The Interaction of Genotype and Environment Determines Variation in the Maize Kernel Ionome

G3: Genes, Genomes, Genetics, 2016
Plants obtain soil-resident elements that support growth and metabolism from the water-flow facilitated by transpiration and active transport processes.

Identification of quantitative trait loci influencing annual height- and diameter-increment growth in loblolly pine (Pinus taeda L.)

, 1999
Quantitative trait loci (QTLs) for annual height- and diameter-increment growth were estimated in each of two three-generation loblolly pine pedigrees.

Mapping carcass and meat quality QTL on Sus Scrofa chromosome 2 in commercial finishing pigs [PDF]

, 2009
Quantitative trait loci (QTL) affecting carcass and meat quality located on SSC2 were identified using variance component methods. A large number of traits involved in meat and carcass quality was detected in a commercial crossbred population: 1855 pigs ...

Born this way: Does variation in perinatal limb bone morphology predict adult locomotor repertoire in primates?

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Primates show a high degree of locomotor diversity that engenders similar variance in limb bone cross‐sectional geometry and bending strength: leaping primates have stronger hindlimb bones whereas suspensory species have stronger forelimb bones.

Human evolution and the obstetrical dilemma: The pelvic floor hypothesis

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Human childbirth is mechanically difficult because a large‐headed, broad‐shouldered fetus must pass through a comparatively narrow, twisted bony birth canal. Traditional explanations of this “obstetrical dilemma” emphasize the role of bipedal locomotion in inhibiting the evolution of a wider, more spacious pelvis.

Estimating genomic breeding values and detecting QTL using univariate and bivariate models [PDF]

, 2011
Background Genomic selection is particularly beneficial for difficult or expensive to measure traits. Since multi-trait selection is an important tool to deal with such cases, an important question is what the added value is of multi-trait genomic ...

Heat Stress and Gut Microbiome Dynamics in Poultry: Interplay, Consequences, and Mitigation Strategies

Animal Research and One Health, EarlyView.
Heat stress disrupts gut microbial balance in poultry, impairing nutrient absorption and immunity. This review outlines the interplay between thermal stress and microbiome dynamics and discusses integrative mitigation strategies, probiotics, phytogenics, cooling systems, and genetic adaptation to enhance poultry resilience.

PCSK6 is associated with handedness in individuals with dyslexia [PDF]

, 2010
Approximately 90% of humans are right-handed. Handedness is a heritable trait, yet the genetic basis is not well understood. Here we report a genome-wide association study for a quantitative measure of relative hand skill in individuals with dyslexia ...

Genomic Structural Variations Provide Insights Into Litter Size and Teat Number Traits in Hu Sheep

Animal Research and One Health, EarlyView.
Here, we conducted whole genome sequencing on 300 Hu sheep with an average depth of 16.51X. Two candidate genes associated with litter size and teat number traits were identified, namely MAST2 and AFDN. ABSTRACT Litter size and the teat number are important economic indicators in sheep production.

Genetic and population analyses implicate thyroid‐related regulation of RNF144B in chondrocalcinosis

Arthritis &Rheumatology, Accepted Article.
Objectives Chondrocalcinosis, characterized by calcium crystal deposition within articular cartilage, affects 5–15% of the general population and has recently been identified as an osteoarthritis risk factor. However, Its biological pathways remain unclear.
