Vestimentiferan tubeworms that thrive in deep-sea chemosynthetic ecosystems rely on a single species of sulfide-oxidizing gammaproteobacterial endosymbionts housed specialized symbiotic organ called trophosome as their primary carbon source. While this simple symbiosis is remarkably productive, the host-symbiont molecular interactions remain unelucidated. Here, we applied an approach for situ single-cell fixation cold-seep tubeworm,
Spodoptera exigua is a pest of considerable economic importance; however, detailed research into its ecological adaptability in newly invaded habitats limited. This performed comprehensive analysis the life history characteristics S. under varying temperature, photoperiod, and humidity conditions. A total 264 studies that met inclusion criteria were included analysis, data examined using random-effects model, fixed-effects meta-regression techniques. The findings reveal when temperatures...
The porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) possesses an inherent ability to adapt environmental transformations undergo evolutionary changes, which has imposed significant economic pressure on the global pig industry. Given potential for recombination among PRRSV genomes variations in pathogenicity, newly emerging isolates are of considerable clinical importance. In this study, we successfully isolated a novel strain named XJ-Z5 from PRRSV-positive samples collected...
Spodoptera litura (Fabricius, 1775) is a major agricultural pest that primarily targets vegetables, cash crops, peanuts, and sugarcane. It causes damage to leaves, flower buds, fruits, leading significant reductions in crop yields. Global climate change may profoundly affect the population dynamics biological traits of this pest. This research employs meta-analysis systematically investigate impact temperature variation on developmental parameters S. litura. A detailed review 17 relevant...
Introduction Hippophae rhamnoides, a temperate species with transcontinental distribution spanning Eurasia, demonstrates preferential establishment in water-limited ecosystems (arid/semi-arid zones), particularly occupying high-elevation niches skeletal soils and high solar flux. This ecologically significant plant, prized for dual ecological provisioning economic services, shows biogeographic concentration China’s northern desertification belts, northwestern Loess Plateau, southwestern...
Abstract Our previous studies have found that the levels of cytochrome P450 and oxidative activities monooxygenases were enhanced in a fenvalerate‐resistant strain (HDFR) Helicoverpa armigera (Hübner) China, comparing with those susceptible (HDS). Here, we report molecular cloning gene expression specific CYP6B7 from HDFR HDS H. . Comparison deduced amino acid sequence showed there three substitutions acids coding region cDNA strain, strain. Meanwhile, mutative nucleotides intron genomic DNA...
Summary NF‐κB is a B‐cell specific transcription factor that plays crucial roles in inflammation, immunity, apoptosis, development and differentiation. In the present study, novel NF‐κB‐like Relish was cloned from Chinese mitten crab Eriocheir sinensis (designated as EsRelish) by rapid amplification of cDNA ends (RACE) technique based on expressed sequence tag (EST). The full‐length EsRelish 5034 bp, consisting 5′ untranslated region (UTR) 57 3′ UTR 1335 bp with two mRNA instability motifs...
Helicoverpa armigera (Hübner, 1808) is a significant global agricultural pest, particularly posing major threat during the boll-forming stage of cotton. In recent years, severity its damage has increased markedly, and population dynamics biological characteristics may be profoundly affected by climate change. This study conducted systematic meta-analysis to evaluate life history traits H. under conditions rising temperatures, different photoperiods, humidity levels. A comprehensive analysis...
Understanding the dynamic inter-relationship between grazing animals and pasture sward is critical for sustainable management. A field study was conducted to investigate relationships quantity quality characteristics of forages diet selection 30-kg Mongolian ewes in different seasons Bromus inermis improved meadow steppe. Using a residual herbage mass method (1 000 kg/ha spring, 800 summer 600 autumn) adjust stocking rate, three seasonal rest strategies (spring rest, autumn rest) combined...

Phloem versus xylem water and carbon flow between a developing daughter cladode (flattened stem segment) the underlying basal of Opuntia ficus-indica was assessed using net CO2 uptake, transpiration, phloem sap concentration, potential both organs as well apoplastic tracers. A 14-d-old sink organ with negative daily uptake; its higher than that cladode, implicating non-xylem pathway for needed growth. Indeed, relatively dilute (7.44% dry weight) can supply all (7.1 gd−1) along photosynthate...
Abstract A new cell line, designated IOZCAS‐Spex XI, was established from the pupal ovaries of Spodoptera exigua (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) in TNM‐FH medium containing 10% foetal bovine serum. The spherical cells were predominant among various types. population‐doubling time during logarithmic phase growth 81.7 h. It confirmed that line originated S. by DAF‐PCR technique. Analysis susceptibility to baculovirus showed susceptible nucleopolyhedrovirus (SeNPV), Autographa californica multiple NPV...
Daughter cladodes (flattened stem segments) of Opuntia ficus-indica (L.) Miller at 14–18 d after appearance on the underlying basal were sinks, requiring carbohydrate import for growth. Import stopped 25–26 d, and daughter became sources 27–28 d. The activities Rubisco, PEPCase, sucrose-Pi synthase as well chlorophyll content 14 not less than those 28 suggesting that photosynthetic or sucrose synthesis capacity was limiting carbon assimilation sink cladodes. Sucrose (SS) activity three times...
Telomeres are maintained usually by telomerase, a specialized reverse transcriptase that adds this sequence to chromosome ends. In study, telomerase activity was detected in the different somatic tissues, such as midgut and fat bodies, telomeric repeat amplification protocol (TRAP) Spodoptera exigua. The structure of telomeres S. exigua evaluated analysis TRAP products, revealing synthesized (TTAGG)n repeat. presence (TERT) subunit coding gene has been cloned, sequenced expressed vitro...
Summary The γ‐aminobutyrate type A receptor‐associated protein (GABARAP) is a ubiquitin‐like modifier, which implicated in membrane trafficking and fusion events of receptor, autophagy apoptosis. In the present study, gene encoding GABARAP (designated EsGABARAP) was cloned from Chinese mitten crab Eriocheir sinensis by using rapid amplification cDNA ends approach expression sequence tag (EST) analysis. full‐length EsGABARAP 457 bp, containing 5′ untranslated region (UTR) 77 3′ UTR 32 bp with...
Changes in photosynthesis (A) and carbohydrate partitioning were studied for Encelia farinosa, a common C3 desert shrub the southwestern United States, after 3-month exposure to current or doubled CO2 concentration (750 [mu]L L-1). A remained unchanged under but decreased during day concentration, resulting 46% enhancement early morning, 26% at midday, 15% late afternoon by elevated CO2. The decrease may represent end-product inhibition, because sucrose starch contents increased...
SummaryLow temperatures in Winter, as well cold spells Spring, can cause severe damage to grapevines. Although cold-tolerance grapevine is not fully understood, the genetic mechanisms responsible for and cold-acclimatisation responses have been studied comprehensively Arabidopsis thaliana, tomato, rice. In order identify cold-induced genes, analyse gene expression profiles during cold-acclimatisation, a cDNA library was constructed using suppression subtractive hybridisation from clonal...
