IPR Training Mannual 2016 Biodiversity and intellectual property Arjava Sharma ICAR-National Bureau of Animal Genetic Resources Karnal -132001 (Haryana) Farm animal genetic resources (FAnGR) diversity has been generated much through continuous artificial selection carried out by animal keepers as per their need and natural selection in local environment (adaptation) during hundreds and thousands of years. For farm animal diversity, ‘breed’ is considered, in general, as a referral point and can be defined as “sub-specific group of domestic livestock with definable and identifiable external characteristics that enable it to be separated by visual appraisal from other similarly defined groups within same species”. Moreover, breed is a group for which geographical and/or cultural separation from phenotypically similar groups has led to acceptance of its separate identity. Our country is a big and enriched repository of farm animal diversity, possessing the largest number of livestock as well as their breeds in the world. Among 15 non- carnivores domesticated by mankind, 12 of the species are found in the country. A range of agro-ecological zones in India has also helped to develop this large number of breeds of various livestock species. The livestock greatly contribute in terms of milk, meat, egg, wool, draught and manure and provides an alternate but important source of income for millions of rural families of our country. Farm Animal Genetic Resources Dynamics At present, the country possesses 512 million livestock and 729 million poultry population (Livestock Census 2012). The country had recorded 3.3 percent reduction in total livestock population, 12.4 percent increase in poultry population during 2007 to 2012. From the time of independence, the cattle population has been increased by quarter on other side buffalo population increased by almost one and half times. Although, the cattle population is showing continuous growth, however, proportion of cattle in total bovine population is decreasing year after year. There is a rapid decline in some of the species like equines, camel, yak and mithun can erode some of best germplasm of indigenous horse from the country, if no corrective measures are being taken. Farm Animal Genetic Resources Diversity The vast domestic animal diversity can be reflected through a total of 151 registered farm animal breeds comprising of 39 breeds of cattle, 13 of buffalo, 40 of sheep, 24 of goat, 9 of camel, 6 of horse, one of donkey, 3 of pig and 16 of poultry. In addition, numerous lesser known breeds, strains and new genetic populations of different farm animal species exist which have not been properly studied and documented. Cattle In country, there are 39 registered breeds of indigenous cattle. Among these, four breeds are milch type, 22 draft type and remaining breeds are dual type. There is still huge population, which is undefined. Most of the Indian native cattle breeds can survive in extremes of agro-climatic conditions and are known for its adaptability to high temperature, powerful draught capacity and resistance to tick borne diseases. Important native breeds like Ongole, Gir, Sahiwal had attracted several countries including Brazil, USA, Argentina, 1 Mexico to import this germplasm for increasing resistance to diseases and heat in their native breeds. Buffalo The country possesses the rich germplasm of buffalo. Some best buffalo breeds of the world are found in India. There are 13 registered buffalo breeds -Murrah, Nili-Ravi, Jaffarabadi, Mehsana, Nagpuri, Pandharpuri, Bhadawari, Surti, Toda, Banni, Chilika and Kalahandi. Murrah is acknowledged as best breed in the world and imported by many countries. Bhadawari is known for high fat in milk. Goat There are 24 registered goat breeds, which can be classified into large, medium and small according to their body size. Beetal, Jamnapari and Jakhrana are the large-sized animals where Black Bengal, Barbari, Changthangi, Chegu, belong to small-sized category. Sheep Presently country possesses 40 indigenous breeds of the sheep. Sheep breeds of Northern region produce good quality carpet wool as well as medium fine wool. Magra sheep is famous for the high luster in wool and appreciated worldwide. The breeds from Southern peninsular region are most important for mutton production.

Two are large sized namely Marwari and Kathiawari. They are mainly used for riding, sports, transportation and safari. 2 The other four breeds, Zanskari, Spiti, Bhutia and Manipuri are small sized ponies. Zanskari, Spiti, Bhutia ponies are known for their ability to work tirelessly in high altitude regions. The Manipuri ponies are referred to as original polo ponies. The Indian horse breeds have unique traits such as sturdiness, endurance potential, relative disease resistance etc. Camel There are nine registered breeds of camel in the country namely Bikaneri, Jaisalmeri, Mewari, Katchi, Marwari, Mewati, Jalori,MalviandKharai. The camel is utilized for transportation and drought purposes in desert and arid areas of the country. Bikaneri camels are considered best for load carrying and pulling capacity. The Jaisalmeri camels have been recognised for their racing abilities. Pig There are three registered breeds of indigenous pig- Ghoongroo Niang Megha and Agonda Goan. Still there are large unique populations which can be defined as breed particularly in North Eastern region of the country. Yak and Mithun Yak and Mithun are Bovines, very close to cattle. In India, yak and Mithun have very small proportion among the total number of livestock population. Mithun is reared as meat animal in the northeast region of the country. Compared to yak, mithun is found at lower altitude region. Mostly yaks are mainly used for milk, meat and fiber production. Yaks thrive well in climate and low oxygen availability of high altitude regions. There is no defined breed of yak and mithun. Poultry India is considered to be the original home of the Red Jungle Fowl (Gallus gallus) the progenitor of present day domestic birds. Total 15 breeds of poultry have been registered.

The objective was to determine the characteristicof the maintenance of Gossypium barbadense in the Central-West Region of Brazil, with the aim to foster the conservation of the species. Expeditions were conducted in 2014-2015 in Southeast Goiás, where cotton collection has not been reported before. Data from previous collections in Goiás, Mato Grosso, Mato Grosso do Sul and Distrito Federal available in Albrana database were considered this study. In the Central-West Region of Brazil, 466 accesses of G. barbadense were recorded, found most frequently in backyards (91.4%), but also spontaneous plants (7.5%), farm boundary (0.8%) and commercial farming (0.2%) have also been found. The main use indicated by VDU was as medicinal plant (0.66), therefore this is the main reason for in situ preservation.

  • Complete Sequence of Kenaf (Hibiscus Cannabinus)
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Complete sequence of kenaf (Hibiscus cannabinus) mitochondrial genome and comparative analysis Received: 2 November 2017 Accepted: 27 July 2018 with the mitochondrial genomes of Published: xx xx xxxx other plants Xiaofang Liao1,2,3, Yanhong Zhao3, Xiangjun Kong2, Aziz Khan2, Bujin Zhou 2, Dongmei Liu4, Muhammad Haneef Kashif2, Peng Chen2, Hong Wang5 & Ruiyang Zhou2 Plant mitochondrial (mt) genomes are species specifc due to the vast of foreign DNA migration and frequent recombination of repeated sequences. Sequencing of the mt genome of kenaf (Hibiscus cannabinus) is essential for elucidating its evolutionary characteristics. In the present study, single- molecule real-time sequencing technology (SMRT) was used to sequence the complete mt genome of kenaf. Results showed that the complete kenaf mt genome was 569,915 bp long and consisted of 62 genes, including 36 protein-coding, 3 rRNA and 23 tRNA genes. Twenty-fve introns were found among nine of the 36 protein-coding genes, and fve introns were trans-spliced. A comparative analysis with other plant mt genomes showed that four syntenic gene clusters were conserved in all plant mtDNAs. Fifteen chloroplast-derived fragments were strongly associated with mt genes, including the intact sequences of the chloroplast genes psaA, ndhB and rps7. According to the plant mt genome evolution analysis, some ribosomal protein genes and succinate dehydrogenase genes were frequently lost during the evolution of angiosperms. Our data suggest that the kenaf mt genome retained evolutionarily conserved characteristics. Overall, the complete sequencing of the kenaf mt genome provides additional information and enhances our better understanding of mt genomic evolution across angiosperms.

  • Genetic Variability Studies in Gossypium Barbadense L
    Electronic Journal of Plant Breeding, 1(4): 961-965 (July 2010) Research Article Genetic variability studies in Gossypium barbadense L. genotypes for seed cotton yield and its yield components K. P. M. Dhamayanathi , S. Manickam and K. Rathinavel Abstract A study was carried out during kharif 2006-07 with twenty five Gossypium barbadense L genotypes to obtain information on genetic variability, heritability and genetic advance for seed cotton yield and its yield attributes. Significant differences were observed for characters among genotypes. High genetic differences were recorded for nodes/plant, sympodia, bolls as well as fruiting points per plant, seed cotton yield, lint index indicating ample scope for genetic improvement of these characters through selection. Results also revealed high heritability coupled with high genetic advance for yield and most of the yield components as well as fibre quality traits. Sympodia/plant, fruiting point /plant, number of nodes/plant, number of bolls per plant, and lint index were positively correlated with seed cotton yield per plant and appeared to be interrelated with each other. It is suggested that these characters could be considered as selection criteria in improving the seed cotton yield of G. barbadense , L genotypes. Key words : Gossypium barbadense , genetic variability, heritability, genetic advance, lint index, selection criteria Introduction Seed cotton yield is a complex trait governed by Cotton is the most widely used vegetable fibre and several yield contributing characters such as plant also the most important raw material for the textile height, number of monopodia, number of industry, grown in tropical and subtropical regions sympodia, number of bolls, number of fruiting in more than 80 countries all over the world.

  • The Value Chain of Native and Organic Cotton in the Lambayeque Region
    The value chain of native and organic cotton in the Lambayeque Region of Peru In the Lambayeque Region of Peru a strategic plan to recover the native cotton and promote its territorial organic production chain is being implemented. Since 2016 the Government of Lambayeque, through a regional regulation, declared the native cotton as a natural product of Lambayeque and had implemented a Concertation Table involving public and private sector organizations, universities, farmers and craftsmen local associations. In 2019 the new Board of Directors and the Technical Commissions of the Native Cotton Concertation Table were established, strengthening ongoing strategic alliances in order to develop the whole production chain of the native cotton, including initiatives of sowing and cultivation, production and marketing. The Gossypium barbadense species of the native cotton that is cultivated in the Lambayeque Region is characterized by a natural pigmentation of different colours. This native cotton comes in myriad of colour-grown hues, including russet, light and dark brown, copper, light and dark lilac, beige, pale yellow, cream and light white, as well as other colours to be rescued. The plants of this species, cultivated for millennia in small plots, orchards and gardens, also have other important properties: they are resistant to pests, bacterial and fungal diseases, insects. They are also resistant to high concentrations of soil salinity and they are able to survive in sandy areas for up to five years without the need for irrigation. Despite the great potential advantages of this native cotton, representing a biodiversity heritage of the country, its cultivation and use remained limited in the practices of small agricultural producers and artisans, meanwhile the big industry was producing the white cotton.

It was an updating and expansion of one prepared by Albert F. Hill in his 1952 textbook Economic Botany... and it simply got out of hand. I also thought it would be useful to add a brief description of how the plant is used and what part yields the product. There are a number of more or less encyclopedic references on this subject. The number of plants and the details of their uses is simply overwhelming. In the list below, I have attempted to focus on those plants that are of direct economic importance to us.

  • A Detailed RFLP Map of Cotton, Gossypium Hirsutum X Gossypium
    Copyright 0 1994 by the Genetics Society of America X A Detailed RFLP Map~ of Cotton, Gossypium hirsutum Gossypium barbadense: Chromosome Organization and Evolution in a Disomic Polyploid Genome Alesia J. Reinisch," Jian-mjn Dong,* Curt L. Brubaker,t David M. Stelly," Jonathan F. Wendelt and Andrew H. Paterson" *Department of Soil and Crop Sciences, Texas A&M University, College Station Texas 77843-2474, and +Department of Botany, Iowa State University, Ames, Iowa 50011 Manuscript received January6, 1994 Accepted for publication July12, 1994 ABSTRACT We employ a detailed restriction fragment length polymorphism(RFLP) map to investigate chromo- some organization and evolution in cotton, a disomic polyploid. About 46.2% of nuclear DNA probes detect RFLPs distinguishing Gossypium hirsutum and Gossypium barbadense; and 705 RFLP loci are assembled into 41 linkage groups and 4675 cM. The subgenomic origin (A us. D) of most, and chro- mosomal identityof 14 (of 26), linkage groups is shown. TheA and D subgenomes show similar recom- binational length, suggesting that repetitive DNA in the physically larger A subgenome is recombina- tionally inert. RFLPs are somewhat moreabundant in the D subgenome. Linkage among duplicatedRFLPs reveals 11 pairs of homoeologous chromosomal regions-two appear homosequential,most differ by in- versions, and at least one differs by a translocation. Most homoeologies involve chromosomes from different subgenomes, putatively reflecting the n = 13 to n = 26 polyploidization event of 1.1-1.9 mil- lionyears ago. Several observations suggest that another,earlier, polyploidization event spawned n = 13 cottons, at least 25 million years ago. The cotton genome contains about 400-kb DNA per cM, hence mapbased gene cloning is feasible.

  • Trace Evidence Symposium Kansas City, MO 2011
    Common Plant Fibers Trace Evidence Symposium Kansas City, MO 2011 Amy Michaud ATF Laboratory Trace Evidence Unit 240-264-1461 Plant Fibers Three MajorTypes: • Seed/Fruit Fibers • Bast Fibers (Stem or Soft Fibers) • Structural Fibers (Leaf or Hard Fibers) Seed/Fruit Fibers • Fibers that are collected from seeds, seed cases or the fruit of the plant. They are unicellular and used as individual fibers rather than bundles. – Cotton – Kapok – Coir Cotton • Formed by the elongation of a single epidermal cell of the cottonseed. This staple fiber grows in a boll (protective capsule) around the seeds of cotton plants. It can be harvested by hand or by modern machinery. Different Types of Cotton • There are four commercially-grown species of cotton: – Gossypium hirsutum or Upland Cotton – grown in Central America, Mexico, Caribbean and South Florida (90% world production) – Gossypium barbadense – Creale, Egyptian, Pima or Sea Island Cotton. Native to tropical South America (8% world production) – Gossypium arboreum – tree cotton, native to India and Pakistan (<2%) – Gossypium herbaceum – Levant cotton, native to South Africa and the Arabian Penninsula (<2%) • The primary difference between these is in the staple length, therefore they are virtually indistinguishable by microscopy. • The cottons that are extra long staple (ELS) are more desirable because they can be made into stronger and softer yarns. Most high thread count sheets are made from ELS cotton because a long fiber is needed to make a very thin, yet strong yarn. Cotton Processing • Some cotton may be “mercerized”. Created by John Mercer, who treated fibers with sodium hydroxide. Now after treatment the fibers are neutralized in an acid bath.
