Parent‐of‐origin effects on carcass traits in Japanese Black cattle

Variances caused by the differential expression of paternally and maternally imprinted genes controlling carcass traits in Japanese Black cattle were estimated in this study. Data on marbling score (BMS), carcass weight, rib thickness, rib‐eye area (REA) and subcutaneous fat thickness (SFT) were collected from a total of 13,115 feedlot steers and heifers in a commercial population. A sire–maternal grandsire model was used to analyse the data, and then, imprinting parameters were derived by replacing the genetic effect of the dam with the effect of the maternal grandsire in the imprinting model to calculate the genetic parameter estimates. The proportions of the total genetic variance attributable to imprinted genes ranged from 8.7% (SFT) to 35.2% (BMS). The remarkably large imprinting variance of BMS was mainly contributed by maternally expressed inheritance because the maternal contribution of the trait was much larger than that of the paternal trait. The parent‐of‐origin effect originating from maternal gene expression was also observed for REA. The results suggested the existence of genomic imprinting effects on the traits of the Japanese Black cattle. Hence, the parent‐of‐origin effect should be considered for the genetic evaluation of Japanese Black cattle in breeding programmes.

Modeling genetic differences of combined broiler chicken populations in single-step GBLUP

The introduction of animals from a different environment or population is a common practice in commercial livestock populations. In this study, we modeled the inclusion of a group of external birds into a local broiler chicken population for the purpose of genomic evaluations. The pedigree was composed of 242,413 birds and genotypes were available for 107,216 birds. A five-trait model that included one growth, two yield, and two efficiency traits was used for the analyses. The strategies to model the introduction of external birds were to include a fixed effect representing the origin of parents and to use unknown parent groups (UPG) or metafounders (MF). Genomic estimated breeding values (GEBV) were obtained with single-step GBLUP using the Algorithm for Proven and Young. Bias, dispersion, and accuracy of GEBV for the validation birds, that is, from the most recent generation, were computed. The bias and dispersion were estimated with the linear regression (LR) method,whereas accuracy was estimated by the LR method and predictive ability. When fixed UPG were fit without estimated inbreeding, the model did not converge. In contrast, models with fixed UPG and estimated inbreeding or random UPG converged and resulted in similar GEBV. The inclusion of an extra fixed effect in the model made the GEBV unbiased and reduced the inflation. Genomic predictions with MF were slightly biased and inflated due to the unbalanced number of observations assigned to each metafounder. When combining local and external populations, the greatest accuracy can be obtained by adding an extra fixed effect to account for the origin of parents plus UPG with estimated inbreeding or random UPG. To estimate the accuracy, the LR method is more consistent among scenarios, whereas the predictive ability greatly depends on the model specification.     

不同供体及不同回交次数对玉米自交系R08的改良效应

以R08为轮回亲本,18个优良自交系为供体亲本,不同回交和自交次数,选育出遗传背景与R08相近、但相互之间又存在一定差异的BC₁F₃和BC₂F₂各18个R08改良系。通过抗病性鉴定、配合力及SSR分子标记分析,探讨不同供体及不同回交次数对R08的改良效果。结果表明,36个改良系中,29个抗或高抗大斑病,大部分改良系的多数产量性状一般配合力(GCA)与R08相比并无下降或有所提高;相同供体不同回交次数选系的比较显示,对大斑病抗性的改良,回交1次自交2次(BC₁F₃)优于回交2次自交1次(BC₂F₂),且改良后代选系多数产量性状GCA大体相当;相同回交次数不同供体选系的比较表明,供体对回交后代的影响较大,供体不同回交后代选系大斑病抗性及多数产量性状GCA存在较大的差异;SSR分子标记研究结果在一定程度上揭示相同供体不同回交次数所创造的遗传变异无明显差异,相同回交次数不同供体选系在分子水平上存在较大差异;供体昌7-2和川321对改良R08的大斑病抗性和产量性状GCA作用较大,属优良供体亲本;w4-1和w10-1属回交改良优良选系。因此,利用回交法改良玉米自交系,在选准供体亲本的基础上,回交1次后,在自交过程中加强目标性状的鉴定选择及配合力测定,可提高回交改良的育种效率。     

N_(86)不育材料的选育及研究初报

1986年在甘蓝型油菜萝卜细胞质雄性不育系的测交后代中,发现半不育植株;经回交和定向选择,选育出N_(26)不育材料。N_(26)不育材料花的特征仍保持萝卜质不育系的花瓣特征,但不育性不同于萝卜质不育系。初步研究结果表明;N_(26)不育材料的不育性受温度影响,在一段时间里,当日平均气温高于12℃,该材料表现为不育;当日平均气温低于12℃,该材料则开半不育和可育花。N_(26)不育材料的遗传属核质互作类型,细胞核内可能有两对隐性基因控制不育性。本文对N_(26)不育材料的利用进行了探讨,但没有研究N_(26)不育材料细胞质与萝卜质不育系细胞质的异同。
