Whole-Genome Resequencing of Red Junglefowl and Indigenous Village Chicken Reveal New Insights on the Genome Dynamics of the Species
The red junglefowl Gallus gallus is the main progenitor of domestic chicken, the
commonest livestock species, outnumbering humans by an approximate ratio of six
to one. The genetic control for production traits have been ...
Mitochondrial DNA variation reveals maternal origins and demographic dynamics of Ethiopian indigenous goats
The Horn of Africa forms one of the two main historical entry points of domestics
into the continent and Ethiopia is particularly important in this regard. Through the
analysis of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) d-loop
region ...
Resilience assessment of Socio-Ecological Systems in MENA Region: An Application of Tri-Capital Framework in Jordan, Tunisia and Morocco
Drylands of MENA regions have diverse agricultural production systems that are embedded under
more global social-ecological systems (SESs). In order to meet population needs, food production
intensification schemes in this ...
Polymorphisms in MC1R and ASIP Genes are Associated with Coat Color Variation in the Arabian Camel
Pigmentation in mammals is primarily determined by the distribution of eumelanin and
pheomelanin, the ratio of which is mostly controlled by the activity of melanocortin 1 receptor
(MC1R) and agouti signaling protein (ASIP) ...
Report on Protocol for Data Collection and Image Processing Targeting Rangeland & Grassland and Cultivated Crops
In support of dryland ecosystem services, particularly forage production and soil conservation research at ICARDA, the Environmental Tomography Lab of the Department of Agriculture, Veterinary, and Rangeland Science (AVRS) ...
Effects of Climate Change and Grazing Pressure on Shrub Communities of West Asia, the case of Atriplex leucoclada community in the Syrian Rangelands
Climate change has been considered a primary global environmental threat that will alter the distribution and abundance of plant populations worldwide. As a result, ecological models provide valuable insight into the ...
