Eastern and Western Finns show a striking difference in coronary heart disease-related mortality; genetics is a known contributor for this discrepancy. Here, we discuss the potential role of DNA methylation in mediating the discrepancy in cardiometabolic disease-risk phenotypes between the sub-populations. We used data from the Young Finns Study (n...

Background: Quantitative trait loci (QTL) are genomic regions that influence essential traits in livestock. Understanding QTL distribution and density across species’ genomes is crucial for animal genetics research. Objectives: This study explored the QTLome of cattle, pigs, sheep, and chickens by analyzing QTL distribution and evaluating the corre...

Introduction Panicle number (PN) is one of the three key yield components in rice, maintaining stable tiller and PN is a crucial characteristic of an ideal plant architecture. Understanding the molecular mechanisms underlying PN is essential for breeders aiming to improve rice yield. Methods To dissect the genetic architecture of panicle number, a ...

Within-sample variation in cotton fiber length is a major factor influencing the production and quality of yarns. The textile industry has been searching for approaches of improving the long fiber fraction and minimizing the short fiber fraction within a cotton sample to produce superior fiber and yarn quality. USTER® High Volume Instrument (HVI) h...

Body conformation traits are linked to the health, longevity, reproductivity, and production performance of cattle. These traits are also crucial for herd selection and developing new breeds. This study utilized pedigree information and phenotypic (1185 records) and genomic (The resequencing of 496 Xinjiang Brown cattle generated approximately 74.9...

Wheat is used for making many food products due to its diverse quality profile among different wheat classes. Since laboratory analysis of these end-use quality traits is costly and time-consuming, genetic dissection of the traits is preferential. This study used a genome-wide association study (GWAS) of ten end-use quality traits, including kernel...

Leaf angle (LA) is closely related to plant architecture, photosynthesis and density tolerance in maize. In the current study, we used a recombinant inbred line population constructed by two maize-inbred lines to detect quantitative trait loci (QTLs) controlling LA. Based on the average LA in three environments, 13 QTLs were detected, with the loga...

Introduction Owing to advances in high-throughput genome sequencing, QTL-Seq mapping of salt tolerance traits is a major platform for identifying soil-salinity tolerance QTLs to accelerate marker-assisted selection for salt-tolerant rice varieties. We performed QTL-BSA-Seq in the seedling stage of rice from a genetic cross of the extreme salt-sensi...

Stripe rust is a serious wheat disease occurring worldwide. At present, the most effective way to control it is to grow resistant cultivars. In this study, a population of 221 recombinant inbred lines (RILs) derived via single-seed descent from a hybrid of a susceptible wheat line, SY95-71, and a resistant line, XK502, was tested in three crop seas...

This study evaluated 290 recombinant inbred lines (RILs) from the Nested Association Mapping (NAM) population in the UK, consisting of 24 hybrid families. All genotypes were grown in Southeastern Kazakhstan (Kazakh Research Institute of Agriculture and Plant Growing, Almaty region, 2021–2022) and Northern Kazakhstan (Alexandr Barayev Scientific-Pro...
