The integration of WGCNA and ceRNA analysis provides insights into bovine intramuscular fat deposition

BMC Genomics
Background Intramuscular fat (IMF) content is a crucial determinant of beef quality and a key indicator in cattle breeding and production. However, the molecular regulatory mechanisms governing IMF deposition remain poorly understood.

Molecular Marker Techniques and Genotypic Characterization Approaches in Plant Breeding

Turkish Journal of Agriculture: Food Science and Technology
Plant breeding, often known as the science of plant development, is the study and practice of modifying a plant’s genetic makeup through a variety of breeding techniques to produce higher-quality, more prolific, and more resistant to harsh environmental ...

Future breeding for organic and low-input agriculture: integrating values and modern breeding tools for improving robustness [PDF]

, 2010
Organic production and also the attention for plant breeding for organic agriculture is still increasing in Europe. The question often raised is how much does plant breeding for the organic sector differ from modern plant breeding and does a ban on GMO ...

Discriminant analysis of principal components and pedigree assessment of genetic diversity and population structure in a tetraploid potato panel using SNPs [PDF]

, 2018
The reported narrow genetic base of cultivated potato (Solanum tuberosum) can be expanded by the introgression of many related species with large genetic diversity.

Inhibiting stearoyl‐CoA desaturase suppresses bone metastatic prostate cancer by modulating cellular stress, mTOR signaling, and DNA damage response

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Bone metastasis in prostate cancer (PCa) patients is a clinical hurdle due to the poor understanding of the supportive bone microenvironment. Here, we identify stearoyl‐CoA desaturase (SCD) as a tumor‐promoting enzyme and potential therapeutic target in bone metastatic PCa.

A telomere-to-telomere genome of wild soybean with resistance to soybean cyst nematode X12

Scientific Data
The soybean cyst nematode (SCN) is one of the most destructive pests affecting soybean production worldwide. Wild soybean (Glycine soja) germplasm offers valuable genetic resources for developing SCN-resistant cultivars.

Identifying molecular pathways and candidate genes associated with knob traits by transcriptome analysis in the goose (Anser cygnoides)

Scientific Reports, 2021
Anser cygnoides has a spherical crest on the beak roof, which is described as knob. However, the mechanisms affecting knob morphology are unclear. Here, we investigated the phenotypic characteristics and molecular basis of knob-size differences in ...

Modern approaches for breeding high quality apples with durable resistance to scab, powdery mildew and fire blight [PDF]

, 2008
New methods to allow for more precise selection of tree and fruit characters in breeding programmes were developed in recent years. Marker-assisted selection (MAS) is common practice in the ACW apple breeding programme at Wädenswil.

Sexual and geographic dimorphism in northern rockhopper penguins breeding in the South Atlantic Ocean [PDF]

, 2020
The Endangered northern rockhopper penguin Eudyptes moseleyi, like all penguins, is monomorphic, making sex determination of individuals in the field challenging.

The (Glg)ABCs of cyanobacteria: modelling of glycogen synthesis and functional divergence of glycogen synthases in Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
We reconstituted Synechocystis glycogen synthesis in vitro from purified enzymes and showed that two GlgA isoenzymes produce glycogen with different architectures: GlgA1 yields denser, highly branched glycogen, whereas GlgA2 synthesizes longer, less‐branched chains.
