduced into forest tree breeding. Despite promising results to predict the genetic merit of superior material based on their additive breeding values ...

Genomic selection in tree breeding [PDF]

Сибирский лесной журнал, 2020
The literature review concerning genomic selection in forest tree breeding is given. Genomic selection is based on relationships between phenotypic traits and genetic markers (single nucleotide polymorphism, SNP).

Reconstructing enzyme evolution by protein engineering

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Natural enzyme evolution can be retraced by protein engineering methods such as directed evolution, rational design, and ancestral sequence reconstruction. These approaches reveal how enzymes emerged from ligand‐binding scaffolds, developed varying substrate preferences, formed oligomeric complexes, adapted to environmental changes, and evolved novel ...

Sodium exclusion as a key trait for maize adaptation to salinity: Relationship with photosynthetic efficiency and membrane integrity

Notulae Botanicae Horti Agrobotanici Cluj-Napoca
Maize is widely used for human consumption but its cultivation is hampered by salinity. Photosynthetic activity and hence, growth are adversely affected by salt stress due to salt accumulation in the plant tissues.

Microbiome‐blood–brain barrier interactions in aging — mechanisms and therapeutic potential

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Aging reshapes the gut microbiome (↓SCFA‐producing commensals; ↑pro‐inflammatory outputs), shifting circulating metabolites (↓SCFAs; ↑LPS, ↑TMAO, ↑PAA) that act at the BBB to increase nonspecific transcytosis, alter transport, and promote astrocyte reactivity, heightening brain vulnerability.

Quantitative trait loci for growth trajectories in Populus

Genetical Research, 2003
Growth trajectories are a biological process important to plant and animal breeding, and to evolutionary genetic studies. In this article, we report the detection of quantitative trait loci (QTLs) responsible for growth trajectories in poplars that are used as a model system for the study of forest biology.

Structure‐forward targeting of claudins with synthetic binders

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Claudins form the paracellular barriers between epithelial and endothelial tissues at tight junctions and are targets for molecular binders with the goal of modulating barrier permeability. Claudin‐binding molecules are relevant in drug delivery or in altering claudin interactions with disease‐causing proteins.

Single nucleotide polymorphisms in the CDH18 gene affect growth traits in Hu sheep

Animal Research and One Health
Growth traits are critical economic traits in sheep. Genetic polymorphism has a great influence on the improvement of sheep traits. The aim of this study was to analyze the effect of cadherin 18 (CDH18) gene polymorphisms on growth traits in Hu sheep ...

Meta-analysis of substitution value of maize with cassava (Manihot esculenta Cratnz) on growth performance of broiler chickens

Frontiers in Veterinary Science, 2022
There are variable results on the effect of cassava on the performance characteristics of broiler chickens. As a result, this meta-analysis was performed to determine the effect of cassava on feed intake, feed conversion ratio (FCR), and average daily ...
