Background Internal transcribed spacer of nuclear ribosomal DNA (nrDNA) is already one the most popular phylogenetic and barcoding markers. However, existence its multiple copies has complicated such usage a detailed characterization intra-genomic variations critical to address concerns. Methodology/Principal Findings In this study, we used sequence-tagged pyrosequencing genome-wide analyses characterize internal 2 (ITS2) regions from 178 plant species. We discovered that mutation ITS2...
The complete chloroplast (cp) genome of Lonicera japonica, a common ornamental and medicinal plant in North America East Asia, was sequenced analyzed. length the L. japonica cp is 155,078 bp, contains pair inverted repeat regions (IRa IRb), 23,774 bp each, as well large (LSC, 88,858 bp) small (SSC, 18,672 single-copy regions. A total 129 genes were identified genome, 16 which duplicated within IR Relative to other genomes, had unique rearrangement between trnI-CAU trnN-GUU. In cpDNA, rps19,...
Background Lonicera japonica Thunb. is a plant used in traditional Chinese medicine known for its anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidative, anti-carcinogenic, and antiviral pharmacological properties. The major active secondary metabolites of this are chlorogenic acid (CGA) luteoloside. While the biosynthetic pathways these relatively well known, genetic information available species, especially ingredients, limited. Methodology/Principal Findings We obtained one million reads (average length 400...
This study sought to determine the effects of rosemary leaf powder (RP) on laying performance, egg quality, serum indices, gut barrier function, and cecal microbiota metabolites late-phase hens. A total 84 "Jing Tint 6" hens at 65-week old were randomly divided into 2 groups fed either a basal diet (CON) or supplemented with 0.3% RP. Our revealed that RP improved Haugh unit decreased yolk n-6/n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) ratio hens, increased superoxide dismutase (SOD), jejunal...
Abstract Background Rosemary extract (RE) has been reported to exert antioxidant property. However, the application of RE in late-phase laying hens on egg quality, intestinal barrier and microbiota, oviductal function not systematically studied. This study was investigated detect potential effects performance, serum parameters, heath, cecal microbiota metabolism, gene expressions hens. A total 210 65-week-old “Jing Tint 6” were randomly allocated into five treatments with six replicates...
Corrected by: Erratum for: Identification of Lonicera japonica and its Related Species Using the DNA Barcoding MethodPlanta Med 2011; 77(03): E10-E10DOI: 10.1055/s-0030-1250666
DNA barcoding is a novel molecular identification method that aids in identifying traditional Chinese materia medica using techniques. However, further study needed to assess the stability and accuracy of barcoding. Flos Lonicerae Japonicae, typical medicinal flower, widely used China, Korea, other Southeast Asian countries. Japonicae its closely related species have been misused traded at varying for wide range prices. Therefore, must be accurately identified. In this study, ITS2 psbA-trnH...
In this study, we tested the applicability of core DNA barcode matK for identifying species within Fabaceae family. Based on an evaluation genetic variation, barcoding gaps, and discrimination power, is a useful species. Of 1355 plant samples collected from 1079 belonging to 409 diverse genera, precisely identified approximately 80 % 96 them at genus levels, respectively. Therefore, our research indicates that region valuable marker Fabaceae.
This study aimed to investigate the potential effects of OEO on production performance, egg quality, fatty acid composition in yolk, and cecum microbiota hens late phase production. A total 350 58-week-old Jing Tint Six laying were randomly divided into five groups: (1) fed a basal diet (control); (2) + 5 mg/kg flavomycin (AGP); (3) 100 oregano essential oil 20 cinnamaldehyde (EO1); (4) 200 (EO2); (5) 300 (EO3). Compared control group, group EO2 exhibited higher (p < 0.05) during weeks 5−8...
Gynostemma pentaphyllum (Thunb.) Makino is an important producer of dammarene-type triterpenoid saponins. These saponins (gypenosides) exhibit diverse pharmacological benefits such as anticancer, antidiabetic, and immunomodulatory effects, have major potential in the pharmaceutical health care industries. Here, we employed single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) to profile transcriptomes more than 50,000 cells derived from G. shoot apexes leaves. Following cell clustering annotation,...
Abstract Background : Essential oils (EO) have the characteristics of antibacterial and anti-inflammatory, are called natural antibiotics. This study was aimed to investigate potential effects EO on production performance, egg quality, fatty acid composition in yolk cecum microbiota hens late phase production. A total 350 58-week-old Jing Tint 6 laying were randomly divided into 5 groups: 1) a basal diet (control); 2) + mg/kg flavomycin (AGP); 3) 100 oregano essential oil (OEO) 20...
Pomacea canaliculata , known as an invasive freshwater snail, is also called a golden apple snail; its survival and expansion are greatly affected by temperature. In this study, high-throughput sequencing (RNA-seq) was used to perform comparative transcriptome analysis on the muscular tissue (G_M) of snails in Guangdong Hunan. Differential gene screening performed with FDR <0.05 |log2FoldChange| >1 threshold, total 1,368 differential genes were obtained (671 showed upregulation from...
Cistanches Herba is a commonly used Chinese medicine for its tonification properties. However, it often confused and substituted with the dried succulent stems of Orobanche pycnostachya, Orobanche coerulescens, Boschniakia rossica, Cistanche salsa, Cistanche sinensis and Cynomorium songaricum. Identifying Cistanches Herba based only on morphological chemical appearance generally difficult. To develop convenient efficient identification method discriminating adulterants, second internal...
UDP-glucose 4-epimerase (UGE) is a universal enzyme responsible for interconversion of and UDP-galactose. However, the gene encoding UGE from Davallia divaricate elusive. In this study, two genes, ddUGE1 ddUGE2, were isolated cloned D. using transcriptome-guided search strategy. Two unigenes sharing high sequence identity with homologous genes selected transcriptome assembly. The enzymes, further functionally expressed in Escherichia coli, exhibit narrow substrate specificity. biochemical...
