Abstract

Seeking to promote the earliness traits in apples (Malus × domestica Borkh.), this study evaluated 246 half-sib descendants of their mature trees for pheno-morphology, pomological, and sensory attributes. From a productivity criterion, the gene pool performance ranked in 12 resistance and susceptibility classes to spring frost. The two selected groups comprised five and 23 descendants, assigned by high and moderate tolerance in 2019. In the following season, assessing 246 progenies for bloom intensity led to the selection of 80 outstanding hybrids. The earliness traits showed a high promotion of the appearance of new classes of earliness. The ripening time distribution of the bearing progenies consisted of six categories, namely, four extra-early (June 5 to 17), 18 far-early (June 22 to 30), 22 very early (July 2 to 9), 21 very early-early (July 11), nine early plus to control (July 19), and six progenies (July 25). Subsequent pomological and sensory analyses led to the choice of 18 progenies for high fruit set, well-formed fruits, different colors, and superior organoleptic qualities. The results authenticated the efficiency of breeding methods, supported by heritability and morphological markers to predict the earliness traits. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

Pigment epithelium-derived factor (PEDF) is evolving as metabolic regulatory protein. Albeit mostly considered in only pathological conditions related to excess energy intake resulting in obesity and insulin resistance, PEDF is likely to be involved in other physiological processes such as the homeorhetic adaptation of metabolism to lactation. We aimed to characterize the expression of PEDF and its association to the concomitant mobilization of body reserves during lactation in nonobese subjects. This mobilization is particularly distinct in dairy cows, and we therefore assessed the mRNA expression of PEDF and its putative receptors in different tissues in 2 trials with dairy cows fed with or without conjugated linoleic acids (CLAs). Conjugated linoleic acids depress milk fat synthesis and may thus reduce the drain of energy via milk. In pluriparous cows, the serum PEDF concentrations and the mRNA abundance in subcutaneous adipose tissue (scAT), as well as the hepatic and scAT mRNA abundance of the putative receptors, adipose triglyceride lipase, and laminin receptor 1, changed over time of sampling (day −21 until day 252 relative to calving). Conjugated linoleic acid treatment was associated with reduced PEDF concentrations in serum and lower PEDF mRNA abundance in scAT on day 21 postpartum. Comparing different tissues from primiparous cows, PEDF mRNA was highest in the liver, followed by scAT, visceral adipose tissue (AT), and mammary gland, and lowest in the muscle. Significant changes in PEDF expression with time of sampling were limited to AT in primiparous and pluriparous cows. Our data support a regulatory role for PEDF. The similarities between the time course of the serum concentrations of PEDF and its mRNA abundance in scAT may point to a regulatory role for AT rather than the liver for PEDF in dairy cows.
