Genetic structure of sugar kelp in the St. Lawrence Estuary and Gulf (Québec, Canada)

Journal of Phycology, EarlyView.
Abstract The sugar kelp, Saccharina latissima, is cultivated at low scale in Quebec, Canada, and current practice involves seeding meiospores or gametophyte stocks onto spools carrying twine and transferring these to a seaweed farm site. As the stocks can originate from locations spanning several hundreds of kilometers from the farm sites, such ...

Genomic dissection of inbreeding depression: a gate to new opportunities

Revista Brasileira de Zootecnia
Inbreeding depression, reduction in performance of quantitative traits, including reproduction and survival, caused by inbreeding, is a well-known phenomenon observed in almost all experimental, domesticated, and natural populations.

Inbreeding depression in the Lizard canary breed estimated by pedigree analysis

Czech Journal of Animal Science, 2016
The influence of inbreeding depression on phenotypic traits of the Lizard canary from an Italian breeder was evaluated. The following traits were studied: birds' life span, number of surviving offspring, and morphological traits (type of plumage ...

The causes and consequences of inbreeding avoidance and tolerance in cooperatively breeding vertebrates [PDF]

, 2017
Cooperative breeders provide a particularly interesting scenario for studying inbreeding. Such populations are viscous due to delayed dispersal and short dispersal distances, resulting in the build-up of relatives in the local population. This leads to a

Using herbarium collections to study genetic responses to global change

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Summary Earth's c. 406 million herbarium specimens represent a largely untapped resource of genetic data that could transform our understanding of global plant populations. Advances in DNA sequencing have made the extraction of genetic data from these preserved specimens increasingly feasible, enabling new insights into plant biodiversity and ...

Homozygosity and risk of childhood death due to invasive bacterial disease. [PDF]

, 2009
BACKGROUND: Genetic heterozygosity is increasingly being shown to be a key predictor of fitness in natural populations, both through inbreeding depression, inbred individuals having low heterozygosity, and also through chance linkage between a marker and

Potential inbreeding in a small population of a mass flowering species, Xanthorrhoea johnsonii (Xanthorrhoaceae): is your mother my father? [PDF]

, 2012
Xanthorrhoea johnsonii is a long lived slow growing perennial understorey species, that produces a large quantity of passively dispersed seed every 3-5 years. Reproductive maturity is not reached until 20-30 years of age.

Beyond Starch: Towards a Scalable Potato Platform for Molecular Farming

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Thirty‐five years after the first recombinant protein was produced in potato and 30 years after clinical trials of edible vaccines from its tubers, the crop is being reconsidered as a molecular farming chassis. Potatoes can accumulate recombinant proteins in tubers, enabling long‐term storage and simplified logistics.

Removing exogenous information using pedigree data

, 2011
Management of certain populations requires the preservation of its pure genetic background. When, for different reasons, undesired alleles are introduced, the original genetic conformation must be recovered.

Ancestral Inbreeding Only Minimally Affects Inbreeding Depression in Mammalian Populations [PDF]

Journal of Heredity, 1997
Inbreeding depression can be reduced, or purged, by selection against deleterious alleles. This prediction is the basis of the recommendation that captive wildlife populations suffering from inbreeding depression be intentionally bred from healthy inbred animals. Yet data on the effectiveness of purging inbreeding depression are few.
