A consensus linkage map for molecular markers and Quantitative Trait Loci associated with economically important traits in melon (Cucumis melo L.)
(BMC Plant Biology, 2011-07-28)Background: A number of molecular marker linkage maps have been developed for melon (Cucumis melo L.) over the last two decades. However, these maps were constructed using different marker sets, thus, ... -
Almond population genomics and non-additive GWAS reveal new insights into almond dissemination history and candidate genes for nut traits and blooming time
(Horticulture Research, 2023-09-25)Domestication drastically changed crop genomes, fixing alleles of interest and creating different genetic populations. Genome-wide association studies (GWASs) are a powerful tool to detect these alleles ... -
An association analysis between a polymorphism in the SEC24A gene and lipid traits recorded in Duroc pigs
(Italian Journal of Animal Science, 2021-10-05)By regulating the expression of low-density lipoprotein receptors (LDLR), the SEC24A protein modulates the clearance of plasma cholesterol in mice. The whole-genome sequencing of five Duroc boars that ... -
Analysis of expressed sequence tags generated from full-length enriched cDNA libraries of melon
(BMC Genomics, 2011-05-20)Background: Melon (Cucumis melo), an economically important vegetable crop, belongs to the Cucurbitaceae family which includes several other important crops such as watermelon, cucumber, and pumpkin. ... -
Analysis of porcine MUC4 gene as a candidate gene for prolificacy QTL on SSC13 in an Iberian × Meishan F2 population
(BMC Genetics, 2011-10-31)Background: Reproductive traits, such as prolificacy, are of great interest to the pig industry. Better understanding of their genetic architecture should help to increase the efficiency of pig ... -
Analysis of the melon (Cucumis melo) small RNAome by high-throughput pyrosequencing
(BMC Genomics, 2011-08-03)Background: Melon (Cucumis melo L.) is a commercially important fruit crop that is cultivated worldwide. The melon research community has recently benefited from the determination of a complete draft ... -
Annotated 18S and 28S rDNA reference sequences of taxa in the planktonic diatom family Chaetocerotaceae
(PLOS ONE, 2018-12-26)The species-rich diatom family Chaetocerotaceae is common in the coastal marine phytoplankton worldwide where it is responsible for a substantial part of the primary production. Despite its relevance ... -
Comparative analysis of rosaceous genomes and the reconstruction of a putative ancestral genome for the family
(BMC Ecology and Evolution, 2011-01-12)Background: Comparative genome mapping studies in Rosaceae have been conducted until now by aligning genetic maps within the same genus, or closely related genera and using a limited number of common ... -
Determination of the melon chloroplast and mitochondrial genome sequences reveals that the largest reported mitochondrial genome in plants contains a significant amount of DNA having a nuclear origin
(BMC Genomics, 2011-08-20)Background: The melon belongs to the Cucurbitaceae family, whose economic importance among vegetable crops is second only to Solanaceae. The melon has a small genome size (454 Mb), which makes it ... -
Development and Evaluation of a 9K SNP Array for Peach by Internationally Coordinated SNP Detection and Validation in Breeding Germplasm
(PLoS ONE, 2012-04-20)Although a large number of single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) markers covering the entire genome are needed to enable molecular breeding efforts such as genome wide association studies, fine mapping, ... -
Direct and reverse pollen-mediated gene flow between GM rice and red rice weed
(AoB PLANTS, 2013-11-07)Potential risks of genetically modified (GM) crops must be identified before their commercialization, as happens with all new technologies. One of the major concerns is the proper risk assessment of ... -
Efect of feed restriction on the environmental variability of birth weight in divergently selected lines of mice
(Genetics Selection Evolution, 2019-06-13)Selection of mice for decreased environmental variability of birth weight has achieved higher survivability and larger litter size as a correlated response to canalized selection, which suggests higher ... -
Expression-based GWAS identifies variants, gene interactions and key regulators affecting intramuscular fatty acid content and composition in porcine meat
(Scientific Reports, 2016-08-18)The aim of this work is to better understand the genetic mechanisms determining two complex traits affecting porcine meat quality: intramuscular fat (IMF) content and its fatty acid (FA) composition. ... -
Functional and association studies on the pig HMGCR gene, a cholesterol-synthesis limiting enzyme
(Animal, 2009-10-23)The 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-CoA reductase (HMGCR) is the rate-limiting enzyme in the biosynthesis of cholesterol. We have studied the role of the HMGCR gene in pig lipid metabolism by means of ... -
Gene and QTL detection in a three-way barley cross under selection by a mixed model with kinship information using SNPs
(Theoretical and Applied Genetics, 2011-03-04)Quantitative trait locus (QTL) detection is commonly performed by analysis of designed segregating populations derived from two inbred parental lines, where absence of selection, mutation and genetic ... -
Genetic comparison of milk production and composition in three maternal rabbit lines
