The world's population demand and animal output are significantly out of balance. Although traditional breeding techniques have been successful in selecting animal populations for a variety of traits with economic significance, the reliability of breeding value has always been in doubt. According to simulation and experiment data, genomic selection for young animals without own performance can predict breeding values with good accuracy. Genetic markers that cover the entire genome are employed in genomic selection, a sort of marker-assisted selection, to ensure that all loci for quantitative traits are in linkage disequilibrium with at least one marker. Early animal selection enables the development of innovative breeding techniques that increase genetic advancement while decreasing costs. The future of animal breeding companies lies in genomic selection, which increases genetic gain by reducing genetic interval and enhancing reliability. To regulate long-term genetic gain and increase the precision of genomic estimated value, more study is needed. An overview of the developments in genomic selection and its use in animal breeding was the goal of this paper.

Leaf rust caused by Puccinia recondita f.sp. tritici is a wheat disease of worldwide importance. Wheat genotypes known to carry specific rust resistance genes and segregating lines that originated from various cross combinations and derived from distinct F2 lineage, so as to represent a diverse genetic background, were included in the present study for validation of molecular markers for Lr19 and Lr24. STS markers detected the presence of the leaf rust resistance gene Lr19 in a Thatcher NIL (Tc*Lr19) and Inia66//CMH81A575 and of the gene Lr24 in the genotypes Arkan, Blue Boy II, Agent and CI17907. Validation of molecular markers for Lr19 and Lr24 in parental lines, followed by successful detection of these genes in F3 lines from various cross combinations, was carried out. The molecular test corresponded well with the host-pathogen interaction test response of these lines.

Termites are insects that can damage buildings, paper and plants. Termites are controlled by using termiticides (chemicals). Besides polluting the environment, termiticides may have harmful effects to organisms, including humans, and destroy metal. The use of chemicals will be environmentally and economically profitless. A joint effort to utilize biodegradable material will help to reduce the negative impacts of termiticides. One of the materials that can use to control termites is chitosan. The purpose of this study was to determine the termiticidal activity of chitosan on paper against termites. The termiticidal activity test followed method JIS K 1571 2004. The resistance of paper to termite damage was determined by calculating the percentage of weight loss and termite mortality rate. The following concentrations of chitosan in acetic acid were used: 0.5%, 1%, 1.5% and 2%. The test result showed that weight loss percentages were 20.49%, 16.37%, 15.77% and 10.80%, respectively. On the other hand, the weight loss percentage of paper without chitosan was 32.69%, which shows that termites do not favour chitosan used in the paper. The activity of termites was successfully inhibited when the concentration of chitosan was increased, and the percentage of paper weight loss decreased from 10.80% to 20.49%. Paper without chitosan had a termite mortality rate of 18.3%; The addition of chitosan increased termite mortality to 28.2%–30.4%. The percentage of weight loss decreased with increasing termite mortality. The termite mortality rate show that chitosan is nontoxic and potential as biotermiticide for paper.

Niemann-Pick C disease (NPC) is an irreversible neurodegenerative disorder without current treatment. It is the result of deficient intracellular cholesterol movement. We investigated the effects of tamoxifen and vitamin E (D-alpha tocopherol) treatment on patterns of weight loss and motor function in the mouse model of Niemann-Pick C disease (Npc1-/- mice). Tamoxifen has multiple metabolic effects, including reducing oxidative damage, while vitamin E primarily has this property. Npc1-/- mice were identified and treatment was initiated at an approximate age of 21 days. Tamoxifen suspended in peanut oil was administered via intraperitoneal injection (weekly, at a dose calculated to deliver 0.023 mug/g/day). Vitamin E (25 IU) was administered orally via gavage once a week. Weight loss and Rota-Rod performance were analyzed by using Kaplan-Meyer survival curves. Tamoxifen treatment by itself significantly delayed weight loss (an endpoint of neurodegeneration) in male and female mice compared to untreated controls. Motor function was evaluated by performance on a Rota-Rod. Tamoxifen maintained Rota-Rod performance for about an extra week. Vitamin E treatment significantly delayed weight loss in females only. Rota-Rod performance was maintained slightly longer in mice treated with vitamin E. Simultaneous use of both treatments did not delay weight loss longer than tamoxifen-only treatment but had a greater effect than either treatment alone on Rota-Rod performance and demonstrated a significant positive effect on the early ?learning curve' portion of the Rota-Rod evaluations. We found significant but relatively small improvements in rate of disease progression by treating Npc1-/- mice with tamoxifen and/or vitamin E. Some sex differences in response and an early improvement in Rota-Rod performance suggest areas for further study.

Sequencing, Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) and Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism (RFLP) were carried out to detect polymorphism in the last intron of the FASN gene of the Campero broiler line. The analysis of the sequences presents a G to A substitution located at base 459 of the PCR product (GenBank accession number J02839, located at base Nr. 1222), resulting in a site recognized by restriction enzymes Hae III and Ava II. Also, the sequence presents a G to A substitution (located at base 603 of the PCR product and Nr. 1366 of the J02839 GenBank accession) resulting in a site recognized by restriction enzyme Pst I. Alleles and genotype frequencies were calculated for endonucleases Hae III, Ava II and Pst I for 44 broilers.

Cyclooxygenase (COX) is involved in modulating inflammatory response through the synthesis of prostaglandins. The inducible isoform of the enzyme, COX-2, is overexpressed in some malignant and premalignant lesions. Several preclinical and clinical studies have reported COX-2 inhibition as an effective strategy for chemoprevention. Nonsteroidal anitinflammatory drugs (NASIDs) such as celecoxib, are the most widely investigated COX-2 inhibitors. The oil-soluble diallyl sulfides (DAS) include monosulfides (DAMS), disulfides (DADS) and trisulfides (DATS). They were found to be effective against canine and human tumors, the mechanism of which remains unresolved. We attempted a comparative evaluation of the antiproliferative effect of DAS in HEK 293T cells. The cells were treated with increasing concentrations of DAMS, DADS and DATS. There were significant differences between the IC50 values of DAMS, DADS and DATS. RT-PCR was performed and the expression of COX-2 was compared with that of b actin. DATS inhibited COX-2 gene expression significantly stronger than DAMS and DADS. The data are suggestive of antineoplastic effect of DAS, mediated by controlling COX-2 expression.

The fatty acid composition of oil of the zero erucic acid commercial Brassica napus L. is typical for this species. It is rich in oleic acid and contains moderate levels of linoleic and linolenic acid. For human nutrition, it is advantageous primarily to obtain the highest possible content of oleic acid and to maintain the 2:1 ratio of linoleic to linolenic acid, while preserving the average total content of saturated acids. Uni- and multivariate analyses of variance were used for evaluation of doubled haploid lines of winter oilseed rape in respect of five fatty acids: palmitic (C16:0), stearic (C18:0) oleic (C18:1), linoleic (C18:2) and linolenic (C18:3). Some proposals of studying doubled haploid (DH) lines with the use of canonical transformation were also given. In MANOVA, the five original variables (individual fatty acids) were replaced by three 'new' variables (combinations of these acids) and used to evaluate DH lines with respect to the equirements concerning the nutritional role of fatty acids. The first variable was the total content of the saturated acids (C16:0 + C18:0), the second (unchanging) was the content of the monounsaturated acid C18:1, and the third was the difference between polyunsaturated acids, i.e. between linoleic acid, and the doubled content of linolenic acid (C18:2 ? 2 ? C18:3).

Milk protein genes expression in cows' mammary epithelial cells is regulated mostly by the action of prolactin mediated through the STAT5A transcription factor. The STAT5A gene is a potential quantitative trait locus (QTL) and genetic marker of production traits in dairy cattle. The sequence of the bovine STAT5A gene was analysed in this study to investigate if mutations in this sequence might be responsible for quantitative variations in milk yield and composition. Ten PCR fragments representing most important functional domains of STAT5A were screened for polymorphism. Using the SSCP method a new SNP (A/G) was found, located in intron 9 at position 9501 (GenBank AJ237937). The frequencies of alleles were estimated in 186 Black-and-White cows (0.52 and 0.48 for A and G, respectively) and in 138 Jersey cows (0.58 and 0.42 for A and G, respectively). For Black-and-White cows with different STAT5A genotypes no significant associations between STAT5A genotypes and milk performance traits were found. Statistically significant differences in the first and second lactations for milk yield, fat and protein content were found in Jersey cows. Cows with the GG genotype showed the highest milk yield, while cows with genotypes AA and AG showed higher protein contents when compared to cows with the GG genotype. Interestingly, cows with genotype AG showed significantly higher protein yields in comparison to cows with the AA genotype. For fat content, cows with genotype AA showed the highest level of this trait in the 1st and 2nd lactation. Further studies are necessary to evaluate an allele substitution effect in the population of sib-families of STAT5A heterozygous bulls.

A simplified AFLP method, based on methylation-sensitive Alw44I restriction endonuclease, has been developed and evaluated for fingerprinting 15 wheat cultivars. The selected germplasms represented groups of spring and winter wheats with and without the 1BL.1RS translocation. Ten selective primers yielded 57 markers, including 19 polymorphic bands. Three markers (15.8%) were specific to wheat carrying the 1BL.1RS translocation, thus conflicting with the frequency expected by random marker distribution (2.4%), and suggesting qualitative differences in DNA methylation among winter wheat cultivars with the 1BL.1RS translocation. Mean Dice's similarities ranged from 0.85 to 0.99, thus all cultivars could be identified by the banding profile. Winter wheat cultivars, with and without the 1BL.1RS chromosome, were slightly more similar to one another (0.959) than spring wheat cultivars (0.952). Five (9%) specific markers were obtained from cultivars Sicco, Cheyenne, Fenman, Disponent and Chinese Spring.

We developed random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) analysis for the assessment of the genetic relationship between cultured populations of the Pacific oyster Crassostrea gigas Thunberg in Hiroshima and Goseong, the largest oyster farming areas in Japan and Korea, respectively. Of 25 arbitrary primers comprising decamer nucleotides of random sequences, polymerase chain reaction amplifications with 5 different primers gave reproducible electrophoretic patterns. A total of 49 RAPD markers were clearly identified for the Hiroshima and Goseong populations, and 46 markers were polymorphic presenting mean polymorphism rates of the respective populations at 92.29% and 93.32%. Pairwise genetic distances of each 20 individuals from these populations served to produce a UPGMA dendrogram. The dendrogram comprised two main clusters, one of which was a nested cluster including all individuals of the Hiroshima population along with 12 individuals of the Goseong population, and the other cluster included the remaining individuals of the Goseong population. Results indicate that RAPD markers are useful for the assessment of the genetic relationships between populations of the Pacific oyster and further that a significant portion of oysters imported from Korea could be genetically related to the Hiroshima population.

Understanding the reproductive physiology of female animals is used to optimize reproductive management of dairy cattle. This study was conducted at Adea Berga Dairy Research sub Center of the Ethiopian Institute of Agricultural Research. A total of 15 experimental animals were used to characterize the follicular dynamics of Fogera (n=9) and Jersey (n=6) dairy cattle breeds. Characterization of ovarian follicular dynamics was done using a trans-rectal real-time B-mode ultrasound system for three consecutive estrus cycles; and behavioral estrus signs were visually observed and recorded. Fogera cows manifested two (n=2, 29.62%), three (n=5, 55.55%), and four (n=1, 14%) follicular waves whereas Jersey cows showed two (n=2, 38.9%) and three (n=4, 61.11%) follicular waves. Cycle length or inter ovulatory interval was 20.35 ± 2.8 and 20.67 ± 2.6 days for Fogera and Jersey cows, respectively. The mean number of follicular population per animal was 13.9 ± 5.9 for Fogera and 17.9 ± 7.0 for Jersey cows. There was a significant (p<0.001) difference in follicular number observed between the two breeds. The mean maximum diameter of the ovulatory follicle for Jersey cows was 17.2 ± 0.86 mm and for Fogera 15.22 ± 1.3 mm. There was no statistical difference between the breed in terms of inter-ovulatory interval (IOI), however, there was significant difference (p<0.001) between the breeds in number of follicular population and ovulatory follicle size. In conclusion, behavioral signs of estrus were weaker in fogera breeds as compared to their Jersey counterpart, and relatively higher number of ovarian follicles recorded in Jersey than Fogera cattle breed.

This case report presents two chromosomal inversions in one of partners from a subfertile couple. The woman was referred due to a spontaneous abortion in the 5th week of pregnancy. Cytogenetic examination showed that the proband's karyotype was normal: 46,XX,16qh+, as centromeric heterochromatin is thought to be clinically insignificant. However, the proband's partner occurred to be a carrier of two pericentric inversions. His karyotype was 46,XY,inv(2)(p11q13),inv(9)(p11q13). The abnormal karyotype is recognised as a possible reason of fertility problems in the investigated couple. The risk of further miscarriages is considered high, but the risk of progeny with abnormal karyotypes is rather low, as small inversions may lead to lethal recombinants.

Zymograms of the aspartate aminotransferase (AAT, EC 2.6.1.1) activity in leaf extracts from Aegilops and Triticum species revealed three AAT zones, denoted according to the decreasing electrophoretic mobility towards the anode as AAT-1, AAT-2 and AAT-3. The AAT activity zymograms of subcellular fractions isolated from T. aestivum seedlings made it possible to establish that the AAT-1 zone is located in the mitochondria, AAT-2 in the chloroplasts and AAT-3 in the cytoplasm. Most of the total AAT activity from wheat leaves arises from the chloroplasts and cytoplasm. The AAT-3 zone exhibited the lowest electrophoretic mobility, but 3 isoenzymes occurring within were the most visibly separated. The occurrence of a single band in this zone at the AAT-3a position (closest to the anode) for the aneuploid CS3ASDt AABBDD line (the absence of long arms of the 3rd pair of homologous chromosomes in the A genome) and at the AAT-3c position for Ae. umbellulata (genome UU), as well as three bands in the whole zone for T. durum (AABB) and T. aestivum (AABBDD) each, made it possible to evaluate the subunit composition of isoenzymes in the AAT-3 zone. The band at the AAT-3a position in the zymogram is formed from dimers, AAT-3b from and AAT-3c from . By comparing the distribution of isoenzyme bands intensities (the result of enzymatic activity) with the mathematical models, the frequencies of the occurrence of the and subunits within AAT-3 zone were evaluated. In AAT-3 from T. durum, and occurred at the ratio of 0.54 : 0.46, and in that from T. aestivum ? 0.62 : 0.38, respectively.

Psoriasis is a common skin disease with a genetic background and significant human leukocyte antigen (HLA) associations. HLA-Cw6 is the most frequently described association, particularly with psoriasis of the early onset type. Few studies of its correlation with various psoriasis clinical phenotypes and severity of the disease have been published so far; none in the Polish population. In this study 78 patients with psoriasis vulgaris were evaluated clinically and subdivided according to the age of onset and the type of psoriasis. A system of disease severity evaluation was applied to each patient. All patients and the control group (70 unrelated persons) were typed for HLA-Cw*06. The results show that Cw*06 allele frequency was higher in psoriatics than in the control group. Our investigation confirms that the Cw*06 allele is positively associated with psoriasis vulgaris of the early onset type, with a positive family history and its more severe form.

In contrast to the biallelic expression of most genes, expression of imprinted genes is monoallelic and depends on the sex of the transmitting parents. In humans it has been implicated in some developmental failures, neurodevelopmental and neurobehavioral disorders (such as Prader-Willi/Angelman, Silver-Russel or Beckwith-Wiedemann syndromes). The aim of this review is to present the phenomenon of parental imprinting as well as its molecular mechanism in various mammals. Several maternal and paternal imprinted genes and gene clusters are described.

The calpain system orginally comprised molecules: two Ca2+-dependent proteases, mu-calpain and m-calpain, and a third polypeptide, calpastatin, whose only known function is to inhibit the two calpains. This proteolytic system plays a key role in the tenderisation process that occurs during post-mortem storage of meat under refrigerated conditioning. Their polymorphism is examined from the point of view of their effect on corresponding production traits. The calpain genes are investigated as potential candidate genes for a quantitative trait locus (QTL) affecting meat tenderness. In this study a new single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) was found within intron 14 of the bovine CAPN1 gene, being transition CT at position 4685 nt (consensus sequence ? GenBank No. AF 248054), as this mutation creates a new FokI restriction site detected with PCR-RFLP analysis. This sequence fragment of the SNP position has already been deposited in the GenBank database under accession No. AY639597. The RFLP-FokI polymorphism was studied in 141 bulls of seven breeds, including the native Polish Red (PR, preserved), and Polish Black-and White (BW) breed. The frequency of alleles T and C varied between the breeds considered, the mean reaching 0.38 and 0.62, respectively. Associations between CAPN1/FokI gene polymorphism and meat production traits were studied in BW (n = 84) young bulls. In the animals of the TT genotype the lean share in valuable cuts (%) was found more favourable than in CC animals.
