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,

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...

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...

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...
