- Chinese Simmental cattle serve as an important dual-purpose breed in sustainable livestock systems. Despite their economic value, the genetic architecture underlying milk-production traits in this breed under temperate conditions remains poorly characterized. In this study, we estimated genetic parameters and identified associated genomic loci for 9 milk-production traits in a Chinese Simmental population. Our dataset consisted of 17,556 test-day records from 1,788 cows (parities 1 to 3), including whole-genome sequencing data for 781 individuals. Using a random regression test-day model with Legendre polynomials, we estimated variance components, heritabilities, breeding values (EBVs), and genetic correlations between different DIM. Heritability estimates ranged from 0.09 (fat-to-protein ratio) to 0.52 (protein percentage), with intermediate values for fat percentage (0.28), lactose percentage (0.35), and total milk solids (0.35). Within-lactation genetic correlations varied by trait, ranging from -0.88 to 0.99, with the strongest correlations between adjacent DIM, which weakened as intervals widened. Genome-wide association analysis (using the mixed linear model in SLEMM version 0.90.1) and Bayesian fine-mapping analysis identified significant SNPs near known candidate genes (BOP1, MROH1, NEGR1). These analyses also revealed putative novel associations with CACNB4, MTHFD2L, and SGMS1. Overall, the results enhance our understanding of the genetic regulation of milk production and provide practical targets for genomic selection to improve dairy performance in dual-purpose breeding programs. - Source: PubMed

Lou AijuCai YuZheng TuquanZhang LongHu YupengLi HuachiYing Lang - The genetic underpinnings of elite sprint and power performance remain largely elusive. This study aimed to identify genetic variants associated with this complex trait as well as to understand their functional implications in elite sprint and power performance. We conducted a multi-phase genome-wide association study (GWAS) in world-class sprint and power athletes of West African and East Asian ancestry and their geographically matched controls. We carried out genotype imputation, replications for the top GWAS signal rs10196189 in two European cohorts, and gene-based and tissue-specific functional network analyses. For the first time, we uncovered the G-allele of rs10196189 in the Polypeptide N-Acetylgalactosaminyltransferase 13 (GALNT13) being significantly associated with elite sprint and power performance (P = 2.13E-09 across the three ancestral groups). Moreover, we found that GALNT13 expression level was positively associated with the relative area occupied by fast-twitch muscle fibers in the vastus lateralis muscle. In addition, significant and borderline associations were observed for BOP1, HSF1, STXBP2, GRM7, MPRIP, ZFYVE28, CERS4, and ADAMTS18 in cross-ancestry or ancestry-specific contexts, predominantly expressed in the nervous and hematopoietic systems. From the elite athlete cohorts, we further identified thirty-six previously uncharacterized genes linked to host defence, leukocyte migration, and cellular responses to interferon-gamma, and four genes - UQCRFS1, PTPN6, RALY and ZMYM4 - associated with aging, neurological conditions, and blood disorders. Taken together, these results provide new biological insights into the genetic basis of elite sprint and power performance and, importantly, offer valuable clues to the molecular mechanisms underlying elite athletic performance, health and disease. - Source: PubMed

Zhang ZhiZhao TonglingMeng WeidaChen JiahaoHe ChengyiSun XingHuang Hai - The transition to reproductive development is a critical step in the plant lifecycle and relies on the integration of intrinsic and environmental signals. Several different pathways controlling flowering time function downstream of the perception of environmental cues such as day length (photoperiodic pathway) and seasonal temperature (vernalization and ambient temperature pathways). In addition, the phytohormone gibberellin (GA) induces the floral transition under noninductive photoperiod. In the model plant Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana), the transcriptional repressor VIVIPAROUS1/ABSCISIC ACID INSENTIVE3 (ABI3)-LIKE1 (VAL1) triggers the stable repression of the floral repressor FLOWERING LOCUS C (FLC) during vernalization. However, the involvement of VAL1 in other flowering pathways remains unclear. In this work, we combined genetic and transcriptomic approaches to investigate the requirement of VAL1 for flowering activation under different day lengths. We found that VAL1, but not its sister protein VAL2, is required to induce the floral transition both under long and short days. The delayed flowering time of val1 mutant plants was fully bypassed by exogenous GA application. We demonstrated that VAL1-mediated induction of flowering occurs partially via the direct epigenetic repression of the organ boundary genes BLADE-ON-PETIOLE1 (BOP1) and BOP2. Our work thus expands the repertoire of VAL target genes and further demonstrates the pleiotropic role of VAL factors in regulating Arabidopsis development. - Source: PubMed
