The purposes of this study were to examine the relationship between male artificial insemination (AI)
fertility and sperm acrosomal conditions assessed by new and conventional staining techniques and to identify
possible reproductive dysfunctions causing low conception rates in AI using frozen-thawed spermatozoa with
poor acrosomal conditions in Japanese Black bulls. We investigated individual differences among bulls in the
results concerning (1) acrosomal conditions of frozen-thawed spermatozoa as assessed by not merely peanut
agglutinin-lectin staining (a conventional staining technique) but also immunostaining of acrosomal
tyrosine-phosphorylated proteins (a new staining technique), (2) routine AI using frozen-thawed spermatozoa as
assessed by pregnancy diagnosis, (3) in vivo fertilization of frozen-thawed spermatozoa and
early development of fertilized eggs as assessed by superovulation/AI-embryo collection tests and (4)
in vitro fertilization of frozen-thawed spermatozoa with oocytes. The percentages of
frozen-thawed spermatozoa with normal acrosomal conditions assessed by the abovementioned staining techniques
were significantly correlated with the conception rates of routine AI, rates of transferable embryos in
superovulation/AI-embryo collection tests and in vitro fertilization rates. These results are
consistent with new suggestions that the distribution of acrosomal tyrosine-phosphorylated proteins as well as
the acrosomal morphology of frozen-thawed spermatozoa are AI fertility-associated markers that are valid for
the prediction of AI results and that low conception rates in AI using frozen-thawed spermatozoa with poor
acrosomal conditions result from reproductive dysfunctions in the processes between sperm insemination into
females and early embryo development, probably failed fertilization of frozen-thawed spermatozoa with
oocytes. 相似文献

A virus that caused a distinct yellow mosaic was isolated in Okayama, Japan from Chinese cabbage (Brassica rapa L., Pekinensis group). The virus, with spherical particles ca. 28 nm in diameter, was mechanically transmissible only to
cruciferous species. From the host range, characteristic morphology of virus particles, serology and sequence analysis of
coat protein gene, the causal virus was identified as Turnip yellow mosaic virus (TYMV). Seed transmission of TYMV at 0–2.2% in Chinese cabbage was confirmed. This report is the first of TYMV from Chinese
cabbage and in Japan.
The nucleotide sequence data reported are available in the DDBJ/EMBL/GenBank databases as accessions AB358971 and AB358972. 相似文献

In our previous study, we performed genome‐wide association study (GWAS) to identify the genomic region associated with Fat area ratio to rib eye area (FAR) and detected a candidate in BTA7 at 10–30 Mbp. The present study aims to comprehensively detect all polymorphisms in the candidate region using whole‐genome resequencing data. Based on whole‐genome resequencing of eight animals, we detected 127,090 polymorphisms within the region. Of these, 31,945 were located within the genes. We further narrowed the polymorphisms to 6,044 with more than five allele differences between the high and low FAR groups that were located within 179 genes. We subsequently investigated the functions of these genes and selected 170 polymorphisms in eight genes as possible candidate polymorphisms. We focused on SLC27A6 K81M as a putative candidate polymorphism. We genotyped the SNP in a Japanese Black population (n = 904) to investigate the effect on FAR. Analysis of variance revealed that SLC27A6 K81M had a lower p‐value (p = .0009) than the most significant SNP in GWAS (p = .0049). Although only SLC27A6 K81M was verified in the present study, subsequent verification of the remaining candidate genes and polymorphisms could lead to the identification of genes and polymorphisms responsible for FAR. 相似文献

Pool‐based genome‐wide association study identified novel candidate regions on BTA9 and 14 for oleic acid percentage in Japanese Black cattle 下载免费PDF全文

Fatty acid composition is an important indicator of beef quality. The objective of this study was to search the potential candidate region for fatty acid composition. We performed pool‐based genome‐wide association studies (GWAS) for oleic acid percentage (C18:1) in a Japanese Black cattle population from the Hyogo prefecture. GWAS analysis revealed two novel candidate regions on BTA9 and BTA14. The most significant single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in each region were genotyped in a population (n = 899) to verify their effect on C18:1. Statistical analysis revealed that both SNPs were significantly associated with C18:1 (p = .0080 and .0003), validating the quantitative trait loci (QTLs) detected in GWAS. We subsequently selected VNN1 and LYPLA1 genes as candidate genes from each region on BTA9 and BTA14, respectively. We sequenced full‐length coding sequence (CDS) of these genes in eight individuals and identified a nonsynonymous SNP T66M on VNN1 gene as a putative candidate polymorphism. The polymorphism was also significantly associated with C18:1, but the p value (p = .0162) was higher than the most significant SNP on BTA9, suggesting that it would not be responsible for the QTL. Although further investigation will be needed to determine the responsible gene and polymorphism, our findings would contribute to development of selective markers for fatty acid composition in the Japanese Black cattle of Hyogo. 相似文献

Genetic parameters for carcass grading traits, image analysis traits, and monounsaturated fatty acid (MUFA) percentages were estimated in 29,942 Japanese Black cattle from Hyogo Prefecture. The analyzed traits included five carcass grading traits, two image analysis traits, fat area ratio and fineness index, and two MUFA traits, one measured in intermuscular fat using near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) and the other in intramuscular fat using gas chromatography (GC). The heritability estimates of image analysis traits and MUFA were moderate to high, ranging from 0.395 to 0.740, and it was considered that they could be improved simultaneously with carcass grading traits because no severe genetic antagonism was observed. Although the heritability of the NIRS-based intermuscular MUFA was slightly lower than that of the GC-based intramuscular MUFA, the genetic correlation between the two methods was as high as 0.804. These results indicate that the NIRS method can be used as an alternative evaluation procedure to predict MUFA in intramuscular fat in the longissimus muscle. 相似文献

We investigated reproduction of the clonal tree Robinia pseudoacacia in a Pinus thunbergii windbreak. Microsatellite polymorphism analysis revealed that asexual reproduction through horizontal root elongation and
ramet formation was the primary mode of reproduction in this population. Germination experiments indicated that the inability
of established genets to produce viable seeds inhibited sexual reproduction. The boundaries between genet areas were relatively
distinct, indicating that ramets within genets spatially excluded one another. Analyses of the number of annual rings and
thickness of excavated horizontal roots provided new insight regarding photosynthate transfer through horizontal roots. The
number of annual rings and thickness were highest for horizontal roots near the base of ramets and decreased along portions
far from ramets. This result indicates that the new horizontal root is supplied with photosynthate from the mother ramet for
a few years only, and that resource translocation between neighboring ramets within the same clone ceases after several years.
Hypotheses about horizontal root expansion and cessation were considered to explain the exclusive distribution pattern of
the horizontal root between genets. 相似文献

An evaluation of the in vivo antigenotoxic potential of beer components on heterocyclic amines including 2-amino-3,8-dimethylimidazo[4,5-f]quinoxaline (MeIQx) and 3-amino-1-methyl-5H-pyrido[4.3-b]indole (Trp-P-2) was determined with particular focus on the target organs of tumorigenesis, and the protective mechanisms involved were investigated. Beer-solution, consisting of a freeze-dried and dissolved sample, given as drinking water, reduced the formation of MeIQx-DNA adducts in mouse liver and lungs. Beer-solution added in the diet as a mimic of food additives also significantly reduced the amount of DNA adducts present in the liver, lung, and kidney DNA of mice fed with MeIQx compared to control mice fed with MeIQx in the absence of beer-solution. The amount of adducts present in the liver of mice with single or continuous administration of Trp-P-2 was significantly reduced when beer-solution was given as part of the diet compared to control mice given Trp-P-2 without beer-solution. Protective effects were observed both with lager- and stout-type samples. In an effort to investigate the mechanisms responsible for the observed protective effects, the effects of beer-solution on metabolizing enzymes for heterocyclic amines were examined. Beer-solutions inhibited the metabolic activation of Trp-P-2 to Trp-P-2(NHOH), as demonstrated by HPLC analysis. Considering the overall suppression of the genotoxicity of MeIQx and Trp-P-2 by beer, we have shown that beer components can inhibit the metabolic activation of heterocyclic amines and subsequently suppress the observed genotoxicity. The results of this study show that beer components are protective against the genotoxic effects of heterocyclic amines on target organs associated with tumorigenesis in vivo. 相似文献
