The rhizobium-legume symbiosis is a model system for studying mutualistic interactions between bacteria and eukaryotes. Sinorhizobium sp. NGR234 distinguished by its ability to form either indeterminate nodules or determinate with diverse legumes. Here, we presented high-resolution RNA-seq transcriptomic analysis of bacteroids in Leucaena leucocephala Vigna unguiculata. In contrast exponentially growing free-living bacteria, non-growing from both legumes recruited several common cellular...
Subcutaneous fat deposition has many important roles in dairy cattle, including immunological defense and mechanical protection. The main objectives of this study are to identify key candidate genes regulating subcutaneous high-producing cows by integrating genomic transcriptomic datasets. A total 1654 genotyped Holstein used perform a genome-wide association (GWAS) aiming associated with deposition. Subsequently, weighted gene co-expression network analyses (WGCNA) conducted based on...
The discovery of new safe and effective pesticides is one the main means providing eco-friendly agricultural agents for modern crop protection. To identify biological molecules based anthranilic diamide skeleton novel pesticide chlorantraniliprole, which acts on ryanodine receptor functional groups in acyl hydrazine insect growth regulators, more than 40 compounds 2-acylamino-substituted N'-benzylbenzohydrazide derivatives were designed synthesized. structures characterized using (1)H...
We explored the genetic basis of promiscuous symbiosis Sophora flavescens with diverse rhizobia. To determine impact Nod factors (NFs) on S. flavescens, nodulation-related gene mutants representative rhizobial strains were generated. Strains mutations in common nodulation genes (nodC, nodM, and nodE) failed to nodulate indicating that this plant is strictly dependent basic NF structure. Mutations decoration nodH, nodS, nodZ, noeI did not affect but these affected nitrogen-fixation efficiency...
Sinorhizobium fredii RT19 can tolerate up to 0.6 M NaCl, whereas all its pha2-disrupted mutants, constructed by Tn5 mutagenesis, failed grow in even the presence of 0.1 NaCl. No growth difference was detected pha2 mutants at a pH<7.5 or absence K+, but reduction observed K+ when pH>7.5. The gene cluster able completely restore S. Measurement monovalent cation intracellular content suggested that involved both Na+ (Li+) and efflux. exhibited K+/H+, no apparent Na+(Li+)/H+ antiporter activity...
Identifying the ecological forces that structure root-associated microbial communities is an essential step toward more sustainable agriculture. Legumes are widely utilized as model plants to study selective and their functioning in plant-microbial interactions owing ability establish mutualism with rhizobia. Root nodules act symbiotic organs optimize cost-benefit balance this mutualistic relationship by modulating number of nodules. However, it not known whether related bacterial...
Phenoloxidase (PO)–catalyzed melanization is a vital immune response in insects for defense against pathogen infection. This process mediated by clip domain serine proteases and regulated members of the serpin superfamily. We here revealed that infection Autographa californica multicapsid nucleopolyhedrovirus (AcMNPV) significantly inhibited PO activity Ostrinia furnacalis hemolymph induced expression O. serpin–4 . Addition recombinant serpin-4 protein to resulted great increase AcMNPV...
Air in concentrated animal feeding operations contains antibiotic resistance genes and airborne pathogens, with potential threat to human health. In this study, air was sampled the living area, outside, inside of a fattening pig house farm for 24 48 hours. Feedstuffs, drinking water additives, feces were collected. Three kinds (macrolide, β-lactam, tetracycline) seven pathogenic microorganisms (Campylobacter, Clostridium perfringens, Enterococcus, Escherichia coli, Yersinia enterocolitica,...
