Objective: The growth of pigs involves multiple regulatory mechanisms, and modern molecular breeding techniques can be used to understand the skeletal muscle growth and development to promote the selection process of pigs. This study aims to explore candidate lncRNAs and mRNAs related to skeletal muscle growth and development among Duroc pigs with different average daily gain (ADG). Methods: A total of 8 pigs were selected and divided into two groups: H group (high-ADG) and L group (low-ADG). And followed by whole transcriptome sequencing to identify differentially expressed (DE) lncRNAs and mRNAs. Results: In RNA-seq, 703 DE mRNAs (263 up-regulated and 440 down-regulated) and 74 DE lncRNAs (45 up-regulated and 29 down-regulated) were identified. In addition, 1,418 Transcription factors (TFs) were found. Compared with mRNAs, lncRNAs had fewer exons, shorter transcript length and open reading frame length. DE mRNAs and DE lncRNAs can form 417 lncRNA-mRNA pairs (antisense, cis and trans). DE mRNAs and target genes of lncRNAs were enriched in cellular processes, biological regulation, and regulation of biological processes. In addition, quantitative trait locus (QTL) analysis was used to detect the functions of DE mRNAs and lncRNAs, the most of DE mRNAs and target genes of lncRNAs were enriched in QTLs related to growth traits and skeletal muscle development. In single-nucleotide polymorphism/insertion-deletion (SNP/INDEL) analysis, 1,081,182 SNP and 131,721 INDEL were found, and transition was more than transversion. Over 60% of percentage were skipped exon events among alternative splicing events. Conclusion: The results showed that different ADG among Duroc pigs with the same diet maybe due to the DE mRNAs and DE lncRNAs related to skeletal muscle growth and development.

Heritability estimations of masu salmon smelt at underyearing of age were described. Masu salmon was taken from aquaculture station of Mori in Japan. After fertilization, the offsprings in each family were reared in separate egg trays and fingerling tanks. The percentage of fish in each tank which smoltified at 11-month old was recorded, and environmental and genetic factors influencing the percentage smoltification were also studied. Percentage of smoltification was not significantly affected by the number of fish held in a tank, or fish density (correlation coefficient 0.10). However, there was a high correlation ($0.821\~0.565$) between smelt percentage and growth related traits of fish in a family. Heritability estimated from total data was $0.47\pm0.13$, when effects of tanks were ignored.

질소비료 감비시 수량 감소의 요인과 관련 특성 개량 및 유전자탐색을 위한 유전자원을 제시하기 위해 153개 벼유전자원에 대한 수량 및 수량구성요소의 변이를 분석한 결과는 다음과 같다. 1. 공시된 유전자원은 질소비료 시비 수준이 9 kg/10a에서 4.5 kg/10a로 감소하였을 때 수량, 수량구성요소 및 주요농업형질은 유의한 차이를 나타내었으며, 이중 DTH, CL, PL, GYP, NPP 및 NSP는 1.8~17.9% 감소하였고 나머지 TGW, PRG는 2.6~11.2% 증가하였다. 2. 이원분산분석결과 GYP 및 수량구성요소인 NPP, PRG는 질소비료 시비 수준에 따른 유의성을 보였으나 수량 구성요소인 NSP와 TGW는 유의성이 없었다. 3. NN조건에서 NPP는 NSP (-0.44), TGW (-0.49)와 음의 상관관계를 보였고 TGW는 PRG (-0.34)와 음의 상관관계를 나타내었다. 이와는 반대로 GYP는 PRG (0.37)와 NSP (0.38)간에 양의 상관관계를 나타내었다. LN조건에서도 유사한 양상을 나타내었으나 NPP와 PRG (0.32)간에 양의 상관관계가 추가되었다. 4. 질소비료 감비시 수량 감소의 요인을 분석한 결과 LN조건에서 PA1은 NPP, TGW, PRG 가 높은 요인부하량을 보였는데 NPP의 감소는 TGW를 증가시키고 PRG는 감소시켰다. PA2에서는 NSP와 GYP가 높은 요인부하량을 보였고, NSP의 증가가 GYP를 증가시켰다. 5. 질소비료 감비시 NPP가 가장 높고 감소율은 가장 낮은 인디카형 중에서 NPP 또는 NSP가 높은 CHIEM CHANK외 7개 유전자원을 선발하였다. 6. 이 결과를 바탕으로 질소비료 감비시 수량이 감소하는 가장 큰 요인은 NPP와 NSP의 감소였는데 그 결과 수수형 또는 수중형인 질소비료 감비 적응 품종 육성을 통해 수량성을 유지시킬 수 있을 것으로 판단된다. 또한 선발된 CHIEM CHANK 외 7개 유전자원들은 질소비료 감비 적응 관련 특성 개량 및 유전자탐색을 위한 육종소재로서 이용될 수 있을 것이다.

In this paper, we would be searching for the complemental aspects in industrial relations of Korea compared with that of Japan. It is very reasonable that historical, geographical, and especially gene analysis data are almost identical, considering that the general evaluations to the motive of Japan's industry are $\ulcorner$the modernization of the tradition$\lrcorner$. Although it is reported Korea accomplished the high economic growth rate, the economic growth rate(efficiency) could not be continued. This reason looks like that Korean proper(eigen) traits(:Gene-ware) have been oppressed and concealed by social climate such as jealousy, stratagem and hatred, we can find one of this facts in the criminal and complaint numbers as social trust measurement. There are many cases that Korean industry was distorted by the superiority/inferiority relations, for examples, the loss of the native(eigen or proper) resources, a distorted introduction of the production method and the unfolding of the industry which be not related to the characteristics of region. In this reasons, Korean industry could not play the role of Human-ware function which activates Gene-ware or, Gene-Nascence. In this Human-ware aspects, Japanese characteristics, such as $\ulcorner$Getting the basic right$\lrcorner$ and $\ulcorner$Tendency to the origin$\lrcorner$, are to be useful in the Nascence of Gene-ware in Korean industry.

Goosegrass [Eleusine indica (L.) Gaertn] has been a nuisance to growers in Malaysia due to its increased resistance to commercial herbicides, rapid growth and dissemination, and interference with agricultural practices. In the course of developing an apt integrated management to control goosegrass, more information of this weed is needed. The aim of this study was to look into variations among the goosegrass ecotypes sampled throughout Malaysia from the aspects of genotype and phenotype. Sequence-related amplified polymorphism (SRAP) markers were employed in investigating the genetic diversity and relationships among the 18 goosegrass ecotypes. Consequently, 5 primer combinations amplified 13 fragments with the polymorphism rate of 69.23%. At 74% similarity, the ecotypes were clustered into 6 groups. Phenotypic variability of the goosegrass ecotypes was assessed by observing their morphology, growth and seed traits. Goosegrass ecotypes were sorted into 3 major groups at the genetic distance (DIST) of 0.37. Concurrences of the evaluated genetic distance, ecotypes with the closest and most distant relationships were assembled together in Group I which showed high variation even among ecotypes in the same group. Results obtained thus implied high molecular and morphological variations of the goosegrass ecotypes in Malaysia.

Objective: Luxi Black Head sheep (LBH) is the first crossbreed specialized for meat production and was developed by crossbreeding Black Head Dorper sheep (DP) and Small Tailed Han sheep (STH) in the farming areas of northern China. Research on the genomic variations and selection signatures of LBH caused by continuous artificial selection is of great significance for identifying the genetic mechanisms of important traits of sheep and for the continuous breeding of LBH. Methods: We explored the genetic relationships of LBH, DP, and several Mongolian sheep breeds by constructing phylogenetic tree, principal component analysis and linkage disequilibrium analysis. In addition, we analysed 29 whole genomes of sheep. The genome-wide selection signatures have been scanned with four methods: heterozygosity (H_P), fixation index (F_ST), cross-population extended haplotype homozygosity (XP-EHH) and the nucleotide diversity (𝜃_π) ratio. Results: The genetic relationships analysis showed that LBH appeared to be an independent cluster closer to DP. The candidate signatures of positive selection in sheep genome revealed candidate genes for developmental process (HoxA gene cluster, BCL2L11, TSHR), immunity (CXCL6, CXCL1, SKAP2, PTK6, MST1R), growth (PDGFD, FGF18, SRF, SOCS2), and reproduction (BCAS3, TRIM24, ASTL, FNDC3A). Moreover, two signalling pathways closely related to reproduction, the thyroid hormone signalling pathway and the oxytocin signalling pathway, were detected. Conclusion: The selective sweep analysis of LBH genome revealed candidate genes and signalling pathways associated with developmental process, immunity, growth, and reproduction. Our findings provide a valuable resource for sheep breeding and insight into the mechanisms of artificial selection.

Due to the strong influence of nitrogen(N) on plant productivity, a vast amount of N fertilizers is used to maximize crop yield. Over-use of N fertilizers leads to severe pollution of the environment, especially the aquatic ecosystem, as well as reducing farmer's income. Growing of N-efficient cultivars is an important prerequisite for integrated nutrient management strategies in both low- and high-input agriculture. Taking maize as a sample crop, this paper reviews the response of plants to low N stress, the physiological processes which may control N-use efficiency in low-N input conditions, and the genetic and molecular biological aspects of N-use efficiency. Since the harvest index(HI) of modern cultivars is quite high, further improvement of these cultivars to adapt to low N soils should aim to increase their capacity to accumulate N at low N levels. To achieve this goal, establishment and maintenance of a large root system during the growth period may be essential. To reduce the cost of N and carbon for root growth, a strong response of lateral root growth to nitrate-rich patches may be desired. Furthermore, a large proportion of N accumulated in roots at early growth stages should be remobilized for grain growth in the late filling stage to increase N-utilization efficiency. Some QTLs and genes related to maize yield as well as root traits have been identified. However, their significance in improving maize NUE at low N inputs in the field need to be elucidated.
