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

open access: yesConserv 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

open access: yesGenetics 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.

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

open access: yesSpanish 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 genomic regions regulating sex determination in Atlantic salmon using high density SNP data

open access: yesBMC 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

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

open access: yesAnimal, 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

open access: yesPlants, 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.

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

open access: yesAnimal, 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

Comparison of Four Systems to Test the Tolerance of ‘Fortune’ Mandarin Tissue Cultured Plants to Alternaria alternata

open access: yesPlants, 2021
Alternaria brown spot is a severe disease that affects leaves and fruits on susceptible mandarin and mandarin-like cultivars, and is produced by Alternaria alternata. Consequently, there is an urge to obtain new cultivars resistant to A.

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

open access: yesAnimals, 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 ...

A comparison of marker-based estimators of inbreeding and inbreeding depression

open access: yesGenetics Selection Evolution, 2022
Background The availability of genome-wide marker data allows estimation of inbreeding coefficients (F, the probability of identity-by-descent, IBD) and, in turn, estimation of the rate of inbreeding depression (ΔID).
