Abstract:
... BACKGROUND: The mode of inheritance of horn status in sheep is far more complex than a superficial analysis might suggest. Observations, which were mostly based on crossbreeding experiments, indicated that the allele that results in horns is dominant in males and recessive in females, and some authors even speculated about the involvement of more than two alleles. However, all recent genome-wide a ...

Abstract:
... Amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) analysis was used in combination with bulked segregant analysis (BSA) to identify molecular markers linked to two cowpea (Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walp.) genes conferring resistance to Striga gesnerioides race 1. After AFLP analysis of an F2 population derived from a cross between the resistant cultivar Gorom and the susceptible cultivar Tvx 3236, seven ...

Abstract:
... The Cartesian sampled three-dimensional HNCO experiment is inherently limited in time resolution and sensitivity for the real time measurement of protein hydrogen exchange. This is largely overcome by use of the radial HNCO experiment that employs the use of optimized sampling angles. The significant practical limitation presented by use of three-dimensional data is the large data storage and proc ...

Abstract:
... Acoustic scattering layers (SL) at various depths are common phenomena in most oceans, but the organisms that make up these layers vary and so does their density, and hence the backscattered energy. During two crossings of the deep Fram Strait between the shelves at Svalbard and Northeast Greenland at latitudes 77°N and 79°N, we registered epipelagic and mesopelagic SL across the entire Fram Strai ...

Abstract:
... Cyclin-dependent kinase 5 regulates numerous neuronal functions with its activator, p35. Under neurotoxic conditions, p35 undergoes proteolytic cleavage to liberate p25, which has been implicated in various neurodegenerative diseases. Here, we show that p25 is generated following neuronal activity under physiological conditions in a GluN2B- and CaMKIIα-dependent manner. Moreover, we developed a kn ...

Abstract:
... In the last three years, the strawberry breeding program at the University of Florida (UF) has sought to implement genomics-assisted breeding. Continuing a long history of cultivar releases for subtropical and Mediterranean climates, development of new cultivars with improved flavor, fruit quality, early yield and disease resistance is being accomplished by combining traditional field breeding wit ...

Abstract:
... A joint olive breeding program (JOBP) which includes crosses carried out from 1991 to 2006 is in progress in Córdoba (Spain). The initial protocol of forcing growth to shorten the Juvenile Phase (JP) has been improved. We have also made advances in the establishment of early and simplified selection criteria for earliness of bearing, oil yield, olive oil composition and tree architecture. Three ph ...

Abstract:
... The olive originated in the Mediterranean region, and is most extensively cultivated oleiferous tree species in the world due to its high economic value. The olive has been introduced to China for more than 50years, and some cultivars have showed good ecological suitability. The plantation of olive in China is increasing rapidly. However, many olive trees during the fruiting age showed the low fru ...

Common to all types of dog is the irresponsible way in which they can be produced, purchased and owned, and the considerable welfare problems that may arise as a direct consequence of these actions. In pedigree and purebre ...

Abstract:
... Previous studies showed that the intermediate level of resistance in bread wheat line 'VPM1' to pathotype Ha12 of the cereal cyst nematode could be conferred by an Aegilops ventricosa-derived gene, CreX, in chromosome arm 2AS, which also carries the rust resistance genes Yr17, Lr37 and Sr38. Near isogenic lines (NILs) differing for the presence and absence of the Ae. ventricosa-derived linked gene ...

Abstract:
... Aflatoxins, produced by the fungus Aspergillus flavus, occur naturally in maize. Contamination of maize grain with aflatoxin is a major food and feed safety problem and greatly reduces the value of the grain. Plant resistance is generally considered a highly desirable approach to reduction or elimination of aflatoxin in maize grain. In this investigation, a diallel cross was produced by crossing 1 ...

Ears were artificially inoculated with conidia and in a diallel analysis of the aflatoxin B1 data, highly significant general combining ability effects were found but the specific combining ability effects were nonsignificant. These results sug ...

To allow their identification, the crosses were performed using recessive dihomozygotes (variety Alexandria) as a maternal form and dominant dihomozygotes as a paternal form. Generation of parthenogenet ...
