Abstract Biochar and manure application can modify soil microbial community structure enhance biochemical activities. However, the studies about influence of biochar on communities different geomorphological landforms (depositional eroded landscapes) are scarce. In this study, we investigated responses activities to addition pinewood biochar, dairy (DM), mixture (DMP) at a rate 10 Mg ha −1 , respectively, in comparison with control (CNT) depositional landscape positions over 5 years. Data...
Successful seedling establishment depends on the optimum depth of seed placement especially in drought-prone conditions, providing an opportunity to exploit subsoil water and increase winter survival wheat. Coleoptile length is a key determinant for appropriate at which can be sown. Thus, understanding genetic basis coleoptile necessary important wheat breeding. We conducted genome-wide association study (GWAS) using diverse panel 298 genotypes dissect architecture length. identified nine...
Mauremys reevesii is an endangered freshwater turtle that symbolizes longevity in Chinese culture. Despite its importance, genetic studies of this species remain limited, with no genomic sequence reported to date. Here, we report a high-quality, chromosome-level M. obtained using combination Nanopore and Hi-C sequencing technologies. The 2.37 Gb genome was assembled from total ~226.80 data. contig N50 34.73 Mb, the highest value published genomes. In total, 18,238 genes were functionally...
ABSTRACT In response to environmental changes, vegetative cells of Anabaena cylindrica can differentiate into two other cell types: a heterocyst for oxic N 2 -fixation, and an enlarged spore called akinete stress survival. Akinetes normally from adjacent heterocysts. Heterocysts inhibit nearby differentiating heterocysts but induce become akinetes, rare embryogenetic induction in prokaryotes. The mechanism patterned differentiation A. has been little studied. Here, we isolated three types...
Abstract Some vegetative cells of Anabaena cylindrica are programed to differentiate semi-regularly spaced, single heterocysts along filaments. Since terminally differentiated non-dividing cells, with the sole known function for solar-powered N 2 -fixation, is it necessary a heterocyst retain entire genome (≈7.1 Mbp) from its progenitor cell? By sequencing genome, we discovered and confirmed that at least six DNA elements (≈0.12 deleted during development. The six-element deletions led...
