Indigenous cattle biodiversity in India: Adaptation and conservation

Indigenous breeds of cattle are suitable for varying climatic conditions of the tropical environment by virtue of a series of species-specific traits and adaptive strategies. Such traits and adaptive...

Study on mate choice in animals

Sexual selection is critical to animal reproduction. Mate choice not only determines an individual's capacity for reproduction but is also the primary mode of selection in sexual selection. Mate choice...

Captive breeding practices and insights on four indigenous Betta species of Sarawak

Sarawak, located on the island of Borneo, is home to several indigenous Betta species, many of which face threats from habitat degradation. Despite their ecological and ornamental significance, limited...

Successful live births after Chinese herbal medicine treatment on a patient of advanced maternal age with severe diminished ovarian reserve: A case report

The fecundity of women decreases significantly beginning approximately at age 35 and decreases more rapidly after age 40. Age affects not only the size of the oocyte pool but also the quality of germ...

Therapeutic potential of carnitine and N-Acetyl-Cysteine supplementation on sperm parameters and pregnancy outcomes in idiopathic male infertility: A systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized control trials

This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to evaluate the impact of L-carnitine (LC), L-acetyl-carnitine (LAC), and N-acetyl-cysteine (NAC) on sperm parameters and pregnancy outcomes in men with...

Generation of fast-growth grass carp by mutation of mstnb via CRISPR/Cas9 system

Myostatin (mstn) is a highly conserved negative regulator of myogenesis and myofiber growth in vertebrates. In recent years, the CRISPR/Cas9 (Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats)...

Current status and application of largemouth bass (Micropterus salmoides) germplasm resources

Largemouth bass (Micropterus salmoides, LB) is an important aquaculture and fishing species in the world. LB has been introduced into China since 1983, and its aquaculture production has increased year...

Advancements in breeding technologies for enhancing mustard yield and stress resilience: A comprehensive review

Mustard (Brassica juncea) is a major oilseed crop, yet its yield and stability are constrained by a narrow genetic base and increasing biotic and abiotic stresses under changing climates. Although substantial...

Development of fisheries in China

Fisheries is a social production sector that captures and farms fish and other aquatic animals and plants for aquatic products. In a broad sense, fisheries also include upstream departments (e.g., manufacturing,...

Genetic variability, heritability and genetic advance in Iranian local rice genotypes for yield, and some agronomic traits

Rice (Oryza sativa L.) is a cornerstone of global food security, providing 20 % of the world's dietary energy and serving as a staple for half the global population. In Iran, rice supports food supply...

Culture conditions for in vitro maturation of oocytes – A review

The maturation of oocytes external to the body is referred to IVM and is utilised by many different species. IVM bypasses traditional superovulation methods, where several hormonal injections are administered....

Progress on stress resistance breeding in fish

With the continuing development of the aquaculture industry, the stress associated with many environmental factors has severely restricted the growth of fish, reduced fish resistance to disease, and...

Assessment of genetic variation, heritability, and genetic advance among elite sorghum [Sorghum bicolor (L) Moench] genotypes for yield and yield associated traits under moisture stress areas

In dry lowland regions of the world, sorghum (Sorghum bicolor (L) Moench) is a significant crop extensively farmed for food, feed, fodder, and fuel. Despite extensive breeding work, sorghum production...

Semen characteristics, freezability, and application of motility-based protein markers (proAKAP4) in assessing the suitability of superior Bali bulls (Bos sondaicus) at the Regional AI Center

The use of molecular markers in selecting superior bulls, including Bali bulls, for the AI program will significantly increase reproductive efficiency and affect the economic aspects of several countries,...

From bench to bedside: Mouse models in translating infertility research to clinical applications in assisted reproduction

The use of animal models, principally mice, has been instrumental in advancing our understanding of reproductive biology. Mice serve as a powerful tool due to their genetic and physiological similarities...

Human breast organoid models for lactation research

The human mammary gland is the major organ involved in lactation. In the mammary gland, alveoli secrete milk and myoepithelial cells contract to propel the milk through branched structures called ducts...

Exploring phenotypic variability in quantitative and qualitative traits in F2 population of local red rice

Red rice is nutrient-dense, yet local varieties display suboptimal ideotypes characterized by prolonged growth duration, susceptibility to lodging, and open panicles with reduced grain count, constraining...

Impact of NPK, FYM and Vermicompost on growth and yield of radish (Raphanus sativus L.)

An investigation was conducted at the Horticulture field Invertis University, Bareilly with a study “Impact of NPK, FYM and Vermicompost on growth and yield of radish (Raphanus sativus L.)” during rabi...

Determination of pollen viability and germination in banana (Musa acuminata) diploids under humid tropical conditions

Genetic improvement of banana (Musa acuminata) is essential to overcome the challenges that limit its sustainable production, including critical diseases such as Fusarium tropical race 4 (Foc TR4) and...

Improvement and application of genetic resources of grass carp (Ctenopharyngodon idella)

Grass carp was an important economic fish for freshwater aquaculture. The exploring and utilization of high-quality grass carp germplasm resources were important for ensuring a domestic supply of high-quality...

Genome-wide analysis of population structure and genetic diversity in two Ethiopian native sheep populations

Indigenous Ethiopian sheep inhabit diverse environmental conditions and hold distinct morphological traits, including variations in tail phenotypes. Characterizing their genetic diversity is crucial...

A conserved role of the N6-methyladenosine (m6A) modification in spermatogenesis

Epitranscriptomics is an emerging field that addresses questions about the way RNA modifications affect gene expression. There are numerous known RNA modifications with N6-methyladenosine (m6A) being...

Impact of photoperiod and temperature on melatonin, growth hormone, estradiol, and vitellogenin levels in female African catfish (Clarias gariepinus) reproduction cycle

This study aimed to investigate the hormone levels of melatonin (Mel), estradiol (E2), vitellogenin (VTG), and growth hormone (GH) in inducing reproduction cycles in female African catfish, Clarias...

Comparative analysis of intermuscular bones in hybrid of female (megalobrama amblycephala × culter alburnus) × male megalobrama amblycephala and its parents

Based on the formation of the hybrid lineage of blunt-snout bream (megalobrama amblycephala, BSB) × topmouth culter (culter alburnus, TC), a new kind of hybrid fish is produced by hybridizing the female...

Innovation of carp germplasm and its research progress

The artificial breeding of carp existed in China 8000 years ago. The breeding of carp played an important role in ancient Chinese history, and it still played a crucial role in modern aquaculture. The...
