Single step genomic evaluation for female fertility in Nordic Red dairy cattle

Joint Nordic (Denmark, Finland, Sweden) genetic evaluation of female fertility is currently based on the multiple trait multilactation animal model (BLUP). Here, single step genomic model (ssGBLUP) was applied for the Nordic Red dairy cattle fertility evaluation. The 11 traits comprised of nonreturn rate and days from first to last insemination in heifers and first three parities, and days from calving to first insemination in the first three parities. Traits had low heritabilities (0.015–0.04), but moderately high genetic correlations between the parities (0.60–0.88). Phenotypic data included 4,226,715 animals with records and pedigree 5,445,392 animals. Unknown parents were assigned into 332 phantom parent groups (PPG). In mixed model equations animals were associated with PPG effects through the pedigree or both the pedigree and genomic information. Genotype information of 46,914 SNPs was available for 33,969 animals in the pedigree. When PPG used pedigree information only, BLUP converged after 2,420 iterations whereas the ssGBLUP evaluation needed over ten thousand iterations. When the PPG effects were solved accounting both the pedigree and the genomic information, the ssGBLUP model converged after 2,406 iterations. Also, with the latter model breeding values by ssGBLUP and BLUP became more consistent and genetic trends followed each other well. Models were validated using forward prediction of the young bulls. Reliabilities and variance inflation of predicted genomic breeding values (values for parent averages in brackets) for the 11 traits ranged 0.22–0.31 (0.10–0.27) and 0.81–0.95 (0.83–1.06), respectively. The ssGBLUP model gave always higher validation reliabilities than BLUP, but largest increases were for the cow fertility traits.     

Identification of a phytoplasma associated with pomegranate little leaf disease in Iran

During 2012–2014 surveys for the presence of phytoplasma diseases in Fars province (Iran), pomegranate little leaf symptoms were observed in several orchards in Khafr and Neyriz areas. Samples collected from symptomatic plants positively reacted in nested PCR assays using P1/P7 followed by R16F2n/R16R2 primer pairs producing the expected 1,250 bp DNA fragments. Real and virtual RFLP analysis showed that the sequences of phytoplasma strains from Khafr and Neyriz (KPLL and NPLL strains, respectively) were identical to each other and belong to 16SrII phytoplasma group, subgroup D. Phylogenetic analysis of the R16F2n⁄R16R2 DNA region confirmed that KPLL and NPLL phytoplasmas were enclosed in the same clade as other 16SrII-D subgroup phytoplasmas. This is the first reported occurrence of a 16SrII phytoplasma infecting pomegranate trees.     

Attributes of wheat cultivars for late autumn sowing in genes expression and field estimates

Due to the growing interest in Central and Eastern Europe on cropping of wheat in optional late autumn terms, called facultative, genetic research and field evaluation were taken on four spring cultivars: Tybalt (NL), Monsun (DE), Ostka Smolicka (PL) and Bombona (PL), currently being recommended by breeders. The PPD gene analyze, expression level of dehydrine genes (WCS120 and WDHN13) in cooling test, and qPCR for RNA isolation and analyses of WCS120 and WDHN13 gene expression at the BBCH12 stage of wheat were estimated. Molecular analysis of PPD-D1 gene confirmed the presence of photoperiod sensitive allele ppd-D1b in all tested genotypes. The highest level of NRE WCS120 gene was detected in cultivars Tybalt and Bombona. Two-year field experimental study assessed the growth, development and productivity of facultative and spring crops of studied cultivars. Based on our results from field experiments and result of molecular analysis of alleles of PPD-D1 gene, the tested genotypes can be considered as potentially facultative genotypes.

喀斯特山区2个鲫鱼群体基于转铁蛋白的遗传多样性研究

为了解喀斯特山区2个不同鲫鱼群体在蛋白质水平的遗传多样性及其遗传差异,运用聚丙烯酰胺凝胶电泳方法对喀斯特山区2个群体鲫鱼的血清转铁蛋白电泳表型及多样性进行研究。结果表明:群体克隆多样性指数表现为草海鲫鱼(0.32)﹥红鲫(0.25,对照)﹥普安鲫鱼(0.13);3个鲫鱼群体的13个克隆由9个不同的等位基因产生,等位基因的频率分别为Tf~a0.144 9、Tf~b0.202 9、Tf~c0.036 2、Tf~d0.058 0、Tf~e0.007 2、Tf~f0.239 1、Tf~g0.014 5、Tf~h0.275 4、Tf~i0.029 0;普安鲫鱼与草海鲫鱼和红鲫无共享的基因型;普安鲫鱼与草海鲫鱼之间的遗传相似性指数较高(0.714 3),遗传距离较小(0.285 7)。总体来看,草海鲫鱼的克隆多样性水平较高,其转铁蛋白多样性程度较普安鲫鱼丰富;2个群体之间存在较近的亲缘关系,未达到遗传距离种的分化标准。

基于EST-SSR和SNP标记的大麦麦芽纯度检测

大麦麦芽作为啤酒酿造的主要原料之一,其纯度决定了麦芽原料的均一性,进而影响加工工艺和啤酒品质。为高效准确地鉴定麦芽纯度,在啤酒企业进行麦芽原料采购和质量监测时提供参考依据。本研究分别利用EST-SSR和SNP标记定性检测了按比例预混的麦芽样品纯度,并利用SNP标记定量检测了4份送检的麦芽盲样纯度。结果表明,EST-SSR标记能定性检测混杂度高于10%的麦芽样品,而SNP标记能够有效鉴定混杂度低至5%的麦芽样品。SNP标记对纯度定量检测的单次抽样的测定值与真实值之间的误差在3%以内。比较发现,本研究所用的两类分子标记均可用于麦芽样品的纯度检测,但基于KASP技术的SNP标记可以满足麦芽纯度的快速定量检测需要。
