The aim of this research is to identify the DNA regions that underwent strong selection\u0000 during the domestication of the pig and to give an insight into the genetic diversity of the Polish wild boar and domestic pigs by implementing the genotyping-by-sequencing (GBS) technique. We studied two groups of animals: one consisted of domestic pigs (Landrace, Large White, Duroc, Puławska\u0000 and Pietrain), while the second group included wild boars from Poland. The filtered single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) panel used in this study included 7,298 markers that were spread across 18 porcine autosomes and unmapped contigs. The maximum-likelihood phylogenetic trees and multidimensional\u0000 scaling (MDS) clearly separated the populations of pigs from the wild boars. We also detected genome regions that demonstrated the most significant genetic differences between the domestic pigs and wild boars. These regions were distributed on eight different autosomes and overlapped with\u0000 48 different pig RefSeq genes. The KEGG pathway, Reactome and GO terms were further used to assign a functional significance to the identified genes that were associated with inter alia muscle development (MYOG, MEOX2), pre-weaning mortality stress (MYO7A) and sensory perception (TAS1R3).","PeriodicalId":50438,"journal":{"name":"Folia Biologica-Krakow","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2023-03-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45884553","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The aim of this paper is to study the diets of two coexisting\u0000 species: the native European perch Perca fluviatilis and the invasive Chinese sleeper. The fish were collected from a watercourse used for draining water from a fishing farm, located in the Nida River water system (Poland), using the electrofishing method. The captured fish were killed,\u0000 preserved in a 4% formaldehyde solution and the stomachs of the fish were dissected. Then, based on the materials collected from these stomachs, the abundance and taxonomic rankings of the individual diet components (quantity of individuals in the individual taxa) were determined. The overlap\u0000 of the P. fluviatilis and P. glenii feeding spectra was studied using a principal component analysis (PCA). The analysis of the data collected demonstrated that the diets of these two species overlaps considerably. At the same time, the analysis of the major diet components showed\u0000 that the niche used by P. fluviatilis is broader than that used by P. glenii. It seems that, due to its high level of plasticity, P. fluviatilis is able to withstand the pressures of P. glenii and is also able to limit its abundance. Both species frequently choose\u0000 fish as their prey, including juvenile common carp Cyprinus carpio Linnaeus, 1758, which indicates that together with native predators, P. glenii may pose a considerable threat to farmed juvenile Cyprinidae.","PeriodicalId":50438,"journal":{"name":"Folia Biologica-Krakow","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2023-03-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46367510","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The fish were collected by electrofishing from a boat or while wading. Non-native\u0000 gobiids were noted in 15 of the 18 tributaries studied. Among the 1,075 gobies caught, the western tubenose goby was the most common and occurred in 15 of the sites examined. The racer goby was registered in seven of the tributaries, while the monkey goby was recorded in only three. No round\u0000 goby was caught. The highest densities of the western tubenose goby and racer goby were noted in the small stream located directly downstream from the Włocławek Reservoir. Among the species identified, the western tubenose goby seems to be more eurytopic because it was the last\u0000 of these species to invade the Vistula River, but it is now the most widespread. In addition to a morphological identification of the fish, samples of each species were confirmed by an analysis of subunit I of the cytochrome oxidase (COI) barcode sequences. The genetic analysis of the COI\u0000 subunit revealed that this sequence is effective for the taxonomic differentiation of the Ponto-Caspian gobies occurring in Poland.

Importantly, the SVL of blue-spotted males reaches the magnitude of the average female size. This indicates that the presence of blue spots may involve\u0000 a correlated positive effect on growth and body size. The greater body size of the blue-spotted males could enhance their survival and mating success, and thus facilitate the continued presence of a high fraction of this morph within the population.

In this study, single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of the PRLR gene were performed, in order to test whether they are associated with the reproductive performance of Large White\u0000 pigs. In total, we discovered nine SNP loci (g. C260G, g. C362T, g. C527G, g. A540G, g. A584G, g. A673T, g. A745G, g. C765T and g. A934G) in exon 10 of PRLR. The result showed that genotypes CC and CT at the g. C362T locus and genotype AG at g. A584G could significantly increase the litter\u0000 size of different strains of Large White pigs (p < 0.05). In addition, the genotype CC at the g. C765T locus and the genotype AA at g. A934G could also increase the litter size (TNB could be increased by 1.5 piglets per year; while NBA could be increased by 0.98 piglets per year, p <\u0000 0.01). Furthermore, the haplotype combinations of H2H7 and H4H4 were the dominant combinations and contributed to larger litter sizes in the Large White pigs. In conclusion, there were dominant genotypes in the related SNP loci in the PRLR gene that were beneficial to improving the\u0000 litter traits of sows. These findings will provide a reference for screening the molecular markers of a high reproductive performance in sows, and are helpful for genetic breeding and the reproductive improvement of pigs.

However, the role and regulation of these proteases in the ovary of birds remain largely unknown. One of MT-MMPs, i. e., MMP-16, has been found in the hen ovary;\u0000 therefore, this study was undertaken to examine whether the transcript level of MMP-16 changes during follicle development and whether gonadotropins and estrogen are involved in the regulation of this enzyme expression. The relative expression of MMP-16 mRNA in the ovarian follicles (white,\u0000 yellowish, small yellow, and the granulosa and theca layers of three of the largest yellow preovulatory [F3-F1]) was examined 22 h and 3 h before F1 follicle ovulation as well as following equine chorionic gonadotropin (eCG) or tamoxifen (estrogen receptor modulator, TMX) treatments by quantitative\u0000 real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR). MMP-16 transcripts were detected in all examined ovarian tissues of control and treated hens. The relative expression of MMP-16 depended on follicular size/maturation and the layer of the follicular wall. A relatively higher expression of MMP-16\u0000 mRNA in the granulosa layer at 3 h compared to 22 h before ovulation of F1 was found. The injections of eCG decreased transcript abundance of MMP-16 in white and small yellow follicles, as well as in the theca layer of F3-F2 and the granulosa layer of the F1 follicle. In turn, TMX caused an\u0000 increase in mRNA expression of MMP-16 in the theca layer of the largest preovulatory follicles and a decrease in the granulosa layer of the F1 follicle. Our results provide the first mRNA expression analysis of MMP-16 in the hen ovary under different physiological states. In addition, results\u0000 indicate a possible role of gonadotropins and estrogen in regulating the transcription of MMP-16 in the chicken ovary.","PeriodicalId":50438,"journal":{"name":"Folia Biologica-Krakow","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2022-12-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47528213","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
