Potato (Solanum tuberosum) is the third most important food crop in world. tubers must be stored at cold temperatures to prevent sprouting, minimize disease losses, and supply consumers processing industry with high-quality throughout year. Unfortunately, storage triggers an accumulation of reducing sugars tubers. High-temperature these results dark-colored, bitter-tasting products. Such products also have elevated amounts acrylamide, a neurotoxin potential carcinogen. We demonstrate that...
Plant non-specific lipid transfer proteins (nsLTPs) constitute large multigene families that possess complex physiological functions, many of which remain unclear. This study isolated and characterized the function a protein gene, BraLTP1 from Brassica rapa, in important oilseed crops napus. encodes predicted secretory protein, little known VI Class nsLTP families. Overexpression BnaLTP1 B. napus caused abnormal green coloration reduced wax deposition on leaves detailed analysis revealed...
Extreme environments test the limits of life; yet, some organisms thrive in harsh conditions. Extremophile lineages inspire questions about how can tolerate physiochemical stressors and whether repeated colonization extreme is facilitated by predictable repeatable evolutionary innovations. We identified mechanistic basis underlying convergent evolution tolerance to hydrogen sulfide (H2S)-a toxicant that impairs mitochondrial function-across evolutionarily independent a fish (Poecilia...
ABSTRACT Accumulation of reducing sugars during cold storage is a persistent and costly problem for the potato ( Solanum tuberosum L.) processing industry. High temperature tubers with elevated amounts results in chips, fries, other products that are unacceptable to consumers because their bitter taste unappealing dark color. More problematically, such contain increased acrylamide, neurotoxin potential carcinogen. We have demonstrated silencing vacuolar acid invertase gene VInv can prevent...
<title>Abstract</title> Background Previous studies had shown that multivitamin and mineral deficiencies increase the risk of oral diseases. To this end, we conducted a Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis to assess causal relationship between micronutrients Methods We performed bidirectional MR analyses utilizing publicly available summary statistics from independent European-ancestry cohorts. The study investigated potential associations 15 levels 13 Five distinct methods were employed...
Genetic improvement of drought resistance is one the main breeding goals for common bean; therefore, molecular markers need to be identified facilitate breeding. In this study, we evaluated proline, trehalose, raffinose and stachyose contents 210 bean accessions under two watering conditions found high variation. The coefficient variation ranged from 21.21% proline content 78.69% well-watered 20.11% 50.08% trehalose stress. According our genome-wide association analysis, 32 quantitative...
Abstract Background Porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) exhibits extensive genetic variation. The outbreak of a highly pathogenic PRRS in 2006 led us to investigate the extent PRRSV diversity China. To this end, we analyzed Nsp2 ORF7 gene sequences 98 Chinese isolates. Results Preliminary analysis indicated that strains with 30-amino acid deletion protein are dominant viruses circulating Further based on revealed all isolates were divided into 5 subgroups, PRRSVs...
Abstract Common bean ( Phaseolus vulgaris L.) is an important food legume. However, drought influences its entire growth and development process can cause yield losses. The influence of stress the most severe in bud stage. major objective our study was to identify a series loci involved response stage using association analysis. In this study, 361 common germplasms were used investigate germination vigor (GV) rate (GR) under distilled water conditions. showed large variations GV GR, with...
Foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) is an extremely contagious viral of cattle, pigs, sheep, goats, and many cloven-hoofed wild animals. FMDV serotypes O Asia 1 have circulated separately in China during the last fifty years, eliminating infected animals vaccination are main policies to prevent control FMD. Antibodies NSPs exist animals, were utilized differentiate between vaccinated The reliability detection 3AB or 3ABC antibodies higher than that other NSPs. test still credible because 3C...
DNA sequences of fatty acid elongase 1 genes FAE1.1 (EA) and FAE1.2 (EC) were isolated characterized for 30 commercialized low erucic rapeseed (LEAR) cultivars in China. Four types independent mutation leading to trait found, i.e., a single-base transition (eA1), two-base deletion (eC2) four-base (eC4) as well with (eA*). Three genotypes, eA1eA1eC2eC2, eA1eA1eC4eC4 eA*eA*eC4eC4 responsible LEA content storage lipids different cultivars. Most the LEAR had genotype which descended from first...
Drought stress severely impairs common bean production. For facilitating drought-resistance breeding in bean, molecular markers were identified a genome-wide level marker–trait association study. A panel of 210 accessions showed large variation 11 agronomic traits at the adult stage (plant height, pod number per plant, seed pod, yield length, harvest index, days to maturity, hundred-seed weight, and yield) under two water conditions. The coefficient ranged from 6.21% for index 51.00% plant...
Microsatellite DNA markers were used to monitor levels of genetic variation in 3 generations the American Zoo and Aquarium Association [AZA] Species Survival Plan [SSP] captive breeding program for Lake Victoria cichlid Paralabidochromis chilotes. Temporal changes frequency 15 alleles, across four polymorphic loci, estimate effective population size (Ne). The upper limit 95% confidence interval Ne never exceeded eight individuals, with all corresponding Ne/N ratios falling below 0.15. A test...
