Project description:Sex condition has been demonstrated to alter meat quality and sex is a major factor that affects the fatty acid composition of lipids of carcass dissectible or intramuscular depot fats. But the possible genetic molecular mechanism of gender causing meat quality differences is not well defined. Qinchuan cattle, Qinghai yak and Guangxi buffalo are three typical indigenous species of cattle in China. Obivious differences of meat quality exist among the three species of cattle. Few studies have been conducted to elucidate the muscle tissue expression of genes involved in pathways and mechanisms leading to meat quality differences beyond the phenotype properties of beef. Bovine Genome Arrays were used to construct muscle expression profiles of the longuissimus dorsi from Qinchuan cattle at 36 months and screen differentially expressed genes in the longuissimus dorsi muscle tissues among different genders of Qinchuan cattle, between Qinchuan cattle and Qinghai yak, and between Qinchuan cattle and Guangxi buffalo.

Project description:Oligonucleotide DNA microarrays were used as a platform to compare C. jejuni isolates from feedlot cattle and human clinical cases from Alberta. Comparative genomic hybridization (CGH) analysis was performed on 87 isolates (46 bovine, 41 human) obtained within the same geographical regions and time frame. In addition, We also performed gene association analysis to determine if any genes may be differentially distributed between human and cattle sources or between clusters dominated by either human or cattle isolates (“human enriched” vs “cattle enriched”).

Project description:Cultivation of canola at temperatures above the optimum growth temperature of 21°C for prolonged periods, especially during the flowering stage, resulted in several adverse effects, including rapid vegetative growth, reduced viability of female gametophytes, increased seed abortion rate, accelerated embryo development, and a reduction in seed oil composition (Young et al., 2004; Mácová et al., 2022; Secchi et al., 2023). One of the distinctive phenotypes observed during the seed development of certain canola cultivars subjected to prolonged heat stress affecting the seed yield is the occurrence of the pre-harvest sprouting phenotype (PHS) (Mácová et al., 2022). Misregulation of seed dormancy by abscisic acid and dormancy-related genes is thought to be the primary cause of PHS in many cereal crops (Benech-Arnold & Rodríguez, 2018; Tai et al., 2021). This phenotype is associated with seed coat rupture (SCR), observed in seeds during the early stages of maturation. In this study, we employed a multi-methodological approach to investigate the occurrence of SCR phenotype in seeds of Brassica napus cv. Topas. The results demonstrate that SCR occurs in seeds around 20 days after pollination (20DAP) when the plants are cultivated in elevated temperatures over an extended period. The unrestricted embryonic growth exerts pressure on the seed coat, as evidenced by a reduction in the thickness of the seed coat cell layers. This results in an early alteration to the cell wall composition, with an increased proportion of demethylesterified pectin, which is likely to stiffen the seed coat, thereby rendering it more susceptible to rupture. The precise mechanism by which accelerated embryo development influences heat stress-mediated seed development in canola plants has yet to be elucidated.

Project description:The development of biomarkers of fertility could provide benefits for the genetic improvement of dairy cows. Circulating small extracellular vesicles (sEVs) show promise as diagnostic or prognostic markers since their cargo reflects the metabolic state of the cell of origin; thus, they mirror the physiological status of the host. Here, we employed data-independent acquisition mass spectrometry to survey the plasma and plasma sEV proteomes of two different cohorts of Young (Peripubertal; n = 30) and Aged (Primiparous; n = 20) dairy cows (Bos taurus) of high- and low-genetic merit of fertility and known pregnancy outcomes (ProteomeXchange dataset identifier PXD042891). We established predictive models of fertility status, with an area under the curve of 0.97 (sEV; p value = 3.302e-07) and 0.95 (plasma; p value = 6.405e-08). Biomarker candidates unique to high-fertility Young cattle had a sensitivity of 0.77 and specificity of 0.67 (*p = 0.0287). Low-fertility biomarker candidates uniquely identified in sEVs from Young and Aged cattle had a sensitivity and specificity of 0.69 and 1.0, respectively (***p = 0.0005). Our bioinformatics pipeline enabled quantification of plasma and circulating sEV proteins associated with fertility phenotype. Further investigations are warranted to validate this research in a larger population, which may lead to improved classification of fertility status in cattle.

Project description:The fur of the common brushtail possum (Trichosurus vulpecula), a model marsupial, is lightweight, soft and has superior insulation properties. Two predominate fur colours exisit: grey or black. RNA-sequencing of skin from grey (n=3) and black (n=3) possums was performed to investigate gene expression changes between these colour morphs.

Project description:This project aimed to characterise the immune response of cattle to buffalo fly infestation using cattle serum samples. The cattle were phenotyped into two groups, high buffalo fly burden and low buffalo fly burden cattle, following exposure to buffalo flies. The SWATH analysis was sued to measure the relative abundance of proteins in serum samples of the two groups at different time points.
