  • Genomic Diversity and Population Structure of the Indigenous Greek and Cypriot Cattle Populations Dimitris Papachristou1, Panagiota Koutsouli1, George P

Genet Sel Evol (2020) 52:43 https://doi.org/10.1186/s12711-020-00560-8 Genetics Selection Evolution RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Genomic diversity and population structure of the indigenous Greek and Cypriot cattle populations Dimitris Papachristou1, Panagiota Koutsouli1, George P. Laliotis1, Elisabeth Kunz2, Maulik Upadhyay2, Doris Seichter3, Ingolf Russ3, Bunevski Gjoko4, Nikolaos Kostaras5, Iosif Bizelis1 and Ivica Medugorac2* Abstract Background: The indigenous cattle populations from Greece and Cyprus have decreased to small numbers and are currently at risk of extinction due to socio-economic reasons, geographic isolation and crossbreeding with commer- cial breeds. This study represents the frst comprehensive genome-wide analysis of 10 indigenous cattle populations from continental Greece and the Greek islands, and one from Cyprus, and compares them with 104 international breeds using more than 46,000 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). Results: We estimated several parameters of genetic diversity (e.g. heterozygosity and allelic diversity) that indicated a severe loss of genetic diversity for the island populations compared to the mainland populations, which is mainly due to the declining size of their population in recent years and subsequent inbreeding. This high inbreeding status also resulted in higher genetic diferentiation within the Greek and Cyprus cattle group compared to the remaining geographical breed groups. Supervised and unsupervised cluster analyses revealed that the phylogenetic patterns in the indigenous Greek breeds were consistent with their geographical origin and historical information regarding crosses with breeds of Anatolian or Balkan origin. Cyprus cattle showed a relatively high indicine ancestry. Greek island populations are placed close to the root of the tree as defned by Gir and the outgroup Yak, whereas the mainland breeds share a common historical origin with Buša.

  • Report on the State of Animal Genetic Resources in Italy
    Report on the State of Animal Genetic Resources in Italy English (Compact version) July 2005 Report on the State of Animal Genetic Resouces in Italy INTRODUCTION The authorization for the preparation of this Report on the State of Animal Genetic Resources in Italy has been extended in March 2001 following a communication from the Director General of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations – FAO. The Ministry of Agricultural and Forestry Policies (MiPAF) has assigned the task of preparing this First Report to ConSDABI (Consorzio per la Sperimentazione, Divulgazione e Applicazione di Biotecniche Innovative) under the direction of Prof. Donato Matassino. This Report, in synthesis, describes the current situation of animal genetic resources for food and agriculture and identifies the needs to implement their monitoring, conservation and utilization, their potential contribution to agriculture, nutrition and to sustainable and multifunctional rural development; it also analyzes the current capacity of the country for the management of these resources and describes the priorities that may be useful for international cooperation. 1 Report on the State of Animal Genetic Resouces in Italy CHAPTER 1 THE STATE OF BIODIVERSITY IN THE ANIMAL SECTOR IN ITALY 1.1. Italian agriculture, animal production systems and relative biodiversity 1.1.1. The country Italy has borders with France (west), Switzerland and Austria (north), Slovenia (east), and in its interior is found the Vatican State and San Marino. The country has 20 regions with 103 provinces and 8.101 municipalities (comuni). In 2003 it had 57, 3 million inhabitants on an area of 301.336 km2, and a mean density of 190 inhabitants / km2.

  • Refining the Genetic Structure and Relationships of European
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Refning the genetic structure and relationships of European cattle breeds through meta‑analysis of worldwide genomic SNP data, focusing on Italian cattle Salvatore Mastrangelo1*, Marco Tolone1, Slim Ben Jemaa2, Gianluca Sottile3, Rosalia Di Gerlando1, Oscar Cortés4, Gabriele Senczuk5, Baldassare Portolano1, Fabio Pilla5 & Elena Ciani6 The availability of genotyping assays has allowed the detailed evaluation of cattle genetic diversity worldwide. However, these comprehensive studies did not include some local European populations, including autochthonous Italian cattle. In this study, we assembled a large‑scale, genome‑wide dataset of single nucleotide polymorphisms scored in 3,283 individuals from 205 cattle populations worldwide to assess genome‑wide autozygosity and understand better the genetic relationships among these populations. We prioritized European cattle, with a special focus on Italian breeds. Moderate diferences in estimates of molecular inbreeding calculated from runs of homozygosity (FROH) were observed among domesticated bovid populations from diferent geographic areas, except for Bali cattle. Our fndings indicated that some Italian breeds show the highest estimates of levels of molecular inbreeding among the cattle populations assessed in this study. Patterns of genetic diferentiation, shared ancestry, and phylogenetic analysis all suggested the occurrence of gene fow, particularly among populations originating from the same geographical area. For European cattle, we observed a distribution along three main directions, refecting the known history and formation of the analyzed breeds. The Italian breeds are split into two main groups, based on their historical origin and degree of conservation of ancestral genomic components. The results pinpointed that also Sicilian breeds, much alike Podolian derived‑breeds, in the past experienced a similar non‑European infuence, with African and indicine introgression.

  • 10.1.4 “Conservazione Di Risorse Genetiche Animali Per La Salvaguardia Della Biodiversità”
    PROGRAMMA DI SVILUPPO RURALE 2014-20 Misura 10 – Pagamenti agro‐climatico‐ambientali Sottomisura 10.1 ‐ Pagamenti per impegni agro‐climatico‐ambientali Tipo di operazione ‐ 10.1.4 “Conservazione di risorse genetiche animali per la salvaguardia della biodiversità” Descrizione del tipo operazione Come evidenziato nella SWOT (Punto di debolezza 6 – Priorità 4) nelle aree rurali, soprattutto in zone ad alto valore naturalistico o Rete Natura 2000, si rileva il rischio di perdita di biodiversità, a causa della scarsa redditività e degli eccessivi costi per la conservazione e il mantenimento della coltivazione e degli allevamenti di varietà e di razze locali. In Toscana, la grande biodiversità di razze animali, alcune delle quali a rischio di estinzione, rappresenta un patrimonio ambientale e storico‐culturale di singolare ricchezza che richiede specifiche azioni di tutela. Come è noto, le razze animali attualmente a bassa consistenza numerica o addirittura a rischio di estinzione sono state nel tempo progressivamente abbandonate proprio a causa della loro bassa produttività che determinava e tuttora determina un minor reddito per l’allevatore. Su di esse nel tempo non si è intervenuto con una selezione genetica mirata ad aumentarne l’efficienza biologica e quindi l’allevatore ha spesso preferito ricorrere ad altre razze, spesso alloctone, nelle quali il progresso genetico per via selettiva era stato portato avanti da tempo con forti incrementi di redditività negli anni recenti. Questo gap iniziale, quindi, si è rafforzato con il tempo ed è pensabile che non potrà mai più essere recuperato, anche se fosse messa in atto un’attività selettiva di nuova impronta. Questo quadro vale per le razze che trovano una forte concorrenza interna entro la medesima specie per le produzioni zootecniche più conosciute (latte e carne) e che sono riferibili alla specie bovina, ovi‐caprina e suina.
