Male Red-crested Cardinal plumage coloration is associated with parental abilities and breeding performance
(Nature Publishing Group, 2019-12)
Avian plumage coloration deriving from carotenoid-based pigments is among the most honest signals of individual quality. It has been argued that females may differentially allocate resources based on mate attractiveness ...
Characterization of bovine MHC DRB3 diversity in global cattle breeds, with a focus on cattle in Myanmar
(BioMed Central, 2020-09)
Background: Myanmar cattle populations predominantly consist of native cattle breeds (Pyer Sein and Shwe), characterized by their geographical location and coat color, and the Holstein-Friesian crossbreed, which is highly ...
Genetic characterization of Mangalarga Marchador horse
(Elsevier Science, 2022-03)
Mangalarga Marchador (MM) is the most important Brazilian horse breed, with 600 thousand animals registered. The aim of this study carry out the genetic characterization of the breed. Samples were collected from 355 horses ...
Diversity of the BoLA-DRB3 gene in cattle breeds from tropical and subtropical regions of Argentina
(Springer, 2021-12)
Bovine leukocyte antigens (BoLA) have been widely studied because of their primary function in the recognition of pathogens by the immune system. To date, however, the characterization of the BoLA-DRB3 gene in Latin American ...
Characterization of experimental cattle populations from Argentina with a low-density SNP genotyping panel
(Wiley, 2022-12-05)
The objectives of the present experiment were to evaluate a low-density SNP array designed for the molecular characterisation of gene banks and to assess the genetic diversity and population structure of beef cattle herds ...
Implementation of a cashmere goat breeding program amongst nomads in Southern Iran
(2015-08)
A breeding program to improve income from Raeini cashmere herds run by nomads in Southern Iran was implemented. Eight nomads agreed on improving fleece weight, body weight and down yield while reducing cashmere fibre ...
Dynamics of circulating lipoproteins and lipids in Brown Skua (Stercorarius antarcticus lonnbergi) during the breeding cycle
(Springer Verlag Berlín, 2021-02)
In central-place foragers the breeding cycle is often the period with the highest energy cost, where dietary and stored lipids play a key role. Lipids are mobilized through blood lipoproteins providing fuel to tissues. ...
Indigenous domestic breeds as reservoirs of genetic diversity: The Argentinean Creole cattle
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2001-10)
Contrary to highly selected commercial breeds, indigenous domestic breeds are composed of semi-wild or feral populations subjected to reduced levels of artificial selection. As a consequence, many of these breeds have ...
Multitrait differential response in a diverse potato panel under contrasting water regimes
(Crop Science Society of America, 2020-05)
Water stress is the most significant environmental stress in agriculture worldwide. Potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) is a drought-susceptible crop. Water stress tolerance is a complex trait of increasing importance in potato. ...
Additive genetic variance and covariance between relatives in synthetic wheat crosses with variable parental ploidy levels
(Oxford University Press, 2021-01-07)
Cultivated bread wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) is an allohexaploid species resulting from the natural hybridization and chromosome doubling of allotetraploid durum wheat (T. turgidum) and a diploid goatgrass Aegilops tauschii ...
