Phosphorus (P) deficiency in soil is a worldwide issue and major constraint on the production of sorghum, which an important staple food, forage energy crop. The depletion P reserves increasing price fertilizer make application impractical, especially developing countries. Therefore, identifying sorghum accessions with low-P tolerance understanding underlying molecular basis for this will facilitate breeding P-efficient plants, thereby resolving crisis farming. However, knowledge these areas...
The yak (Poephagus grunniens) has evolved unique adaptations to survive the harsh environment of Tibetan Plateau, while their gut microorganisms play a crucial role in maintaining health animal. Gut microbes spread through animal population not only by horizontal transmission but also vertically, which enhances microbial stability and inheritance between generations population. Homogenization different species occurs same habitat enhancing interspecies coexistence. Using as model animal,...

Abstract Pregnant ewes mobilize body fat to increase energy supply for fetal growth and development upon undernutrition, which disrupts the metabolic homeostasis of body. However, comprehensive changes in subcutaneous adipose tissue undernutrition are poorly understood. In this study, an sheep model was established investigate effects on changes, immune response, inflammation through transcriptome, RT‐qPCR, metabolome analysis. Results showed that changed total transcriptional profiles...
The yak industry constitutes a pivotal segment of livestock development across the Qinghai–Tibetan Plateau and adjacent pastoral regions. Existing studies have shown that supplemental feeding for grazing yaks significantly improves meat quality growth performance, but its effect on enteric methane (CH4) emission from has never been reported, so present experiment aimed to investigate CH4 emissions in three different periods warm season. Thirty male were randomly assigned two groups, with 15...
ABSTRACT Phytosterols are plant‐derived natural compounds which resemble in structure with cholesterol. It has been demonstrated that phytosterols significantly affect growth regulation and antioxidant capacity poultry pigs; however, their role ruminants remains unclear. This study aimed to investigate the effects of phytosterol lick blocks on performance, serum biochemical rumen fermentation parameters Tibetan sheep. Fifteen 5‐month‐old sheep (29.16 ± 1.51 kg) were randomly assigned three...
Abstract Background Yak ( Poephagus grunniens ) production on the Qinghai–Tibet Plateau is influenced heavily by quality of natural forage, which can vary significantly in both and quantity. Therefore, timely accurate monitoring forage variables essential for optimizing livestock this region. Methods This study investigated use near‐infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) as a tool estimating composition forage. A total 301 samples were collected, their spectral data acquired using NIRS. Conventional...
This study compared growth performance, serum biochemical indicators, rumen fermentation parameters, bacterial structure, and fecal structure of cattle yaks, fed for two months, given a feed containing concentrate to roughage ratio 7: 3 on dry matter basis. Compared with cattle, yak showed better performance. The results that the albumin: globulin in yaks was significantly higher than cattle. Aspartate aminotransferase, indirect bilirubin, creatine kinase, lactate dehydrogenase total...
Abstract The aim of this study was to investigate the effects ensiled agricultural byproducts from Qinghai-Tibet plateau on growth performance, rumen microbiota, ruminal epithelium morphology, and nutrient transport-related gene expression in Tibetan sheep. Fourteen male sheep were randomly assigned one two diets: an untreated diet (without silage inoculum, CON, n = 7) or (with ESD, 7). total experimental period lasted for 84 d, including early 14 d as adaption remaining 70 data collection....
This study investigates the effect of altitude on fatty acid composition pasture grass, yak milk, and ghee Qinghai–Tibet Plateau, aiming to understand how environmental factors influence nutritional quality these products. Samples were collected from four different altitudes analyzed for profiles using gas chromatography. The analysis reveals that higher are associated with an increased prevalence beneficial unsaturated acids, such as oleic (C18:1) linoleic (C18:2n6c). These findings...
This study compared the growth performance, serum biochemical indicators, rumen fermentation parameters, bacterial structure, and fecal structure of cattle yaks fed for two months given a feed containing concentrate roughage ratio 7:3 on dry matter basis. Compared with cattle, yak showed better performance. The results that albumin/globulin in was significantly higher than cattle. Aspartate aminotransferase, indirect bilirubin, creatine kinase, lactate dehydrogenase, total cholesterol were...
Introduction Manganese (Mn) is an essential trace element for livestock, but little known about the optimal Mn source and level yak. Methods To improve yak’s feeding standards, a 48-h in vitro study was designed to examine effect of supplementary sources including sulfate (MnSO 4 ), chloride (MnCl 2 methionine (Met-Mn) at five levels, namely 35 mg/kg, 40 50 60 70 mg/kg dry matter (includes substrates), on rumen fermentation. Results showed that Met-Mn groups higher acetate ( p <...
Abstract This study aimed to examine selenite uptake in Medicago sativa L. Potted alfalfa plants were grown sterilized quartz sand and exposed 1 10 μM for 21 days. Thirty‐day‐old seedlings excised roots used determine the mechanism of alfalfa. The following patterns Selenium (Se) distribution as follows: lateral > taproots subcellular fraction (I) (III) (II). With increasing pH, Se decreased markedly. dose‐dependent net at pH 5.5 followed Michaelis–Menten kinetics. Addition phosphate ( P...
Sorghum (Sorghum bicolor) is known to have a more robust capability of phosphorus uptake than many other cereal plants, which could be attributed its phosphate transporter 1 (Pht1) that has high affinity. There are eleven SbPht1 genes in the sorghum genome, nine expressed roots or shoots response deficiency (low-P). The molecular features these were investigated by gene expression analysis, subcellular localization, and yeast mutant complementation growth assay. They found induced low-P...
To better utilize poorly fermented-oats silage on the Qinghai Tibetan Plateau, 239 samples of this biomass were collected from plateau temperate zone (PTZ), subboreal (PSBZ), and nonplateau climatic (NPCZ) in region analyzed for microbial community, chemical composition vitro gas production. Climatic factors affect bacterial α-diversity β-diversity silage, which lead to NPCZ having highest relative abundance Lactiplantibacillus plantarum. Furthermore, production analysis showed that had...
Fabaceans symbiotically interact with nitrogen-fixing rhizobacteria to form root nodules. Some fabacean specific proteins play important roles in the symbiosis. WRKY-related Protein (WRP) is a novel protein, whose functions have not been well characterized. In this study, MtWRP1 was functionally characterized Medicago truncatula. It contains WRKY domain at C-terminal and transmembrane (TM) N-terminal, its highly similar N-terminal of group I proteins. The TM homologous eukaryotic cytochrome...
There is little information available on milk intake and energy nitrogen requirements of growing yak calves. This study aimed to fill this important gap, as could be beneficial in designing a system wean calves earlier than natural time. We determined the average daily gain balances 4-month-old female (48.8 ± 2.45 kg, n = 8). The were allowed suck once day fed an ad libitum concentrate: hay diet at ratio 60:40. Milk averaged 540 26 g/d, yielding 2.28 0.112 MJ/d, which was 13% gross (GEI)....
