The Maternal-Infant Research on Environmental Chemicals (MIREC) Study was established to obtain Canadian biomonitoring data for pregnant women and their infants, examine potential adverse health effects of prenatal exposure priority environmental chemicals pregnancy infant health.Women were recruited during the first trimester from 10 sites across Canada followed through delivery. Questionnaires administered post-delivery collect information demographics, occupation, life style, medical...
Increasing evidence suggests that homeodomain-leucine zipper I (HD-Zip) transcription factors play important roles in abiotic stress responses, but no HD-Zip proteins have been reported maize. Here, a drought-induced gene, Zmhdz10, was isolated from maize and characterized for its role responses. Real-time quantitative PCR showed expression of Zmhdz10 also induced by salt ABA. Transient Zmhdz10-green fluorescent protein (GFP) fusion onion cells nuclear localization Zmhdz10. Yeast hybrid...
Whole-genome duplication events (polyploidy events) and gene loss have played important roles in the evolution of legumes. Here we show that vast majority Hsf duplications resulted from whole genome rather than tandem duplication, significant differences retention exist between species. By searching for intraspecies colinearity (microsynteny) dating age distributions duplicated genes, found accounted 42 46 Hsf-containing segments Glycine max, while paired were rarely identified Lotus...
Bioavailable silicon (silicic acid) is considered to be beneficial for plant growth and development.This study therefore aimed determine the effects of silicic acid [Si(OH)4] potassium bicarbonate (KHCO3) application on strawberry (Fragaria x ananassa Duch) plants' nutrient uptake leaf wax formation.The plants (cvs Festival Fortuna) were grown in a rhizosphere cooling system (RCS) at mean temperature 18°C ±2.Accumulation nutrients parts was analysed by using inductively coupled plasmaoptical...
Bisphenol A (BPA) is used in the production of polycarbonate plastics and epoxy resins for baby bottles, liners canned food, many other consumer products. Previously, BPA has been shown to reduce activity several antioxidant enzymes, which may contribute oxidative stress. However, underlying mechanism BPA-mediated effect upon enzyme unknown. Antioxidant phase II metabolizing enzymes protect cells from stress are transcriptionally activated by Nrf1 Nrf2 factors through their cis-regulatory...
Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), defined by the American Liver Society as buildup of extra fat in cells that is not caused alcohol, most common North America. Obesity and type 2 diabetes are viewed major causes NAFLD. Environmental contaminants have also been implicated development Northern populations exposed to a myriad persistent organic pollutants including polychlorinated biphenyls, organochlorine pesticides, flame retardants, toxic metals, while affected higher rates obesity...
Flax is an economic crop with a long history. It grown worldwide and mainly used for edible oil, industry, textiles. Here, we reported high-quality genome assembly "Neiya No. 9", popular variety widely in China. Combining PacBio reads, Hi-C sequencing, genetic map previously, of 473.55 Mb was constructed, which covers ~94.7% the flax genome. These sequences were anchored onto 15 chromosomes. The N50 lengths contig scaffold 0.91 31.72 Mb, respectively. A total 32,786 protein-coding genes...
To compare the differences in floral composition and functions between two types of microbiota, ileal contents feces were collected from Sprague Dawley (SD) rats fed a conventional or specific-pathogen free (SPF) environment high-fat diet (HFD), V3–V4 region 16S ribosomal ribonucleic acid (rRNA) gene these was then amplified sequenced. Compared with feces, about 60% bacterial genera ileum exclusive, low abundance (operational taxonomic units (OTUs) < 1000). Of bacteria shared few highly...
Huang-lian (Coptis plants in China) are essential medicinal China, C. chinensis var. and deltoidea have been domesticated cultivated for 700 years. In this study, the genetic diversity patterns biogeographical information of their wild relatives Coptis species were assessed using three plastids DNA regions. A total 186 individuals from twenty-seven populations representing two four collected analysed. Twenty-four haplotypes six identified when plastid spacers combined. Historical...
Abstract Weanling male Sprague–Dawley rats were administered semi‐purified isocaloric diet containing soy oil (SO), seal (SE), docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), fish (FO) or lard (LA) for 28 days, and then gavaged with 0, 1 3 mg MeHg kg −1 body weight per day fed the same 14 days. Serum 24 h urine samples collected on of necropsy, analyzed markers kidney function diseases. Kidney slices para‐amino‐hippurate (PAH) tetraethylammonium (TEA) uptake, total mercury content, examined pathological...
The genetic relationships among 24 Indian jujube cultivars (Ziziphus mauritiana Lam.) were evaluated by genotyping the microsatellite loci using simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers. SSR scored fluorescent labelling and automated detection systems for high-throughput capillary electrophoresis high-resolution gel electrophoresis. Out of 29 newly characterized loci, 26 considered as polymorphic with a total 181 alleles obtained. number ranged from 2-12, while polymorphism information content...
We previously reported that dietary acrylamide, at doses (10 and 50 mg/kg diet) known to cause rodent tumors, lowered serum total high density lipoprotein testosterone, increased lipase, lymphocytes levels together with other hematological parameters in male F344 rats exposed for 10 weeks (doi: 10.1016/j.etap.2014.11.009 [1]). Here we present data related the role of food-borne acrylamide exposure (at 0, 5, presence low (7% wt/wt) or (23.9% fat on urinary markers oxidative stress...
Global concerns of methylmercury (MeHg) exposure have been raised, especially on its effects pregnant women. Recent epidemiological studies revealed associations between maternal blood/hair MeHg concentrations, adverse pregnancy outcomes, and developmental deficits. However, the underlying mechanisms remain unclear.In this study, we characterized undifferentiated human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) extrapolated to development.hESCs were exposed 0, 1, 5, 10, 50, 100 or 200nM for 24 h 6 d.
