The 10+ Wheat Genomes Project recently sequenced and assembled to chromosome-level the genomes of nine wheat cultivars, uncovering genetic diversity and selection within the pan-genome of wheat. Here, we provide a wheat pan-transcriptome with de novo annotation and differential expression analysis for these wheat cultivars across multiple tissues. Using the de novo annotations we identify cultivar-specific genes and define the core and dispensable genomes. Expression analysis across cultivars and tissues reveals conservation in expression between a large core set of homeologous genes, in addition to widespread changes in subgenome homeolog expression bias between cultivars and cultivar-specific expression profiles. We utilise both the newly constructed gene-based wheat pan-genome and pan-transcriptome, demonstrating variation in the prolamin superfamily and immune-reactive proteins across cultivars.Item type: Publication , Access status: Metadata only , Polymorphism of intronic microsatellites in the A-FABP and LEPR genes and its association with productive traits in the pig(2004) Chmurzyńska, A.; Maçkowski, M.; Szydłowski, M.; Melonek, J.; Kamyczek, M.; Eckert, R.; Rózycki, M.; Świtoński, M.The adipocyte fatty acid-binding protein (A-FABP) and leptin receptor (LEPR) genes are candidate quantitative trait loci (QTLs) for fatness traits in the pig. In both genes polymorphic short tandem repeat (STR) sequences in intron 1 (A-FABP) and in intron 3 (LEPR) were revealed. The association studies between both polymorphisms and productive traits were performed in two breeds (Polish Large White and Polish Landrace) and one synthetic line (L990) of the pig. In the A-FABP ten and in the LEPR gene eight alleles were identified, and the polymorphic information content (PIC) values ranged from 0.713 to 0.749 and from 0.441 to 0.557, respectively. The associations with backfat thickness and intramuscular fat content were found. Since the observed relationships considering each gene were not concordant in all the studied populations, it was concluded that both genes are linked with an unknown QTL.Item type: Publication , Access status: Metadata only , A Multi-Stakeholder Alliance for Climate Governance: Cities and Regions Need Seats at theCOPTable(2026) Blizkovsky, P.; Prantl, J.; Lacina, L.Today's global climate policy suffers from a mismatch between governance demand and supply. The practice of climate governance showcases serious shortcomings. Globally, climate targets are agreed but not implemented. At the regional level, especially African stakeholders feel that, by global comparison, their continent is suffering more from climate change, yet they do not receive enough financial support for climate change mitigation and adaptation. At the subnational level, most frustration is coming from cities and regions that are responsible for 60% of climate adaptation. But they neither have a strong voice at the COP negotiation table nor do they receive stable and independent financial support. At grass-roots level, across the globe, actors no longer operate at the periphery but increasingly shape global climate decisions. The key to providing solutions for effective climate policy is therefore to strengthen its multilevel and multi-stakeholder character. There is mounting pressure to include local and regional authorities (LRAs) for transformational change in climate governance. LRAs ought to progress from the margins of climate governance to the epicentre of decision-making, giving regions and cities their rightful place at the COP negotiation table. This year's COP in Antalya would be a good place to start.Item type: Publication , Access status: Metadata only , Short Communication: Effect of leptin gene polymorphisms on breeding value for milk production traits(2004) Madeja, Z.; Adamowicz, T.; Chmurzynska, A.; Jankowski, T.; Melonek, J.; Switonski, M.; Strabel, T.New molecular techniques focused on genome analysis open new possibilities for complex evaluation of economically important traits in farm animals. Milk production traits are typical quantitative characteristics controlled by a number of genes. Mutations in their sequences may alter animal performance as well as their breeding values. In this study, we investigated the effect of 3 restriction fragment length polymorphisms (RFLP): HphI, Kpn2I, and Sau3AI in the leptin gene, on bull breeding values for milk, fat, and protein yield, and fat and protein content. One hundred seventeen Polish Black and White AI bulls were genotyped. Pedigree analysis indicated a relatively close relationship between the bulls. Statistical analysis indicated that the HphI polymorphism has a significant effect on milk and protein yield. Animals with the TT genotype had approximately 2x higher estimated breeding values for milk and protein yields. No effect was found for the other 2 polymorphisms.
