Application of genome-wide association studies in channel catfish to identify QTL associated with hypoxia tolerance

Wang, Xiaozhu (2017-03-07)

Catfish is the dominant aquaculture species in the United States. The production of the domestic catfish industry rapidly increased in the last two decades. However, as imported catfish from Southeast Asia have kept ...

Application of molecular and bioinformatics approaches for sensory and quality attributes improvement in peanuts (Arachis hypogaea L.)

Jiang, Tao (2019-12-10)

As more consumers are paying attention to food quality and nutrients, obtaining desirable flavor and quality attributes become an important breeding objective for peanut. In this study, 120 accessions from the US Mini-core ...

Assembly and Annotation of the Channel Catfish Transcriptome and Assessment of Pervasive Expression

Jiang, Chen (2015-12-10)

For a long period of time, it was widely believed that only a small fraction of the genome is transcribed, and researchers were mainly focused on studying expression of protein-coding genes. In the last a few years, pervasive ...

Chemokine ccl33 is a key regulator of fish barbel development

Zhou, Tao (2017-07-22)

Barbels are integumentary sense organ that can be found in fishes, reptiles and amphibians. Barbel structures are relatively simple, consisting of central rod of cartilage, nerve trunk, artery and taste bud. The cell types ...

A Comparison of Morphological Maturity Methods in Upland Cotton for the Optimization of Crop Production and Breeding Systems

Peavy, Elliott (2021-12-03)

The indeterminacy of upland cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) necessitates methods for evaluating its reproductive status and progress. There is no universally accepted agronomic method for assessing cotton maturity and the ...

Comparisons Among Channel Catfish Ictalurus punctatus, Blue Catfish I. furcatus, Channel ♀ × Blue ♂ Hybrid Catfish and Transgenic Channel Catfish for Growth, Cold and Salinity Tolerance

Youssef, Nermeen (2017-04-12)

Two studies were performed related to salinity tolerance and the potential effect of climate change on genetic choices for catfish farming. The first study examined the growth rate and survival rate among channel catfish ...

Disease Resistance of Different Genetic Types of Channel Catfish, Ictalurus punctatus, Female × Blue Catfish, I. furcatus, Male Hybrid Catfish

Dong, Sheng (2016-05-03)

Eleven genetic types, Kansas Random × Rio Grande, Kansas Select × Rio Grande, 103KS × Rio Grande, Marion Select × Rio Grande, 103 KS × B, Marion Select × B, Auburn-Rio Grande × B, 103KS × D&B, Kansas Random × D&B, Marion ...

Epigenomic and transcriptomic alterations of channel catfish exposed to DNA methyltransferase inhibitor and estradiol

Wang, Wenwen (2021-07-23)

Teleost fish exhibit a great level of diversity of sex determination. With channel catfish (Ictalurus punctatus), a lower teleost, sex determination genes have not been identified. However, the sex determination region ...

Evaluation of Integrated Weed Management and Herbicide Tolerance in Peanut-Cotton Rotation

Price, Katilyn (2021-07-13)

As resistant weeds such as Palmer amaranth (Amaranthus palmeri L.) continue to spread through the Southeast, peanut-cotton producers are forced to utilize herbicides which pose a greater risk to injuring crops to control ...

Evolution of target-based resistance mechanism to acetyl-coenzyme A carboxylase herbicides in Digitaria ciliaris

Basak, Suma (2021-07-16)

Digitaria ciliaris (Retz.) Koeler (southern crabgrass) is an annual grass weed of the southern United States, commonly infests all crops, non-crops, and even in turf. This grass is historically controlled in both crop and ...

Factors Affecting the Frequency of Oversized and Undersized Channel Catfish, Ictalurus punctatus, ? X Blue Catfish, I. furcatus, ? Hybrid Catfish at Food Fish Harvest and their Economic Impact

Gosh, Kamal (2018-07-19)

Hybrid catfish (channel catfish, Ictalurus punctatus, ♀ x blue catfish, I. furcatus, ♂) farming is a prime example of yield intensification but has witnessed growth variability problem. Investigating the causative factors ...

Genetic analysis of loci controlling heat tolerance and ESC disease resistance in catfish

Jin, Yulin (2018-07-25)

Catfish is one of the main aquaculture species in the US. However, the catfish industry is under the threat of various of environmental stresses and diseases, with heat stress and ESC are two major representatives. One ...

Genome Wide Association Study (GWAS) on Root-Knot Nematode Resistance in Cultivated Peanut

Kumral, Fulya Eda (2019-07-16)

The peanut root-knot nematode, Meloidogyne arenaria, is one of the major soil-borne pests for peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.). It causes economic losses in the production of peanut in the southeastern region, especially in ...

Improving Drought Stress Tolerance of Peanut Using PGPR and Orange Peel Amendment

Bagwell, John (2020-07-31)

Peanut provides approximately $4 billion to the US economy. Drought lowers that amount with disease and nutrition and yield loss. Due to a rising global population, less water will be available for agriculture. Inoculating ...

Integration of physiological and molecular approaches for selecting peanut genotypes with superior drought tolerant and nitrogen fixation traits

Wang, Xu (2019-12-10)

The vulnerability of peanut to drought varies depending on physiological characteristics, crop growth stages, and environmental conditions. This study examined the effects of drought stress on symbiotic nitrogen fixation ...
