まとめ
1歳児の羊を選択するスキームIIは,土着の羊の繁殖プログラムにとって最高の遺伝的および経済的利益を提供します. この計画では 5%の選択率と1200頭の雌羊で 持続可能な家畜の生産性を最適化しています
科学分野:
- 動物 育種 と 遺伝 学
- 定量遺伝学
- 畜産システム
背景:
- 畜産の生産性の持続的な改善は 効果的な繁殖プログラムに依存しています
- 低投入のシステムにおける先住民の羊は 適した遺伝子改良戦略を必要とします
- 遺伝的利益と経済的利益の最適化には 異なる育種方法を評価することが重要です
研究 の 目的:
- 国産の羊の3つの異なる育種計画の効率を評価する.
- 選択の割合と群れの大きさの遺伝的改善への影響を決定する.
- 低投入システムにおける持続可能な遺伝的強化に最も適した育種計画を特定する.
主な方法:
- SelActionソフトウェアで決定的アプローチを使用して選択応答のシミュレーション.
- 一段階 (スキームI&II) と二段階 (スキームIII) の選択スキームの評価
- 選択の割合 (5~20%) と群れの大きさ (600~2400頭の雌羊) を問わず評価する.
主要な成果:
- スキムII (年の選択) は,年の体重 (0.268-0.399kg) の年間遺伝的増加を示した.
- スキムIIは最も高い経済的利益をもたらし,スキムIを34%,スキムIIIを16%上回った.
- 選択の割合は遺伝的反応と近親交配に 大きく影響し 群れの大きさは近親交配を減少させた.
結論:
- 1歳児の年齢選択を活用するスキームIIは,先住民の羊の遺伝的および経済的改善に最適です.
- 計画IIでは,5%の選択比率と1200頭の繁殖羊の群れを推奨しています.
- この発見は,低投入システムに対するSCHEME IIの運用可能性と遺伝的/経済的利益を支持する.

Crop cultivation has a long history in human civilization, with records showing the cultivation of cereal plants beginning at around 8000 BC. This early plant breeding was developed primarily to provide a steady supply of food.

Cloning of Dolly the Sheep

The first successfully cloned mammal was Dolly, a sheep, born on 5th July 1996 at Roslin Institute, Scotland. The cloned sheep was named after the American singer Dolly Parton. Dolly lived for seven years and died of respiratory complications, which is speculated to be due to the actual age of her DNA. Because the DNA in cloned cells belongs to an older individual, the cloned individual’s life expectancy may be affected. Indeed, analysis of Dolly’s DNA revealed shorter...

Background and Environment Affect Phenotype
6.7K
Although the genetic makeup of an organism plays a major role in determining the phenotype, there are also several environmental factors, such as temperature, oxygen availability, presence of mutagens, that can alter an organism’s phenotype.
An example of how genetic background affects phenotype can be seen in horses. The Extension gene in horses is responsible for their coat color. A wild-type gene (EE) produces black pigment in the coat, while a mutant gene (ee) produces red pigment. A...

Production Efficiency
17.0K
Net production efficiency (NPE) is the efficiency at which organisms assimilate energy into biomass for the next trophic level. Due to low metabolic rates and less energy spent on thermoregulatory processes, the NPE of ectotherms (cold-blooded animals) is 10 times higher than endotherms (warm-blooded animals).

Incomplete Dominance
25.4K
Gregor Mendel's work (1822 - 1884) was primarily focused on pea plants. Through his initial experiments, he determined that every gene in a diploid cell has two variants called alleles inherited from each parent. He suggested that amongst these two alleles, one allele is dominant in character and the other recessive. The combination of alleles determines the phenotype of a gene in an organism.

Inclusive Fitness
36.3K
Most altruistic behavior—in which one animal helps another at a cost to themselves—occurs between relatives. Scientists think these altruistic behaviors evolved because they increase the inclusive fitness of the animal providing help.
