“…Table clearly shows a highly significant epistasis between the pair of the C haplotype of GH locus and the 24‐TG allele of GHSR1a.5′UTR‐(TG) n locus on C16:1 (negative), C18:1 (positive), MUFA (positive), SFA (negative), and MUFA/SFA (positive). Growth hormone reduces the activity of key enzymes in the lipogenic pathways (Scanes ). Furthermore, the central ghrelin/GHSR has been reported to regulate the peripheral lipid metabolism mainly in a GH‐independent fashion, because of increased activity levels of FA metabolism enzymes in rats (Sangiao‐Alvarellos et al .…”

Growth hormone secretagogue receptor 1a (GHSR1a), growth hormone (GH), growth hormone receptor (GHR), non-SMC condensin I complex, subunit G (NCAPG) and stearoyl-CoA desaturase (SCD), are known to play important roles in growth and lipid metabolisms. Single and epistatic effects of the five genes on carcass, price-related and fatty acid (FA) composition traits were analyzed in a commercial Japanese Black cattle population of Ibaraki Prefecture. A total of 650 steers and 116 heifers for carcass and price-related traits, and 158 steers for FA composition traits were used in this study. Epistatic effects between pairs of the five genes were found in several traits. Alleles showing strain-specific differences in the five genes had significant single and epistatic effects in some traits. The data suggest that a TG-repeat polymorphism of the GHSR1a.5'UTR-(TG) locus plays a central role in gene-gene epistatic interaction of FA composition traits in the adipose tissue of Japanese Black cattle.

“…Domestication of animals is one of the hallmarks of the development of civilization (Beck & Katcher, 1996). Among various utilities, animal products provide nutrition, transportation, companionship, entertainment and income (Scanes, 2003). An example of the use of this animal by Truká Natives is the production of body adornments that they will sell later in the urban centers surrounding their villages.…”

The use of by-products of wild animals for the production of handicrafts is a common practice among indigenous peoples. Natives prefer to hunt birds because of the beauty and diversity of their feathers. In the Brazilian Northeast, this practice involves several hunting techniques, according to the species type. This research aimed to list the species of birds used in the handicraft of the Truká indigenous people and to characterize the techniques used to capture birds employed by the native hunters in the four ethnic settlements in the backlands of Pernambuco and Bahia. The information was obtained through semi-structured interviews applied to 23 indigenous artisans, in the villages Truká of Cabrobó, Orocó, Sobradinho and Paulo Afonso. Four capture techniques, slingshots, firearms, and traps have been identified, such as the trap and the trapdoor. The traps are the most commonly used technologies in the study area. In addition to crafts, informants have indicated the use of bird species in food, traditional medicine and domestic breeding as pets.

“…Most earlier studies of growth focused on its physiological underpinnings at different organizational levels from molecular to cellular to tissue to whole organism (Scanes, 2003). Interest in exploring the genetic control of growth was initiated by quantitative genetic analyses (Atchley, 1984) and recently intensified with the advent of powerful molecular technologies (Cheverud et al , 1996).…”

Functional mapping of growth and development

Understanding how an organism develops into a fully functioning adult from a mass of undifferentiated cells may reveal different strategies that allow the organism to survive under limiting conditions. Here, we review an analytical model for characterizing quantitative trait loci (QTLs) that underlie variation in growth trajectories and developmental timing. This model, called functional mapping, incorporates fundamental principles behind biological processes or networks that are bridged with mathematical functions into a statistical mapping framework. Functional mapping estimates parameters that determine the shape and function of a particular biological process, thus providing a flexible platform to test biologically meaningful hypotheses regarding the complex relationships between gene action and development.
