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

SNP discovery and association study for growth, fatness and meat quality traits in Iberian crossbred pigs

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2022
Iberian pigs and its crosses are produced to obtain high-quality meat products. The objective of this work was to evaluate a wide panel of DNA markers, selected by biological and functional criteria, for association with traits related to muscle growth ...

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 haplotype regression approach for genetic evaluation using sequences from the 1000 bull genomes Project

open access: yesSpanish Journal of Agricultural Research, 2018
Haplotypes from sequencing data may improve the prediction accuracy in genomic evaluations as haplotypes are in stronger linkage disequilibrium with quantitative trait loci than markers from SNP chips.
