Multimarker and rare variants genomewide association studies for bone weight in Simmental cattle

Bone weight, defined as the total weight of the bones in all the forequarter and hindquarter joints, can reflect somebody conformation traits and skeletal diseases. To gain a better understanding of the genetic determinants of bone weight, we used a composite strategy including multimarker and rare‐marker association to perform genomewide association studies (GWAS) for that character in Simmental cattle. Our strategy consisted of three models: (i) A traditional linear mixed model (LMM) was applied (Q+K‐LMM); (ii) single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) with p‐values less than .05 from the LMM were selected to undergo the least absolute shrinkage and selector operator (Lasso) in the second stage (LMM‐Lasso); (iii) genes containing two or more rare SNPs were examined by performing the sequence kernel association test (gene‐based SKAT). A total of 1,225 cattle were genotyped with an Illumina BovineHD BeadChip containing 770,000 SNPs. After the quality‐control procedures, 1,217 individuals with 608,696 common SNPs and 105,787 rare SNPs (with 0.001 < minor allele frequency [MAF] <0.05) remained in the sample for analysis. A traditional LMM successfully mapped three genes associated with bone weight, while LMM‐Lasso identified nine genes, which included all genes found by traditional LMM. Only a single gene, EPHB3, surpassed the significance threshold after Bonferroni correction in gene‐based SKAT. In conclusion, based on functional annotation and results from previous endeavours, we believe that LCORL, RIMS2, LAP3, PRKAR2B, CHSY1, MAP2K6 and EPHB3 are candidate genes for bone weight. In general, such a comprehensive strategy for GWAS may be useful for researchers seeking to probe the full genetic architecture underlying economic traits in livestock.     

温度和水分对赖草种子萌发的影响

利用聚乙二醇(PEG)试剂室内模拟不同干旱(0、-0.10、-0.20、-0.40、-0.80、-1.60 MPa)和温度(10、15、20、25、30℃)环境条件,对西藏班戈县野生型赖草(Leymus secalinus)种子萌发特性进行研究。结果表明,赖草种子在恒温10~30℃和变温10~30℃均能萌发.恒温25℃处理下,种子萌发达到了最佳响应;恒温15℃和变温20/30℃处理对赖草种子发芽率具有显著影响(P0.05),而恒温10和30℃对赖草种子发芽率具有极显著影响(P0.05);随着PEG渗透势的增加,赖草种子发芽率、发芽指数、活力指数和胚芽长均出现了不同程度的下降现象,而胚根则表现为先升后降的变化现象。25℃和蒸馏水处理下,野生赖草种子萌发效果最佳;而在25℃和-0.10~0 MPa渗透势处理下,赖草种子胚根优于胚芽生长。

以连农923菜豆种子为试验材料,探讨不同外植体取材部位对胚培养的效果,并探索不同激素配比及接种方法对连农923菜豆愈伤组织诱导效果的影响。试验结果表明,在菜豆胚培养过程中,完整胚芽、胚根接种法最适合胚培养;愈伤组织诱导的最佳接种方式为胚芽、胚根切段接种法,最佳培养基为MS基本培养基+2 mg/L 2,4-D,pH值5.8。     

6307E深沟球轴承开裂原因分析

对装配过程中发生开裂的6307E深沟球轴承,采用宏观观察、显微观察、硬度检测、扫描电镜观察、能谱微区成分分析等手段,并结合装配工艺进行了综合分析。分析结果表明,6307E深沟球轴承开裂处显微组织正常、硬度符合技术要求、化学成分正常且无原材料缺陷,裂纹处存在明显的氧化特征,可知该裂纹为轴承装配前就存在的淬火裂纹。     

江苏省森林碳储量的区域分布研究

运用因子连续函数法对江苏省13个地级市的森林碳储量及其变化情况进行了估算。结果表明:2010年,江苏省森林碳储量为4 615.55×104 t,苏北、苏南和苏中的占比分别为57.83%、28.26%和13.91%;2005~2010年,江苏省森林碳储量增加了2 025.59×104 t,森林"碳汇"效应显著,但各区域的碳储量变化不均衡。在江苏新增造林面积空间较为有限的背景下,提高林地生产力,优化树种和林龄结构是增加森林碳储量的有效途径。
