Sex identification plays an important role in avian production. Hitherto, it is difficult to distinguish the sexes of monomorphic birds based on their external features. The chromo-helicase-DNA-binding genes contain CHD-W gene and CHD-Z gene, which are located on the W chromosome and Z chromosome, respectively. Since CHD-W gene is unique to females, the polymerase chain reaction can be used for sex identification. However, extracting DNA procedures for verifying the sex is tedious and expensive. To address these disadvantages, the objective of this study was to develop a simple DNA extraction assay to efficiently process blood, liver, and feather samples. The results showed that 2% dimethylsulfoxide was suitable for processing blood, and phosphate-buffered saline was suitable for processing liver and feather samples. The specific primers were designed, and the length of the targets is 474 bp on Z chromosome and 319 bp on W chromosome. The pigeons were identified as females based on the presence of two bands on the gel, and as males based on the presence of one band. Taken together, our results suggested that feather samples were more appropriate than blood or liver for sex identification of pigeons. Compared to the traditional DNA extraction, this method shortened the assay time and reduced the cost.

Evaluation of the applicability of polymerase chain reaction (PCR) to sex identification in Eurasian blackbirds (Turdus merula)Turdus merulais one of most common bird species in Europe. This study verified a method for its sex identification by PCR with P2/P8 primers, based on theCHD1gene polymorphism, proposed in earlier studies as a universal tool for sex identification in most bird species. Although there are some reports that PCR cannot determine sex in Eurasian blackbirds due to a lack of differences in intron lengths ofCHD1-ZandCHD1-Wgenes, our study showed that such a possibility does exist, so it can contribute to an increased understanding of the biology of this species.

An S-allele cDNA was cloned from pistils of 'McIntosh' apple (Malus ×domestica Borkh.). The allele, designated Si in Japan and S10 in Europe, is an S-RNase that is very similar (94%) to the S3-RNase at the deduced amino acid sequence level. This allele can be detected by amplification using the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and specific primers, followed by digestion with restriction enzyme EheI. The S10 allele was discovered in 'Empire', 'Maypole', 'Shinano Red', 'Spencer', and 'Vista Bella'. The S-allele cDNAs sequenced to date are listed with their Japanese and European designations.
