    Author : Maksatbek Amanov; [2012]
    Keywords : Alfalfa; genetic diversity; Kyrgyzstan; microsatellite; SSR; synthetic variety;

    Abstract : Cultivated alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) is an allogamous autotetraploid species with 2n = 4x = 32 chromosomes. Alfalfa is the most cultivated forage legume in the world mainly due to its wide adaptation to diverse environmental conditions and efficient nitrogen fixation ability. Kyrgyzstan is among the major alfalfa producing countries. READ MORE

  5. 4. Linkage mapping of phenotypic markers and marker identification in MHC in a cross between red junglefowl and Obese strain chicken

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Animal Breeding and Genetics

    Author : Malin Lindåse; [2007]
    Keywords : chicken; feather colour; mapping; MHC; molecular marker;

    Abstract : Målet med detta projekt var att i en korsning mellan röd djungelhöna och Obese strain höna kartlägga, med kopplingsanalys, de fenotypiska markörerna fjäderdräktsfärg, fjädermönster och benfärg samt att identifiera en informativ markör i major histocompatibility complex (MHC). Den röda djungelhönan anses vara anfadern till dagens domesticerade höna och Obese strain hönan utvecklar spontan autoimmun tyroidit och är modelldjur för den humana sjukdomen Hashimotos tyroidit.
