Nineteen linkage groups containing a total of 52 markers have been identified in the sheep genome after typing large paternal half-sib families. The linkage groups range in size from 2 markers showing no recombination to a group containing 6 markers covering approximately 30 cM of the sheep genome. Thirteen of the groups have been assigned to a sheep chromosome. Three groups contain markers fro...

Dopaminergic neuronal circuits underlying self-injurious behavior (SIB) were investigated in neonatal 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA)-induced dopamine-depleted rats. The extent of damaged dopamine neuronal areas was investigated by quantitative analysis of tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) immunocytochemistry and the biochemical quantification of dopamine levels in three groups; neonatal 6-OHDA-treated rats...

ABSTRACT Kale has a long vegetative cycle, requiring lot of labor, due to the need for tutoring, thinning and multiple harvests, leading difficulties in maintenance evaluation experiments. Thus, objective was estimate minimum number evaluations assertive selection half-sib progenies kale by means repeatability study Bayesian approach. Twenty four were evaluated randomized block design with repl...

Fusarium circinatum causes pine pitch canker (PPC) disease and associated symptoms such as resinous lesions, mechanical weakness, crown dieback that may lead to mortality in Pinus Pseudotsuga spp. There are no ameliorative techniques available for the disease, genetic resistance among populations support commercial plantation deployment has not been well characterized. In this study, we charact...

Self-injurious behavior (SIB) has been observed in people with tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC), although the frequency of SIB in TSC is largely unknown. SIB is associated with intellectual and developmental disabilities, but there is no single cause of SIB. We retrospectively examined the frequency of SIB in a population of 257 patients with TSC and determined possible associations with SIB. W...

Estimation of the heritability for a given phenotype would provide basic information potential breeding programs. As one most precious common carp strains, Yellow River was subject to selection fast growth and slender body meet market demands. In present study, heritabilities shape (body length, BL height, BH) weight (BW) were estimated based on molecular parentage assignment 750 progenies from...
