Phylogenomic analyses have helped resolve many recalcitrant relationships in the angiosperm tree of life, yet phylogenetic resolution backbone Leguminosae, one largest and most economically ecologically important families, remains poor due to generally limited molecular data incomplete taxon sampling previous studies. Here, we Leguminosae's thorniest nodes through comprehensive analysis plastome-scale using multiple modified coding noncoding sets 187 species representing almost all major...
Cycads represent one of the most ancient lineages living seed plants. Identifying genomic features uniquely shared by cycads and other extant plants, but not non-seed-producing may shed light on origin key innovations, as well early diversification Here, we report 10.5-Gb reference genome Cycas panzhihuaensis, complemented transcriptomes 339 cycad species. Nuclear plastid phylogenomic analyses strongly suggest that Ginkgo form a clade sister to all gymnosperms, in contrast mitochondrial...
Abstract Background A pangenome aims to capture the complete genetic diversity within a species and reduce bias in analysis inherent using single reference genome. However, current linear format of most plant pangenomes limits presentation position information for novel sequences. Graph have been developed overcome this limitation. bioinformatics tools graph genomes are lacking. Results To problem, we develop strategy construction downstream pipeline (PSVCP) that captures variants’ while...
Excessive cadmium (Cd) accumulation in grains of rice (Oryza sativa L.) is a risk to food security. The transporters the nodes are involved distribution mineral elements including toxic different tissues such as grains. However, mechanism Cd largely unknown. Here, we report node-expressed transporter gene, OsCCX2, putative cation/calcium exchanger, mediating rice. Knockout OsCCX2 caused remarkable reduction content Further study showed that disruption this gene led reduced root-to-shoot...
The Amur ide (Leuciscus waleckii) is a cyprinid fish that widely distributed in Northeast Asia. Lake Dali Nur population inhabits one of the most extreme aquatic environments on Earth, with an alkalinity up to 50 mmol/L (pH 9.6), thus providing exceptional model which characterize mechanisms genomic evolution underlying adaptation environments. Here, we developed reference genome assembly for L. waleckii from Nur. Intriguingly, identified unusual expanded long terminal repeats (LTRs) higher...
A viral metagenomic analysis of five surface and two bottom water (878 meters below surface, mbs, 3,357 mbs) samples from Prydz Bay, was conducted during February-March 2015. The results demonstrated that most the DNA viruses were dsDNA (79.73-94.06%, except at PBI1, 37.51%). Of these, Caudovirales (
Abstract Background The management of myocardial ischemia–reperfusion injury (MIRI) presents continuous therapeutic challenges. NAD-dependent deacetylase Sirtuin 6 (Sirt6) plays distinct roles in various disease contexts and is hence investigated for potential applications MIRI. This study aimed to examine the impact Sirt6-overexpressing exosomes derived from adipose stem cells (S-ASC-Exo) on MIRI, focusing their influence AIM2-pyroptosis mitophagy processes. sirtuin family proteins,...
Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a modern refractory disease with steadily increasing incidence worldwide that urgently requires effective and safe therapies. Therapeutic peptides delivered using nanocarriers have shown promising developments for the treatment of UC. We developed novel colon-accumulating oral drug delivery nanoplatform consisting
The water lily order Nymphaeales includes ~100 species and all grow into aquatic herbs. Most of them are not only economic crops but have, for thousands years, been regarded as cultural symbols, especially in Buddhism Hinduism. Water forms an early angiosperm branch, occupying vital roles evolutionary biology. With the advent rapid development omic techniques bioinformatic software, research on biology has achieved unprecedented success. In this review, we summarized a series recent...
Buffel grass [Pennisetum ciliare (L.) Link] has been widely introduced in the Australian rangelands as a consequence of its value for productive grazing, but tends to competitively establish non-target areas such remnant vegetation. In this study, we examined influence landscape-scale and local-scale variables had upon distribution buffel poplar box (Eucalyptus populnea F.Muell.) dominant woodland fragments Brigalow Bioregion, Queensland. thought region were measured at 60 sites, which...
Abstract Huangqin-tang (HQT) is a traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) formula widely used for the treatment of inflammatory bowel disease in China. However, molecular mechanisms by which HQT protects colon are unclear. We studied protective effects and underlying an experimental mouse model vitro. In vivo , dextran sodium sulphate (DSS)-induced acute chronic colitis were significantly ameliorated as gauged phenotypic, histopathologic manifestations disease. Mechanistically, DSS-induced...
Abstract Trametes species are efficient wood decomposers that widespread throughout the world. Mitogenomes have been widely used to understand phylogeny and evolution of fungi. Up now, two mitogenomes from genus revealed. In present study, complete novel species, versicolor T. coccinea , were assembled compared with other Polyporales mitogenomes. Both contained circular DNA molecules, sizes 67,318 bp 99,976 bp, respectively. Comparative mitogenomic analysis indicated gene number, length base...
The Yarlung Zangbo River is the largest river on Tibetan Plateau, which considered a hotspot of biodiversity conservation efforts. In this study, fish fauna middle and lower was investigated, to explore species composition spatial patterns assemblages as well associated environmental factors. Thirty-four sites across an elevation 589 3410 m were sampled in 2015 2016. A total 35 species—28 native seven exotic—was collected. Of these species, four described for first time, 14 endemic...
Bamboo and rattan are valuable resources that can be used as nature-based solutions to several pressing global challenges by contributing poverty reduction, the development of green industries trade, adaptation mitigation climate change, preservation environment. Largely growing in less-developed regions tropics subtropics, two plant groups welcomed local communities they provide a wide variety ecofriendly, sustainable products, livelihood opportunities, ecosystem services.
The relative impacts of grazing, fire and invasion by buffel grass (Cenchrus ciliaris) on floristic diversity composition were evaluated for a Eucalyptus savanna ecosystem used rangeland pastoralism in north-eastern Australia. Floristic data from 10-year livestock grazing experiment spanning periods drought above-average rainfall multi-scaled varying levels analysed. These original supplemented the results other studies. Light cattle had no discernible plant burning resulted short-term pulse...
Cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL) is an increasing public-health problem in the countries of Mediterranean region. In southern Iran, for example, incidence CL has more than doubled over last decade. As part investigation this worrying trend, leishmanial infections wild rodents that may act as reservoir hosts were investigated Iranian province Fars. Overall, 82 rodents, 56 them Libyan jirds (Meriones libycus), collected, live traps, from a new, hypo-endemic focus zoonotic CL. When Giemsa-stained...
