Abstract Sex is pivotal for reproduction, healthcare and evolution. In the fish medaka, Y-chromosomal dmy (also dmrt1bY ) serves sex determiner, which activates dmrt1 male maintenance. However, how makes decision via initiating testicular differentiation has remained unknown. Here we report that autosomal gsdf a initiator. Gene addition deletion revealed was necessary sufficient maleness differentiation. We show transcription activated directly by . These results establish as first propose...
Insect herbivores depend on their host plants to acquire macro- and micronutrients. Here we asked how a specialist herbivore damaging maize pest, the western corn rootworm, finds accesses plant-derived We show that root-feeding larvae use complexes between iron benzoxazinoid secondary metabolites identify as host, forage within root system, increase growth. Maize these same benzoxazinoids for protection against generalist and, shown here, uptake. an transporter allows rootworm benefit from...
A novel 'white' laccase was purified from the deuteromycete fungus, Myrothecium verrucaria NF-05, which a high laccase-producing strain (40.2 U·ml(-1) on thirteenth day during fermentation). SDS-PAGE and native-PAGE revealed single band with activity corresponding to molecular weight of approximately 66 kDa. The enzyme had three copper one iron atoms per protein molecule determined by ICP-AES. Furthermore, both UV/visible EPR spectroscopy remained silence, indicating new metal compositions...
Abstract The significant volatilization of NH 3 during aerobic composting causes nitrogen (N) losses and environmental risks. Both iron (Fe) biochar (BC) can influence the N conversion process in composting. Fe application delay maturation materials, while enhance quality organic fertilizer. combination these two conditioners may help decrease emissions improve fertilizer quality. Therefore, this study investigates effects different doses FeCl BC on results demonstrated that Fe/BC...
Introduction Tourists’ restorative perception of the environment in rural tourism is a key factor to enhance experience and promote physical mental recovery, as well new perspective tourist psychological research. However, current research on impact tourists’ perceived destination qualities loyalty has not been deeply discussed. Methods Based Stimulus-Organism-Response (SOR) framework, this study explores relationship between qualities, well-being (hedonic eudaimonic experience), image...
Plants have evolved complex physical and chemical defense systems that allow them to withstand herbivory infestation. Composed of a mixture very-long-chain fatty acids (VLCFAs) their derivatives, cuticular wax constitutes the first line against herbivores. Here, we report function Glossy 8 (ZmGL8), which encodes 3-ketoacyl reductase belonging acid elongase complex, in orchestrating production jasmonic (JA)-mediated defenses herbivores maize (Zea mays). The mutation GL8 enhanced by activating...
Muscle quality and the physiological condition of fish are affected greatly by culture environment. In aquaculture ponds, a bio-floating bed planted with vegetation is often used to improve water quality. This study investigated growth muscle grass carp (Ctenopharyngodon idellus) cultured in ponds equipped beds. Fish were two replicated pond groups from May November. first group experimental Ipomoea aquatica, whereas other reared control without bed. Compared had better significantly lower...
Herbivore natural enemies protect plants by regulating herbivore populations. Whether they can alter the behavior of their prey to increase predation success is unknown. We investigate if and how infection entomopathogenic nematode Heterorhabditis bacteriophora changes healthy larvae western corn rootworm (Diabrotica virgifera), a major pest maize. found that nematode-infected cadavers are attractive larvae, this increases reproductive success. Nematode-infected rootworms release distinct...
Abstract Background Current methods of ethanol production from lignocelluloses generate a mixture sugars, primarily glucose and xylose; the fermentation cells are always exposed to stresses like high temperature low nutritional conditions that affect their growth productivity. Stress-tolerant strains capable using both xylose produce with yield highly desirable. Results A recombinant Zymomonas mobilis ( Z. mobilis) designated as HYMX was constructed by integrating seven genes Pfu-sHSP, yfdZ,...
Background In China, frogs play an understudied role in the spread of human sparganosis (caused by larval form Spirometra). However, our knowledge about prevalence sparganum infection remains fragmented, and taxonomic identification parasite is still controversial. Methodology/Principal findings The wild was surveyed at 145 geographical locations from 28 34 provinces/autonomous regions/municipalities China for six years. collected isolates different were subjected to molecular a multiplex...
Abstract Grass carp (Ctenopharyngodon idellus) is an economically important farmed fish. This experiment was conducted to study the effects of different culture salinities on growth and muscle quality grass carp. We found that salinity 0 – 5 had no significant effect carp, but it significantly decreased at above 5. Compared 0, protein content serum higher 3 However, all biochemical compound measured, except glucose total protein, 9. Muscle textural properties were than 7, Salinities...
Agile software developments are hotspots of development field in foreign countries.Especially, Scrum will help us to manage the project more efficiently because it is an adaptive process. method iterative incremental process commonly used with agile development. According characteristics environment and Scrum, example given elaborate how management this article.
The effects of growth-promoting hormone gibberellic acid 3 (GA3) on physiology, Pb phytoextraction, and metal detoxification mechanisms in Lolium perenne were studied. Results showed that addition GA3 alone at lower doses (1 or 10 μM) facilitated antioxidant defense L. under stress, decreased the toxicity plant shoot by increasing proportion cell wall, hence significantly enhanced photosynthesis growth, as well uptake accumulation (P < 0.05). However, these indicators opposite changes when...
Fishes exposed to different dissolved oxygen concentrations over prolonged time periods have susceptibility and adaptation mechanisms. In this study, healthy grass carp with an average weight of 214.6 ± 18.7 g were selected for long-term culture in recirculating aquaculture systems at three concentrations, i.e., 3.00 mg/L [(2.57 0.33) mg/L, DO2.57), 5.00 [(4.61 0.11) DO4.61], which was the control group, 7.00 [(6.50 0.48) DO6.50]. Blood, gill, muscle, liver samples collected after 60 d....
Iron (Fe)-homeostasis in the plastids is closely associated with Fe transport proteins that prevent from occurring its toxic free ionic forms. However, number of known protein families related to (about five) and function iron non-green limited. In present study, we report functional characterization Zea mays deficiency-related 4 (ZmFDR4), which was isolated a differentially expressed clone cDNA library deficiency-induced maize roots. ZmFDR4 homologous bacterial FliP superfamily, coexisted...
The effects of carrageenan oligosaccharide on lipid, protein oxidative changes, and moisture migration Pacific white shrimp (Litopenaeus vannamei) were evaluated, respectively, during repeated freeze–thaw (F–T) cycles. Distilled water (CK), sodium tripolyphosphate (ST), oligosaccharides (CO) subjected to samples with different Lipid oxidation was determined by lipid content, peroxide value (PV), thiobarbituric acid-reactive substances (TBARS) value, free fatty acids (FFA). Protein...
1. Foraging decisions of parasitoids are influenced by host density via density‐mediated indirect interactions. However, in the parasitoid's environment, non‐suitable herbivores also present. These non‐hosts occur different densities, which can affect a foraging behaviour. 2. The influence non‐host densities be expressed during first phase process, when use plant volatiles to locate plants infested their host. They may play role second phase, infochemicals from and locate, recognise accept...
The effect of citric acid (CA) combined with rosemary extract (RE) on post-harvest preservation Pacific white shrimp (Litopenaeus vannamei) during 8 days chilled storage was investigated. Changes in microbial, physicochemical and sensory properties muscles were all periodically analyzed. microbial parameters consisted total viable count (TVC), color difference, pH, volatile basic nitrogen (TVB-N), thiobarbituric (TBA), texture profile analysis (TPA), intrinsic fluorescence intensity (IFI)...
