Genetic origins and climate-induced erosion in economically important Asian walnuts. [PDF]

Conserv Biol
Abstract The global climate is undergoing unprecedented changes, posing significant threats to species persistence. However, the spatiotemporal impacts on genetic diversity remain poorly understood, hindering species conservation and management. Walnuts, generally referred to as Juglans regia and J. sigillata, are economically vital in Asia, but little

Failing the four-gamete test enables exact phasing: the Corners’ Algorithm

Genetics Selection Evolution, 2022
Background Failing the four-gamete test for two polymorphic DNA markers is an indication that two or three rather than four haplotypes segregate in the population.

Multiple Trait Bayesian Analysis of Partitioned Genetic Trends Accounting for Uncertainty in Genetic Parameters. An Example With the Pirenaica and Rubia Gallega Beef Cattle Breeds. [PDF]

J Anim Breed Genet
ABSTRACT Genetic trends are a valuable tool for analysing the efficiency of breeding programs. They are calculated by averaging the predicted breeding values for all individuals born within a specific time period. Moreover, partitioned genetic trends allow dissecting the contributions of several selection paths to overall genetic progress. These trends

Studies of genetic diversity and genome-wide association for vitamin C content in lettuce (Lactuca sativa L.) using high-throughput SNP arrays. [PDF]

Plant Genome
Abstract Lettuce (Lactuca sativa L.) is a source of beneficial compounds though they are generally present in low quantities. We used 40K Axiom and 9K Infinium SNP (single nucleotide polymorphism) arrays to (i) explore the genetic variability in 21 varieties and (ii) carry out genome‐wide association studies (GWAS) of vitamin C content in21 varieties ...

A further look of the genetic origin and singularity of the Torbiscal Iberian pig line

Spanish Journal of Agricultural Research, 2019
Although the Torbiscal line of Iberian pigs has been largely studied, some aspects of its history are not well known. In this paper, we used pedigree-based methods on a complete genealogy of 4,077 entries in order to get a comprehensive analysis of its ...

Identification of mitochondrial markers for genetic traceability of European wild boars and Iberian and Duroc pigs

Animal, 2009
Iberian pigs and wild boars are the source of highly priced meat and dry-cured products. Iberian maternal origin is mandatory for labeled Iberian products, making necessary the authentication of their maternal breed origin.

Short-Term Waterlogging in Citrus Rootstocks

Plants, 2021
Changes in climate are provoking flooding events that cause waterlogging in the fields. Citrus are mainly cultivated in areas with a high susceptibility to climate change.

Identification of genomic regions regulating sex determination in Atlantic salmon using high density SNP data

BMC Genomics, 2019
Background A complete understanding of the genetic basis for sexual determination and differentiation is necessary in order to implement efficient breeding schemes at early stages of development. Atlantic salmon belongs to the family Salmonidae of fishes

Adipose tissue transcriptional response of lipid metabolism genes in growing Iberian pigs fed oleic acid v. carbohydrate enriched diets

Animal, 2016
Diet influences animal body and tissue composition due to direct deposition and to the nutrients effects on metabolism. The influence of specific nutrients on the molecular regulation of lipogenesis is not well characterized and is known to be influenced

Differences in the Loin Tenderness of Iberian Pigs Explained through Dissimilarities in Their Transcriptome Expression Profile

Animals, 2020
Tenderness is one of the most important meat quality traits and it can be measured through shear force with the Warner–Bratzler test. In the current study, we use the RNA-seq technique to analyze the transcriptome of Longissimus dorsi (LD) muscle in two ...
