Asian frogs of the tribe Paini (Anura: Dicroglossidae) range across several first-order tectono-morphological domains Cenozoic Indo-Asian collision that include Tibetan Plateau, Himalayas, and Indochina. We show how tectonic events induced by affected regional biota and, in turn, geological history earth can be viewed from a biological perspective. Our analysis concatenated dataset comprising four nuclear gene sequences revealed two main radiations, corresponding to genera Nanorana (I)...
Abstract Background Neuroblastoma (NB) is the most common extracranial solid tumor in childhood. The present treatment including surgery, chemotherapy and radiation, which have only 40% long-term cure rates, usually cause recurrence. Thus, looking for new effective less toxic therapies has important significance. XAV939 a small molecule inhibitor of tankyrase 1(TNKS1). objective this study to investigate effect on proliferation apoptosis NB cell lines, related mechanism. Methods In study, we...
Abstract Paleoclimatic and paleogeological events have been identified as being the two main drivers of genetic structuring in extant organisms. We used a montane stream‐dwelling frog, Q uasipaa boulengeri , to explore relative roles played by these on species southern C hina, region needing thorough studies. detected four major matrilines, no broadly distributed haplotypes occurred. The complex orogenesis south‐western China drove matrilineal divergence . into highly structured geographical...
Abstract Insect faunas are extremely rare near the latest Cretaceous with a 24-million-year gap spanning from early Campanian to Eocene. Here, we report unique amber biota Upper (uppermost ~72.1 Ma) of Tilin, central Myanmar. The chemical composition Tilin suggests tree source among conifers, indicating that gymnosperms were still abundant in equatorial forests. Eight orders and 12 families insects have been found so far, making it known diverse insect assemblage Mesozoic. presence ants...
The Himalaya are among the youngest and highest mountains in world, but exact timing of their uplift origins biodiversity still debate. Himalayan region is a relatively small area with exceptional diversity endemism. One common hypothesis to explain rich montane uplift-driven diversification-that orogeny creates conditions favoring rapid
Low ambient air temperature limits the growth and selection of crops in cold regions, tolerance is a survival strategy for overwintering plants winters. Studies differences transcriptional levels winter rapeseed (Brassica rapa L.) under stress can improve our understanding transcript-mediated responses. In this study, two varieties, Longyou-7 (cold-tolerant) Lenox (cold-sensitive), were used to reveal morphological, physiological, transcriptome after 24 h stress, at room temperature,...
Dascillus Latreille, 1797 (Coleoptera: Dascillidae) currently contains about 40 species, of which 32 have been reported from China (Jin et al. 2013, 2018; Hájek 2016; Terzani 2017; Wang 2019). The Baotianman National Nature Reserve Henan (33°20'-33°36'N, 111°47'-112°04'E) is one the "world biosphere reserves" recognized by United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization for their high ecosystem species diversity (Zhu 2002). While examining specimens collected survey in 2017,...
Abstract Ruminal microbiota changes frequently with high grain diets and the occurrence of subacute ruminal acidosis (SARA). A grain-induced goat model SARA, durations a significant decrease in rumen pH value to less than 5.6 an increase lipopolysaccharides concentration, is constructed for real-time monitoring bacteria alteration. Using 16 S rRNA gene sequencing, bacterial differences between goats from SARA healthy groups are identified at every hour six continuous hours after feeding....
Identifying and protecting hotspots of endemism species richness is crucial for mitigating the global biodiversity crisis. However, our understanding spatial diversity patterns far from complete, which severely limits ability to conserve hotspots. Here, we report a comprehensive analysis amphibian in China, one most species-rich countries on Earth. Our study combines 20 y field surveys with new molecular analyses 521 described also identifies 100 potential cryptic species. We identify 10...
Diabetic nephropathy is the leading cause of end-stage renal disease. The aim this study was to investigate renoprotective effects autologous transplantation adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (ADMSCs) and delineate its underlying mechanisms action in diabetic nephropathy. Diabetes induced adult male Sprague-Dawley rats by streptozotocin (STZ) injection. ADMSCs were administered intravenously 4 weeks after STZ injection metabolic indices structure assessed (12 weeks). Markers diabetes...
The Triassic represented an important period that witnessed the diversification of marine and terrestrial ecosystems. radiations plants vertebrates during this have been widely investigated; however, history insects, most diverse group organisms on Earth, remains enigmatic because rarity Early-Middle fossils. We report new insect fossils from a Ladinian deposit (Tongchuan entomofauna) dated to approximately 238 237 million years ago Carnian (Karamay in northwestern China, including earliest...
Limited research has focused on the effect of Lactobacillus intestinal toxicity deoxynivalenol (DON). The present study was conducted to investigate role plantarum (L. plantarum) JM113 in protecting against caused by DON.A total 144 one-day-old healthy Arbor Acres broilers were randomly distributed into 3 treatments, including CON (basal diet), DON (extra 10 mg/kg deoxynivalenol), and DL 1 × 109 CFU/ kg L. based group) treatments. growth performance, organ indexes, morphology, pancreatic...
DNA barcoding has greatly facilitated studies of taxonomy, biodiversity, biological conservation, and ecology. Here, we establish a reliable library for Chinese snakes, unveiling hidden diversity with implications provide standardized tool conservation management. Our comprehensive study includes 1638 cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COI) sequences from snakes that correspond to 17 families, 65 genera, 228 named species (80.6% species) 36 candidate species. A barcode gap analysis reveals...
The Early Cretaceous Jehol biota of China, preserved in lacustrine deposits, yields abundant well-preserved invertebrate and vertebrate fossils. However, the exact mode nature its extraordinary preservation remains unclear. Here we investigated fossil insects from successions at 12 Lower localities found that many were by pyrite (later pseudomorphed iron oxide). These pyritized fossils observed solely within deposits with volcanogenic sediments. pyritization has been facilitated moderate...
Significance Central topics in evolutionary biology include uncovering the processes and genetic bases of speciation documenting environmental adaptations responsible for them. The challenging environment Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau (QTP) facilitates such investigations, Tibetan frog, Nanorana parkeri , offers a unique opportunity to investigate these processes. A cohort whole-genome sequences 63 individuals from across its entire range opens avenues incorporating population genomics into...
South China and Indochina host striking species diversity endemism. Complex tectonic climatic evolutions appear to be the main drivers of biogeographic patterns. In this study, based on geologic history region, we test 2 hypotheses using evolutionary Microhyla fissipes complex. Using DNA sequence data from both mitochondrial nuclear genes, first hypothesis that Red River is a barrier gene flow dispersal. Second, Pleistocene cycling affected genetic structure population these frogs. We detect...
Winter rapeseed is not only an important oilseed crop, but also a winter cover crop in Northern China, where its production was severely limited by freezing stress. As overwinter the Therefore, understanding physiological and molecular mechanism of (Brassica napus L.) stress responses becomes essential for improvement development freezing-tolerant varieties Brassica napus. In this study, morphological, physiological, ultrastructure transcriptome changes line “2016TS(G)10” (freezing-tolerance...
Mutations or overexpression of signalling genes can result in cancer development and metastasis. In this study, we manually assembled a human cellular network developed robust bioinformatics strategy for extracting cancer-associated single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) using expressed sequence tags (ESTs). We then investigated the relationships [cancer-associated SNP genes, known as (CG) cell mobility (CMGs)] context. Through graph-theory-based analysis, found that CGs are significantly...
