Genetic Indicators of Performance Resilience in Barrel Racing Quarter Horses. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Resilience, defined as the capacity to maintain consistent performance under variable conditions, has emerged as a relevant breeding objective in livestock systems, yet remains largely unexplored in equine populations. The objectives of this study were to (1) derive indicators of resilience from longitudinal barrel racing time (BRT) records in

Characterization and Antifungal Activity of a Hevein-Like Peptide-Containing Extract From <i>Capsicum annuum</i> Leaves Against Phytopathogenic Fungi. [PDF]
This study is aimed at isolating and characterizing antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) from the leaves of Capsicum annuum (L.) cv. Carioquinha and investigating their antifungal activity and mechanism of action against phytopathogenic fungi. An initial extract was obtained from leaves through hydromethanolic extraction followed by partitioning with ...

Phenotypic Definition Influences Genetic Inference and Predictive Ability for Reining Performance in Quarter Horses Using Random Regression Models. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Reining performance is influenced by subjectivity and competition structure, challenging genetic evaluation. This study estimated genetic parameters for reining performance in Brazilian Quarter Horses using random regression models (RRM) and evaluated how alternative phenotypic definitions affect genetic inference and predictive ability.
