ABSTRACT A total of 80 samples were collected to analyze the mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) and Y chromosome genetic diversity of two main Portuguese Lidia bovine populations and clarify their genetic relationships with Spani...

The Mangalarga Marchador (MM) horse breed has expressive importance in the Brazilian economy. Thus, the aim of this study was to investigate diversity in the MM breed. A database with a total of 3,193 genotyped horses wa...

ABSTRACT The objective was to describe the organizational structure of the Mangalarga herd and evaluate the influence of geographic distribution and different coats on the population structure and genetic diversity. Gene...

Cultivated peanut is susceptible to several highly damaging pests, pathogens and abiotic stressors, largely due to its very narrow genetic base. However, a ploidy barrier exists between cultivated and highly resistant wi...

The genetic diversity was analyzed among spotted paca (Agouti paca) from three commercial flocks located in Brazil. As the genome of this species is unknown, the RAPD-PCR technique was used. Ten primers generated sixty p...

BackgroundMango (Mangifera indica L.) is an economically important tropical fruit crop, yet the genomic diversity of mango germplasm from the Jazan region of Saudi Arabia—the country's primary production hub—remains ...

Objetivou-se obter os índices de diversidade genética para o SNP (single nucleotide polymorphism) do íntron 4 do gene da osteopontina (OPN) para 434 animais (87 touros e 347 vacas) participantes do Teste de Progênie ...

Agricultural expansion and intensification has led globally to a rapid landscape structure change and high agrochemical use resulting in habitat loss and degraded environmental quality. Co-occurrence of landscape change ...

Este trabalho foi realizado para estimar a diversidade genética de 30 acessos de capim-elefante utilizando-se marcadores moleculares. Amostras de DNA genômico de cada acesso foram obtidas para realização da amplifica...

Abstract This study analyzes four decades (1980–2019) of cultivar registration in Argentina and its relationship with agricultural production trends, with focus on the complementary roles of the private sector and publ...

The population structure of the Murciano-Granadina breed was determined using 25 microsatellites from 266 goats of seven populations. The results of the genetic differentiation analysis showed that it is possible to diff...

The article presents the results of a study of polymorphism in the Ukrainian Brown breed (UB) for the BoLA-DRB3 gene. Experimental data were obtained using the PCR-PCRF method. The genotypes of the animals were determine...

Abstract Background Melissa officinalis (balm) is a perennial medicinal. Climate change and high cultivation costs necessitate the breeding of new cultivars with improved stress tolerance and high metabolite content. How...

Migratory birds are implicated in dispersing haemosporidian parasites over great geographic distances. However, their role in sharing these vector-transmitted blood parasites with resident avian host species along their ...

Vultures are keystone species in maintaining ecosystem health, but their populations have experienced catastrophic declines across the Indian subcontinent in last three decades. The study was conducted in the Ranikhet re...

This article highlights a novel photographic record of the endemic species, Red-naped Ibis of the Indian sub-continent from Sikkim Himalaya. We documented the bird during a field visit on 27 July 2024, in Jorethang, Sout...

Plants constitute the foundation of life on Earth, providing oxygen, food, and ecosystem services essential for human well-being. At the same time, they are among the most threatened components of biodiversity, with curr...

Meiotic recombination increases genetic diversity and manipulation of its frequency and distribution holds great promise in crop breeding. In Arabidopsis thaliana, FANCM (a homolog of mammalian Fanconi anemia complementa...

The integration of underutilised orphan crops into food systems can reduce the reliance on major crops for global food security and support adaptation to climate change. Major crops are increasingly susceptible to climat...

IntroductionThe African sugarcane stalk borer (Eldana saccharina) is a major insect pest of sugarcane in Sub-Saharan Africa. Because its larvae reside inside sugarcane stalks, conventional measures are less effective. Po...

Abstract Knowledge of genetic variability and the degree of association between yield and yield-attributing traits is fundamental for effective selection and yield improvement in breeding programs. Thus, eighteen finger ...

The paper analyses the spatial diversification of organic farming development in the gminas of the Lodzkie voivodeship in years 2008–2016. The level of the studied phenomenon was defined by a synthetic measure based on...

Abstract Background Passiflora germplasm, characterized by rich genetic diversity, play a pivotal role in the evolutionary history of tropical crops. With the expansion of commercial passion fruit cultivation, germplasm ...

En el norte de la Argentina habitan comunidades aborígenes Guaraníes que cultivan razas nativas de maíz. La caracterización genética del germoplasma autóctono, en particular de las razas de la Provincia de Misiones...
