Research ArticleOpen accessPhrase in the titleCattle Breeding Programs and Trait Preferences in EthiopiaMohammed Endris Seid, Kefelegn Kebede Kefenie et al.The success of livestock breeding programs depend on the active involvement of smallholder farmers, pastoralists, and agro-pastoralists in shaping breeding objectives and identifying key trait preferences based on specific production goals. This study aimed at assessing the relative importance of cattle-keeping objectives and trait preferences across mixed crop-livestock, pastoral, and agro-pastoral production systems in Ethiopia. We collected data from 180 … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 20, Issue 2 · 9 Jun 2025 · 4,357 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsTolerance of Accessions of Glagah (Saccharum spontaneum) to Drought Stress and Their Accumulation of ProlineAminatun Munawarti, Taryono, Endang Semiarti et al.Glagah (wild sugarcane, Saccharum spontaneum) is a perennial grass that grows well in marginal soils. It has a high carbohydrate and fibre content, making it suitable for ethanol production and the study industry. Thus, glagah has potential as a crop species in its own right and may also be used in sugarcane breeding programs. However, glagah germplasm has not been … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 1 · 4 Feb 2013 · 7,876 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractIntegrated Analysis of Transcriptomic and Metabolomic Responses in Rice Resisting False SmutYanmin Yu, Haiying Liu, Hongtao Wu et al.Rice false smut, caused by Ustilaginoidea virens, is an important fungal disease that reduces both grain yield and quality. To dissect the molecular basis of resistance, we combined transcriptome sequencing and metabolite profiling in resistant and susceptible rice cultivars. Transcriptome sequencing revealed more than 8,500 genes with altered expression patterns after infection, while metabolite profiling detected over 700 significantly changed … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 22, Issue 3 · 27 Aug 2026 · 1,057 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractIn vitro Polyploid Induction in Phalaenopsis Aphrodite by PendimethalinPrasetyorini Djarot, Deden Sukmadjaja, Fadya Annisa Chaesarani, SukonoPhalaenopsis aphrodite is a type of orchid with high ornamental and economic value. However, its development for commercial needs in Indonesia is still hindered by the limited availability of varieties. Therefore, enhancing genetic diversity is necessary, one of which is through polyploid induction. Several previous studies reported that pendimethalin effectively duplicates the chromosome numbers of various plant species. The aim … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 26, Issue 3 · 22 Aug 2026 · 854 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 · 709 accessesView PDFCite
Literature ReviewOpen accessIn the abstractPhenotypic, Reproductive and Genomic Perspectives on the Status and Research Gaps of South African Bosvelder SheepNhlakanipho Sam Zulu, Khoboso Christine Lehloenya, Khanyisile Hadebe et al.The South African Bosvelder sheep is an emerging composite sheep developed from indigenous Bapedi and commercial White Dorper and Van Rooy sheep. Despite its reported adaptability and production potential under bushveld conditions, the sheep remains scientifically under-characterized and is not formally recognized within national breeding frameworks. This narrative review evaluates the current state of knowledge regarding phenotypic, reproductive, and genomic … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 21, Issue 2 · 1 Jul 2026 · 1,242 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAnalysis of the Cytogenetic Status, Genome Instability, and Adaptive Potential of the Kazakh Tobet DogOksana Cherednichenko, Anastassiya Pilyugina, Dinara Azizbekova et al.In recent years, interest in indigenous dog breeds has increased. The Tobet is a unique breed of Kazakh livestock guardian dogs adapted to nomadic pastoralism that developed over thousands of years across Central Asia and Turkestan. Currently, the Tobet breed faces critical endangerment. Its conservation and sustainable breeding require thorough analysis of hereditary characteristics, genome stability, and adaptive potential. In … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 20, Issue 4 · 19 Feb 2026 · 1,891 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 · 1,405 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAssessment of Phenotypic Plasticity in Dairy Production Traits of Toggenburg Goat Genotypes Across South African Agro-ecological ZonesMatshebuka Tshepho, Obert Tada, Louis Thobela TyasiThe study evaluated phenotypic plasticity (PP) in reproductive and milk production traits of Toggenburg (TOG) goat genotypes across five South African agro-ecological zones (AEZ) using a longitudinal observational design. Data from 2,417 does representing five genotypes (Founders, CP, Appendix A, Appendix B, and StudBook Proper) were sourced from the Milch Breeders Society of South Africa LOGIX database. Descriptive statistics and … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 20, Issue 3 · 25 Nov 2025 · 2,378 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 · 5,811 accessesView PDFCite
