Valorisation Des Produits Laitiers Typiques De Sicile Diagnostic Et Stratégie Locale
Valorisation des produits laitiers typiques de Sicile Diagnostic et stratégie locale Novembre 2013 Valorisation des produits laitiers typiques de Sicile Novembre 2013 Diagnostic et stratégie locale REFERENC ES Cette publication a été produite par le projet LACTIMED avec l'aide financière de l'Union européenne dans le cadre du Programme IEVP CT Bassin Maritime Méditerranée. Le contenu de ce document est la seule responsabilité de Slow Food, ASTER et de l’Institut Agronomique Méditerranéen de Montpellier (CIHEAM- IAMM), partenaires du projet LACTIMED, ainsi que de l’Université de Catane, expert, et ne peut en aucun cas être considéré comme reflétant la position de l'Union européenne ou celles des structures de gestion du Programme. LACTIMED vise à renforcer la production et la distribution de produits laitiers typiques et innovants en Méditerranée par l’organisation des filières locales, l’accompagnement des producteurs dans leurs projets de développement et la création de nouveaux débouchés pour leurs produits. Le projet est mis en œuvre dans le cadre du programme IEVP CT MED. Il est financé, pour un montant de 4,35 millions d'euros, par l'Union européenne à travers l’Instrument Européen de Voisinage et de Partenariat. L‘Union européenne est constituée de 28 États membres qui ont décidé de mettre graduellement en commun leur savoir-faire, leurs ressources et leur destin. Ensemble, durant une période d’élargissement de plus de 50 ans, ils ont construit une zone de stabilité, de démocratie et de développement durable tout en maintenant leur diversité culturelle, la tolérance et les libertés individuelles. L’Union européenne est déterminée à partager ses réalisations et ses valeurs avec les pays et les peuples au-delà de ses frontières. -

The melanocortin 1 receptor (MC1R) gene has been described as responsible for the black color in some breeds of sheep, but little is known about its function in many colored breeds, particularly those with a wide range of pigmentation phenotypes. The Brazilian Creole is a local breed of sheep from southern Brazil that has a wide variety of wool colors. We examined the MC1R gene (Extension locus) to search for the e allele and determine its role in controlling wool color variation in this breed. One hundred and twenty-five animals, covering the most common Creole sheep phenotypes (black, brown, dark gray, light gray, and white), were sequenced to detect the mutations p.M73K and p.D121N. Besides these two mutations, three other synonymous sites (429, 600, and 725) were found. -

Several research activities on this topic have been carried out by Universities and Research Institutions. Among them see the important activity of ConSDABI (Annex 3). Strategic Priority Area 2: Sustainable Use and Development Beyond the systematic control of animals of Italian populations (herd books, pedigree registries, milk recording, type evaluation, etc.) made by the different associations of breeders, as outlined in Annex 2, several projects dealing with sustainable use, products valorisation and development has been carried out by national and local governments, agencies, breeders associations and consortia. Strategic Priority Area 3: Conservation (please give details for the most relevant institutions for national genebanks / cryopreservation in the table in Annex 1) In situ conservation activities are going on for almost all the Italian AnGR, while the project of a national virtual cryo-bank is not yet fully established, despite the intense work of the -

In order to enhance the textile value of Italian native and local wools, research projects were carried out by starting mapping wools from some Italian sheep breeds through a preliminary morphological characterization of wool fibres. Furthermore, textile processing procedures differing from the commonly used woolling techniques have been set up. The results have shown that, at national level, native and local wools, beyond being more widely employed in the carpets production, could be also used in the higher added value sector of clothing and fashion. -
Identification of Missense Mutations in the PCP4 and CD109 Genes to Validate the Effect of Neutral Genetic Markers
Czech J. Anim. Sci., 61, 2016 (7): 317–325 Original Paper doi: 10.17221/30/2015-CJAS Identification of missense mutations in the PCP4 and CD109 genes to validate the effect of neutral genetic markers B. Moioli1, L. De Grossi2, R. Steri1, F. Pilla3 1Council for Agricultural Research and Analysis of Agricultural Economics, Monterotondo, Italy 2Istituto Zooprofilattico Sperimentale, Viterbo, Italy 3Department of Animal, Vegetable and Environmental Sciences, University of Molise, Campobasso, Italy ABSTRACT: The marker-assisted selection exploits anonymous genetic markers that have been associated with measurable differences on complex traits. Because it is based on the linkage disequilibrium (LD) between the polymorphic markers and the polymorphisms which code for the trait, its success is limited to the popula- tion in which the association has been assessed. The identification of the gene with effect on the target trait and the detection of the functional mutations will allow selection in independent populations, while encour- aging studies on gene expression. In a flock of sheep infected with M. paratuberculosis, a genome-wide scan, performed with the Illumina OvineSNP50 BeadChip, had identified two candidate genes, the PCP4 and the CD109, located in proximity of the markers with significant allele substitution effect on the positivity level at paratuberculosis serological assessment. The coding region of the two genes was directly sequenced. Three missense mutations were detected: two in the PCP4 gene and one in the second exon of the CD109 gene, the latter showing a strong LD with the anonymous marker. Direct sequencing of the DNA of sheep of different populations showed that disequilibrium was maintained. -
