Analysis of synonymous codon usage in FAD7 genes from different plant species

Q. P. Ma, Li, C., Wang, J., Wang, Y., and Ding, Z. T., Analysis of synonymous codon usage in FAD7 genes from different plant species, vol. 14, pp. 1414-1422, 2015.

In this study, the codon bias of the FAD7 genes among 10 different plant species was analyzed to identify general patterns of codon usage in the FAD7 genes. Our results showed that U-ended or A-ended codons were preferentially used in FAD7 for dicots, whereas G-ended or C-ended codons were preferentially used in FAD7 for monocots. An ENC-plot showed that some other factors may influence the codon usage of FAD7, except mutation bias in plant species.

Genetic analysis of QTL for eye cross and eye diameter in common carp (Cyprinus carpio L.) using microsatellites and SNPs

S. B. Jin, Zhang, X. F., Lu, J. G., Fu, H. T., Jia, Z. Y., and Sun, X. W., Genetic analysis of QTL for eye cross and eye diameter in common carp (Cyprinus carpio L.) using microsatellites and SNPs, vol. 14, pp. 3557-3569, 2015.

A group of 107 F1 hybrid common carp was used to construct a linkage map using JoinMap 4.0. A total of 4877 microsatellite and single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) markers isolated from a genomic library (978 microsatellite and 3899 SNP markers) were assigned to construct the genetic map, which comprised 50 linkage groups. The total length of the linkage map for the common carp was 4775.90 cM with an average distance between markers of 0.98 cM.

Descriptive statistics and correlation analysis of agronomic traits in a maize recombinant inbred line population

H. M. Zhang, Hui, G. Q., Luo, Q., Sun, Y., and Liu, X. H., Descriptive statistics and correlation analysis of agronomic traits in a maize recombinant inbred line population, vol. 13, pp. 457-461, 2014.

Maize (Zea mays L.) is one of the most important crops in the world. In this study, 13 agronomic traits of a recombinant inbred line population that was derived from the cross between Mo17 and Huangzao4 were investigated in maize: ear diameter, ear length, ear axis diameter, ear weight, plant height, ear height, days to pollen shed (DPS), days to silking (DS), the interval between DPS and DS, 100-kernel weight, kernel test weight, ear kernel weight, and kernel rate.

Correlation analysis between starch properties and single nucleotide polymorphisms of waxy genes in common rye (Secale cereale L.)

M. Meng, Gao, X., Han, L. J., Li, X. Y., Wu, D., Li, H. Z., and Chen, Q. J., Correlation analysis between starch properties and single nucleotide polymorphisms of waxy genes in common rye (Secale cereale L.), vol. 13, pp. 2574-2589, 2014.

To understand the relationships between single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the waxy gene and starch parameters in common rye, we performed sequence characterization, enzyme activity testing, amylopectin/amylose ratio evaluation, starch property testing, and correlation analysis. Specific primers were used to clone waxy from 20 rye cultivars. Sequence analysis showed that waxy was 2852 bp, including 11 exons, and sequence similarity across the 20 cultivars was over 98%.

Developing selection criteria based on an ontogenetic path analysis approach to improve grain yield in barley

T. A. Setotaw, Belayneh, S. G., Gwinner, R., and Ferreira, J. L., Developing selection criteria based on an ontogenetic path analysis approach to improve grain yield in barley, vol. 13, pp. 4635-4646, 2014.

We used correlation and path coefficient analysis based on an ontogenetic approach to develop selection criteria in barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) for an early production system in Ethiopia. A total of 100 genotypes using 10 x 10-simple lattices with two replications were used to perform the experiment at Ambo and Asasa. The combined analysis of the measured traits showed significant differences among genotypes for all traits. A positive correlation was observed between grain yield and spike/m2, kernel number/spike, and 1000-kernel weight.

Characteristics of growth traits and their effects on body weight of G1 individuals in the mud crab (Scylla paramamosain)

W. Jiang, Ma, H. Y., Ma, C. Y., Li, S. J., Liu, Y. X., Qiao, Z. G., and Ma, L. B., Characteristics of growth traits and their effects on body weight of G1 individuals in the mud crab (Scylla paramamosain), vol. 13, pp. 6050-6059, 2014.

The mud crab (Scylla paramamosain) is considered a potentially important marine crab species for selective breeding. Here, we first examined sex ratio and differences in 16 growth traits between females and males in a G1 population of S. paramamosain, and we then analyzed the correlation between these growth traits and their effects on body weight (BW). Of these growth traits, nine were significantly different between sexes. In females, the correlation coefficients in all trait pairs ranged from 0.524 to 0.997.

Correlation of growth-related traits and their effects on body weight of the mud crab (Scylla paramamosain)

H. Y. Ma, Ma, C. Y., Ma, L. B., Xu, Z., Feng, N. N., and Qiao, Z. G., Correlation of growth-related traits and their effects on body weight of the mud crab (Scylla paramamosain), vol. 12, pp. 4127-4136, 2013.

In this study, we analyzed the correlation of 20 growth-related traits and their effects on body weight of Scylla paramamosain. The correlation coefficients in all trait pairs were significantly high, ranging from 0.551 to 0.999. Among 19 X-Y pairs, the correlation coefficient between traits X1 and Y was the highest, whereas that between X13 and Y was the lowest.
