    This document is an abstract book from the 6th International Molecular Biology and Biotechnology Congress held from December 22-25, 2017 in Turkey. It contains two sample abstracts from presentations at the conference. The first abstract discusses identifying candidate genes related to growth in farmed fish that could be used for marker-assisted selection in selective breeding programs. The second abstract summarizes studies using molecular methods to determine resistance to the antibiotic streptomycin used to fight the fire blight bacterial disease affecting pome fruits.

    Abstract

    Shortening the production period and developing growth in farm populations are some of the most critical issues for aquaculture industry.
    Selective breeding is obligatory for sustainable production in the aquaculture sector, which recently indicates a rapid growing. Genetic
    markers ensures great impetus to selective studies to increase efficiency in aquaculture. The main traits in aquaculture production are
    growth rate, meat quality, disease resistance and sex determination of populations. Growth rate which is the primarily considered trait
    in breeding studies is controlled by several genes. Growth hormone (GH), growth hormone receptor (GHR), insulin-like growth factors
    (IGF-I and -II), growth hormone-releasing hormone (GHRH), growth hormone inhibiting hormone (GHIH), myogenic regulatory
    factors (MRFs), myostatin (MSTN), myogenin gene (MyoG), somatolactin (SL) and prolactin (PRL) genes are candidate genes to take in
    account initially for such studies. However, literature on these regions are still insufficient. The candidate gene is a chromosome region
    and suspected of being linked to a complex trait. SNPs (Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms) are essentially used markers on candidate
    gene approaches. It is necessary to identify genes that may be involved in growth, in order to maintain marker-assisted selection (MAS)
    studies quickly and effectively. We reviewed previously introduced candidate genes for the further applications on genetic improvement
    of growth in farmed fish in this study. Therefore, this study could give a start point for other species which weren’t subjected before and
    of economic interest in detecting candidate genes.

    Key words: candidate gene, farmed fish, growth traits, SNP

    Abstract

    Fire blight caused by Erwinia amylovora (Burr.) Winslow et al. is the most serious and destructive bacterial disease of pome fruit trees.
    One of the methods used in fighting with the fire blight disease is now using antibiotic despite its harmful effects on the environment and
    nature. The most common antibiotic used to control the fire blight disease is streptomisin. High resistance to the disease has occured in
    many countries as a result of extreme streptomisin antibiotic use. In this study, molecular analysis methods, researches and findings in
    relation to determining the resistance of streptomisin antibiotic used against the disease in different countries, were compiled.

    Key Words: Erwinia amylovora, molecular, antibiotic, streptomycin, resistance
