Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsGenetic Diversity of Red Chittagong Cattle Using Randomly Amplified Polymorphic DNA MarkersMohammad Masud Rana Mufti, Mst. Parvin Mostari, Gautam Kumar Deb et al.Problem statement: Red Chittagong Cattle (RCC) is a potential genetic resource in Bangladesh having dairy potentialities, high resistance to disease and survive harse environmental condition while require low input supply. This resource is now disappearing due to indiscriminate crossing with other local and exotic cattle. To conserve this resource, find out the genetic diversity of RCC is prime concern. Approach: … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 17 Mar 2009 · 8,682 accessesView PDFCite
Review ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractGenomic Regions and Candidate Genes Associated With Semen Traits in Rams: A Systematic GWAS Review With Implications for South African Sheep BreedsNhlakanipho Sam Zulu, Khoboso Christine LehloenyaRam fertility is a key determinant of reproductive efficiency in sheep production systems, particularly under extensive and semi-extensive conditions prevalent in South Africa. Semen quality traits, including ejaculate volume, sperm concentration, motility, and cryotolerance, exhibit measurable genetic variation and are increasingly investigated using genomic approaches. This systematic review synthesizes evidence from three eligible Genome-Wide Association Studies (GWAS) analyses that have … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 21, Issue 3 · 26 Oct 2026 · 159 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPrincipal Component Analysis of the Female Pengging Soloan Duck Based on Morphometric TraitsRini Nur Hayati, Subiharta, Yudi Adinata et al.The Pengging Soloan duck is an emerging indigenous genetic resource from Central Java, Indonesia, recognized for its adaptability and egg-laying potential. However, its phenotypic characterization remains limited compared with established Indonesian duck breeds such as Mojosari, Tegal, and Magelang ducks. This study aimed to characterize 70 adult female Pengging Soloan ducks aged 5 6.5 months using Principal Component Analysis (PCA) … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 21, Issue 3 · 10 Sep 2026 · 952 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAnalysis of Morphological and Genetic Diversity of Fruit Flies (Bactrocera spp.) on Chili Plants in East Java, IndonesiaRudi Cahyo Wicaksono, Bambang Tri Raharjo et al.Fruit flies of the genus Bactrocera spp. are important pest that infests many horticultural crops, including chili. With a significant economic impact, the genetic diversity and population dynamics of this pest have not been widely explored. The purpose of this study was to understand the diversity of fruit flies that infest chili in East Java, Indonesia. Morphological characterization was validated … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 26, Issue 3 · 22 Aug 2026 · 935 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractClimate-Driven Productivity Responses and Implications for Genetic Adaptation and Breeding of Boreal Trees in KazakhstanZhadyra Baigazakova, Kuralay Mazarzhanova, Asset Satayev et al.Kazakhstan’s boreal and forest-steppe forests form the southern ecotonal edge of the West Siberian taiga, where relatively small changes in heat and moisture can trigger disproportionate impacts on tree growth, mortality, and regeneration. Although forests cover only ~4% of Kazakhstan, they provide critical ecosystem services: stabilizing hydrological regimes, buffering microclimates, protecting agricultural lands from wind and water erosion, and supporting … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 26, Issue 3 · 10 Aug 2026 · 711 accessesView PDFCite
Review ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractGoats’ Litter Size Concerning Bone Morphogenetic Protein 15 Gene VariationsTebogo Letsukulo Percy Thepa, Thobela Louis Tyasi, Jones Ng’ambiBone morphogenetic protein 15 (BMP15), a member of the transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) superfamily, plays essential roles in follicular development and ovulation. Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the BMP15 gene have been associated with litter size in multiple livestock species, yet no comprehensive systematic review has synthesized findings across goat breeds. This systematic review aimed to evaluate the association between … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 20, Issue 4 · 18 Feb 2026 · 1,411 accessesView PDFCite
Literature ReviewOpen accessIn the abstractSystematic Review of Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms of Cattle Beta-Lactoglobulin Gene and their Association with Milk Production TraitsThlarihani Cynthia Makamu, Thobela Louis TyasiThe application of molecular genetics technology to pinpoint certain DNA markers associated with commercially significant features is highly anticipated since it has the potential to enhance the effectiveness of breeding programs by selecting young animals early for use as future breeding stock. One of the main genes expressed in bovine milk is the Beta-Lactoglobulin Gene (βLG), and its polymorphism can … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 19, Issue 2 · 4 Mar 2024 · 5,816 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBreeding Progress in Mugalzhar Horses: The Irtysh Type as a Model for Meat Production EfficiencyAkimbekov Amin, Uskenov Rashit, Nurgulsim Kaster et al.The Mugalzhar horse breed holds significant value for meat production in Kazakhstan. Developed through targeted selection, the new Irtysh stud type demonstrates outstanding adaptation and productivity, with stallions reaching an average live weight of 486.1 kg and mares 463.4 kg, an increase of up to 73 kg compared to the original group. The coefficient of variation for live weight and … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 20, Issue 3 · 29 Nov 2025 · 2,617 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRandom Forest-Based Genome Analysis for Disease Association and SNP Marker IdentificationXiangdong LiuAt present, genomic data analysis has the problems of insufficient model interpretation and limited computational efficiency in disease association research. As a powerful machine learning algorithm, Random Forest has demonstrated excellent ability in processing complex and multi-dimensional data sets and has gradually become a popular tool in the field of bioinformatics. The purpose of this paper is to explore how … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 21, Issue 2 · 25 Jul 2025 · 5,536 accessesView PDFCite
Review ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractUnraveling the Mechanisms of Plant Structural Defenses against Insect PestsAroni Preya Biswas, Roksana Al Nafiu Insha, Md. Khairul Mazed et al.Plants employ a variety of physical, chemical, and genetic strategies to defend against herbivore attacks. These biochemical defense mechanisms are complex and dynamic, encompassing both direct and indirect responses. Defense-related chemicals, whether constitutive or induced by herbivore damage, significantly influence herbivore feeding behavior, growth, and survival. Plant defense systems impact herbivore nutrition, development, and survival, highlighting the importance of chemical … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 25, Issue 1 · 7 Jan 2025 · 5,796 accessesView PDFCite
