Chinese cordyceps, also known as “Dong Chong Xia Cao” in Chinese, which means being worm winter and herb summer, is the fruiting body of Ophiocordyceps sinensis developed from cadaver mum...
Singapore grouper iridovirus (SGIV) is a devastating aquaculture virus responsible for heavy economic losses to grouper, Epinephelus sp. aquaculture. The aim of this study was develop rapid and sensitive detection method SGIV infections in infected groupers.We previously generated DNA aptamers against SGIV-infected cells. In study, we established characterized novel aptamer (Q3)-based enzyme-linked apta-sorbent assay (ELASA) the infection coioides. Q3-based ELASA could detect rapidly vitro...
The preparation and characterisation of food-grade chitosan from housefly larvae are reported. A refinement procedure was developed to remove larval mouth hooks the primary product, which greatly improved quality final product simplified production procedures. Different factors affecting were studied an orthogonal experiment designed determine optimal conditions. When prepared under reaction conditions, end snow-white in colour, had a high deacetylation percentage, good viscosity, low ash...
Ophiocordyceps sinensis (Berk.) is an entomopathogenic fungus endemic to the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. It parasitizes and mummifies underground ghost moth larvae, then produces a fruiting body. The fungus-insect complex, called Chinese cordyceps or "DongChongXiaCao," not only valuable traditional medicine, but also major source of income for numerous Himalayan residents. Here, taking advantage rapid advances in single-molecule sequencing, we assembled highly contiguous genome assembly O....
Abstract Background HearMNPV, a nucleopolyhedrovirus (NPV), which infects the cotton bollworm, Helicoverpa armigera , comprises multiple rod-shaped nucleocapsids in virion(as detected by electron microscopy). HearMNPV shows different host range compared with H. single-nucleocapsid NPV (HearSNPV). To better understand genome was sequenced and analyzed. Methods The morphology of observed microscope. qPCR used to determine replication kinetics infectious for vivo . A random genomic library...
Abstract Insects have a large family of C‐type lectins involved in cell adhesion, pathogen recognition and activation immune responses. In this study, 32 transcripts encoding lectin domain proteins (CTLDPs) were identified from the Thitarodes xiaojinensis transcriptome. According to their structures, six CTLDPs with one carbohydrate‐recognition (CRD) classified into CTL‐S subfamily. The other 23 two CRDs grouped immulectin (IML) remaining three extra regulatory domains sorted CTL‐X...
Chinese cordyceps is a well-known and valuable traditional medicine that forms after Ophiocordyceps sinensis parasitizes ghost moth larvae. The low natural infection rate of O. limits large-scale artificial cultivation cordyceps, the invasion process unclear. To investigate temporal spatial regulation when enters moths, we constructed an transformant stably expresses green fluorescent protein (GFP). Inoculating Thitarodes xiaojinensis larvae with high concentration GFP-labeled , observed...
Allotetraploid F1 hybrids (4nF1) (AABB, 4n = 148) were generated from the distant hybridization of Carassius auratus red var. (RCC) (AA, 2n 100) (♀) × Megalobrama amblycephala (BSB) (BB, 48) (♂). It has been reported that Hox gene clusters are highly conserved among plants and vertebrates. In this study, we investigated genomic organization in allotetraploid their parents to investigate polyploidization process. There three copies genes 4nF1 hybrids, two RCC one copy BSB. addition, obvious...
Abstract Background Ophiocordyceps sinensis (Berk.) is a well-known entomopathogenic and medicinal fungus. It parasitizes mummifies the underground ghost moth larvae to produce fruiting body named Chinese cordyceps. Specific for fungus, O. experiences biotrophic vegetative growth period spanning over 5 months. During this growth, it appears successively in host hemocoel three/four morphotypes, namely, yeast-like blastospores (subdivided into proliferative (BP) stationary phase (BS)),...
Abstract Purified occlusion bodies (OBs) of Mythimna (formerly Pseudaletia ) unipuncta (the true armyworm) granulovirus Hawaiian strain (MyunGV-A) were observed, showing typical GV morphological characteristics under scanning and transmission electron microscopy (EM). The genome MyunGV-A was completely sequenced analysed. is 176,677 bp in size, with a G+C content 39.79%. It contains 183 open reading frames (ORFs) encoding 50 or more amino acids minimal overlap. Comparison TnGV, XcGV, HearGV...
Ophiocordyceps sinensis exhibits more than 5 months of vegetative growth in Thitarodes xiaojinensis hemocoel. The peculiar development process O. has been elucidated through morphological observation and omics technology; however, little information reported regarding the changes that occur host T. xiaojinensis. RNA sequencing data showed when blastospores were proliferative stage, greatest change infected larval fat body was selectively upregulated immune recognition antimicrobial peptide...
Tri-ortho-cresyl phosphate (TOCP) has been used commercially as a plasticizer and flame retardant, which reported to cause multiple toxicities in humans other animals. However, the effect of TOCP on female reproductive system is still unclear. The aim this investigation was evaluate toxicity avian investigate its molecular mechanism. In current study, 50 adult hens were given single oral dose (750 mg/kg). Egg laid by harvested counted. quality assessed determining shell strength thickness....
