Interpopulation and intrapopulation maternal lineage genetics of the Lanyu pig (Sus scrofa) by analysis of mitochondrial cytochrome b and control region sequences

The Lanyu pig is an indigenous breed from the Lanyu Islet, which is southeast of Taiwan. Two herds of Lanyu pigs were introduced from the Lanyu Islet into Taiwan in 1975 and 1980. The current population of conserved Lanyu pigs consists of only 44 animals with unknown genetic lineage. The Lanyu pig possesses a distinct maternal genetic lineage remote from Asian and European pigs. The present study aimed to understand the phylogenetic relationship among conserved Lanyu, Asian, and European type pigs based on the cytochrome b coding gene, to ascertain the maternal lineage and genetic diversity within the conserved Lanyu pigs, and to address whether genetic introgression from exotic or Formosan wild pigs had occurred in the conserved Lanyu pigs. Entire mitochondrial genomes of both types of Lanyu pig comprised 2 ribosomal RNA, 22 transfer RNA, and 13 protein-coding genes. Only 2 haplotypes of the mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) control region and cytochrome b were identified in the conserved Lanyu pig herds. When maximum likelihood trees were constructed, the Type I Lanyu mitochondrial genes formed a unique clade with a large pairwise distance of both cytochrome b and the control region from Asian and European type breeds, Formosan wild pigs, and exotic breeds. Significant loss of genetic diversity of mtDNA within the conserved Lanyu pigs was demonstrated by low haplotype and nucleotide diversities, supported by Fu and Li's D* neutrality test (1.44055; P < 0.05). The mtDNA control region sequences of extant pigs in the Lanyu Islet, however, showed high haplotype and nucleotide diversity, and clustered with exotic pigs. These results indicate no maternal lineage mtD-NA gene introgression from Formosan wild pigs and introduced exotic pigs to conserved Type I Lanyu pigs, and a severe loss of heterozygosity of mtDNA in conserved Lanyu pigs. The remaining extant pigs on the Lanyu Islet have been introgressed with exotic breeds. Strategies for future conservation of native Lanyu pigs are now even more urgent and important.     

Baggs ewes adapt to maternal undernutrition and maintain conceptus growth by maintaining fetal plasma concentrations of amino acids

Adequate delivery of AA is essential for normal fetal growth and development. Recently, we reported that when ewes from the University of Wyoming flock (farm flock with adequate nutrition) were fed 50% (nutrient-restricted) or 100% (control-fed) of the NRC-recommended nutrient requirements between d 28 and 78 of gestation, fetal weights as well as concentrations of most AA in maternal and fetal blood were substantially reduced in nutrient-restricted vs. control-fed pregnancies. The current study utilized Baggs ewes, which were selected under a markedly different production system (range flock with limited nutrition), to test the hypothesis that adaptation of ewes to nutritional and environmental changes may alter placental efficiency and conceptus nutrient availability in the face of maternal nutrient restriction. Baggs ewes received 50 or 100% of the NRC nutrient requirements between d 28 and 78 of pregnancy. On d 78, maternal uterine arterial and fetal umbilical venous blood samples were obtained, and the ewes were euthanized. Amino acids and their metabolites (ammonia, urea, and polyamines) in plasma were analyzed using enzymatic and HPLC methods. The results showed that maternal plasma concentrations of 9 AA (Asp, Ile, Leu, Lys, Orn, Phe, Thr, Trp, and Val) as well as maternal and fetal plasma concentrations of ammonia and urea were reduced (P < 0.05) in nutrient-restricted compared with control-fed Baggs ewes. However, fetal plasma concentrations of all AA and polyamines did not differ (P = 0.842) between the 2 groups of ewes. Collectively, these findings suggest that Baggs ewes, by adapting to the harsh conditions and limited nutrition under which they were selected, were able to maintain fetal concentrations of AA in the face of a maternal nutrient restriction through augmenting placental efficiency.     

Comparative analysis of proteomic profiles between endometrial caruncular and intercaruncular areas in ewes during the peri-implantation period

The endometrium of sheep consists of plenty of raised intercaruncular areas （IC）. In order to better understand aglandular areas called caruncular （C）, and intensely glandular the endometrium involved mechanisms of implantation, we used LC-MS/MS technique to profile the proteome of ovine endometrial C areas and IC areas separately during the peri-implantation period, and then compared the proteomic profiles between these two areas. We successfully detected 1740 and 1813 proteins in C areas and IC areas respectively. By comparing the proteome of these two areas, we found 170 differentially expressed proteins （DEPs） （P 〈 0.05）, functional bioinformatics analysis showed these DEPs were mainly involved in growth and remodeling of endometrial tissue, cell adhesion and protein transport, and so on Our study, for the first time, provided a proteomic reference for elucidating the differences between C and IC areas, as an integrated function unit respectively, during the peri-implantation period. The results could help us to better understand the implantation in the ewes. In addition, we established a relatively detailed protein database of ovine endometrium, which provide a unique reference for further studies.

家蚕滞育卵长期保存的研究

调查了不同温度保存的９个原种及２对杂交种的滞育性及多元醇量的变化，对长期保存卵进行了养蚕试验。结果表明：５℃保存卵在产卵１００日后滞育开始解除，１５０日左右孵化率达到最高峰，２００日后急剧下降。不同品种间无明显差异。１℃保存卵在产卵后１８０日左右开始解除滞育，原种在２００－３００日之间孵化率最高，３００日后显著降低，而杂交种产卵后４５０日孵化率仍在８０％以上。－１．５℃保存卵在产卵后５００日仍呈滞育状态，但转入５℃保存８０日后可获得孵化能力，到产卵后７００日孵化率大致在６０％左右。不同温度保存卵滞育的解除，与卵内山梨醇及甘油量的减少呈相同趋势。养蚕结果表明，用１℃保存４１０日以及－１．５℃保存７００日的杂交种，除孵化率比当年生产的冷藏浸酸种低外，其它饲育成绩无明显差异。

Immune and bone properties of chicks consuming corn contaminated with a Fusarium that induces dyschondroplasia

A study was conducted to contrast the dyschondroplasia-inducing capability of several species of Fusarium with that of the natural fungi found in poultry diets and litter. Day-old broiler chicks were fed pure corn cultures of specific fungal isolates for 3 weeks. Humoral immunity to sheep red blood cells (SRBC), body weight, valgus and varus leg deformities, incidence of dyschondroplasia, and mechanical properties of the tibiotarsi were examined. F. equiseti #15 was the only fungal isolate to induce dyschondroplasia to any significant degree, which confirmed previous work in Minnesota. This isolate also suppressed growth rate and humoral immunity, although dyschondroplasia sometimes did occur without associated immunosuppression and growth depression. Bone strength of the tibiotarsal diaphysis was normal, and gross lesions of valgus and varus leg deformities did not appear to be related to the incidence of dyschondroplasia in the 3-week-old chicks.
