Molecular markers for late blight resistance breeding of potato: an update     

Jagesh K. Tiwari  Sundaresha Siddappa  Bir Pal Singh  Surinder K. Kaushik  Swarup K. Chakrabarti  Vinay Bhardwaj  Poonam Chandel 《Plant Breeding》2013,132(3):237-245

Late blight is the most devastating disease of the potato crop that can be effectively managed by growing resistant cultivars. Introgression of resistance (R) genes/quantitative trait loci (QTLs) from the Solanum germplasm into common potato is one of the plausible approaches to breed resistant cultivars. Although the conventional method of breeding will continue to play a primary role in potato improvement, molecular marker technology is becoming one of its integral components. To achieve rapid success, from the past to recent years, several R genes/QTLs that originated from wild/cultivated Solanum species were mapped on the potato genome and a few genes were cloned using molecular approaches. As a result, molecular markers closely linked to resistance genes or QTLs offer a quicker potato breeding option through marker‐assisted selection (MAS). However, limited progress has been achieved so far through MAS in potato breeding. In near future, new resistance genes/QTLs are expected to be discovered from wild Solanum gene pools and linked molecular markers would be available for MAS. This article presents an update on the development of molecular markers linked to late blight resistance genes or QTLs by utilization of Solanum species for MAS in potato.  相似文献   

Regeneration of tree species in the sub-tropical forest of Alaknanda Valley, Garhwal Himalaya, India     

Radha BALLABHA  J. K. TIWARI  P. TIWARI 《中国林学(英文版)》2013,15(2):89-97

We studied the regeneration of tree species in the sub-tropical forest of Alaknanda Valley in Garhwal Himalaya, India. The overall regeneration status was fairly good in the study area. Seedling density ranged between 520 and 1,240 seedlings per ha while the density of saplings varied between 400 and 800 saplings per ha. Out of eight sites studied, five sites, viz., A1 , A2 , B1 , B2and C2contained the highest number of seedlings (280-480 per ha) and saplings (200-440 per ha) for Pinus roxburghii and remaining three sites viz., C1, D1and D2represented the highest number of seedlings (240-400 per ha) and saplings (200-240 per ha) for Anogeissus latifolius. The DBH class distribution of the tree species revealed that the highest number of individuals was concentrated in the lower diameter classes while smallest numbers were found in the higher diameter classes. Species such as Acacia catechu, Anogeissus latifolius, Dalbergia sissoo, Engelhardtia spicata, Lannea coromandelica, Mallotus philippensis and Pinus roxburghii have the largest number of saplings and seedlings in the lower DBH classes, suggesting that they have good regeneration potential. Other species such as Aegle marmelos, Bauhinia variegata, Bombax ceiba, Cassia fistula, Erythrina variegata, Haldinia cordifolia, Mangifera indica, Ougeinia oojeinensis, Phyllanthus emblica, Syzygium cumini, Terminalia alata and Toona hexandra have either no or very small number of saplings in the lower DBH classes, which indicates that the status of these species implies poor regeneration.  相似文献   

Postpartum Ovarian Activity in South Asian Zebu Cattle     

PS Brar  AS Nanda 《Reproduction in domestic animals》2008,43(S2):207-212

Timely onset of postpartum ovarian activity is vital for optimal reproductive performance of dairy cows. Much depends upon genetic constitution of an animal although several factors interplay to govern the onset of postpartum ovarian activity. South Asian zebu cattle have much longer service period when compared with other exotic or crossbred cattle reared in the same Asian environment, which suggests differences in their genetic makeup. However, the cows with same genetic configuration expressed better reproductive potential when reared under different environment, such as in Brazil and Mexico, which suggests the role of extrinsic factors such as management, nutrition, environment and disease conditions. Better management of animals (provision of proper shade, water and housing, efficient oestrous detection and timely insemination), good quality nutrition supplemented with appropriate minerals and vitamins, prevention of diseases (vaccination, deworming, suitable therapeutic interventions) and application of biotechnology have helped in improving postpartum ovarian activity and, therefore, reproductive performance of zebu cattle in Asia. No comprehensive study appears to have been carried out on the various aspects of reproduction in zebu cattle reared under South Asian socio-agro-climatic conditions. This paper is a modest effort to collect what ever information available and to critically review the postpartum ovarian activity in zebu cattle with special reference to the effect of the various managemental practices and pharmacological interventions.  相似文献   

Identification of bovine viral diarrhea virus type 1 in yaks (Bos poephagus grunniens) in the Himalayan region     

Mishra N  Vilcek S  Rajukumar K  Dubey R  Tiwari A  Galav V  Pradhan HK 《Research in veterinary science》2008,84(3):507-510

Since cattle are widely infected by bovine viral diarrhea virus (BVDV) in India, we searched for pestivirus infection in yaks. Of 71 pure and crossbred yaks from Himalayan region, pestivirus antigen was detected by Ag-ELISA in three animals. Pestivirus in leukocyte and cell culture isolated virus samples originating from positive yaks was also confirmed by RT-PCR using panpestivirus specific primers selected from 5'-untranslated region (5' UTR). The 5' UTR, N(pro) and E2 regions were sequenced and used for genetic typing. Phylogenetic analysis revealed that pestiviruses detected in three Himalayan yaks were similar genetically, belonging to BVDV-1. Antigenic characterisation of yak pestivirus also confirmed the typing as BVDV-1. This is the first report on the identification of BVDV type 1 in yaks.  相似文献   

Se18.9, an anti-phagocytic factor H binding protein of Streptococcus equi     

Tiwari R  Qin A  Artiushin S  Timoney JF 《Veterinary microbiology》2007,121(1-2):105-115

Evasion of phagocytosis is an important virulence determinant of Streptococcus equi (S. equi subsp. equi), the cause of equine strangles and distinguishes it from the closely related but much less virulent S. zooepidemicus (S. equi subsp. zooepidemicus). We describe Se18.9, a novel H factor binding protein secreted by S. equi but not by S. zooepidemicus that reduces deposition of C3 on the bacterial surface and significantly reduces the bactericidal activity of equine neutrophils suspended in normal serum for both S. equi and S. zooepidemicus. Se18.9 is secreted abundantly by actively dividing cells and is also bound to the bacterial surface. Strong serum and mucosal antibody responses are elicited in S. equi infected horses. Although a gene identical to se18.9 was not detected in S. zooepidemicus, sequences encoding proteins of similar size with similar signal peptide sequences were found in 3 of 12 randomly selected strains. Since Se18.9 is unique to S. equi, and immunoreactive with convalescent sera and mucosal IgA, it has potential for immunodiagnosis and for study of mucosal antibody response to S. equi.  相似文献
