Abstract Cotton is an economically important crop throughout the world and a pioneer in salt stress tolerance research. Investigation of genetic regulation salinity will provide information for stress-resistant breeding. Here, we employed next-generation RNA-Seq technology to elucidate salt-tolerant mechanisms cotton using diploid species Gossypium davidsonii which has superior tolerance. A total 4744 5337 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were found be involved roots leaves,...
Cotton is an important industrial crop worldwide and upland cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) most widely cultivated in the world. Due to ever-increasing water deficit, drought stress brings a major threat production. Thus, it reveal genetic basis under develop tolerant cultivars. To address this issue, present study, 319 accessions were genotyped by 55,060 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) from high-density CottonSNP80K array phenotyped nine tolerance related traits. The two datasets used...
High-throughput genotyping platforms play important roles in plant genomic studies. Cotton (Gossypium spp.) is the world's natural textile fiber and oil crop. Upland cotton accounts for more than 90% of production, however, modern upland cultivars have narrow genetic diversity. The amounts sequencing re-sequencing data released make it possible to develop a high-quality single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) array intraspecific detection cotton.Here we report high-throughput CottonSNP80K its...
Numerous studies have focused on the regulation of gene expression in response to salt stress at transcriptional level; however, little is known about this process post-transcriptional level. Using a diploid D genome wild salinity-tolerant cotton species, Gossypium davidsonii, we analyzed alternative splicing (AS) genes related by comparing high-throughput transcriptomes from salt-treated and well-watered roots leaves. A total 14,172 AS events were identified involving 6798 genes, which...
The brain of hypoxia-tolerant vertebrates is known to survive extreme limitations oxygen in part because very low rates energy production and utilization. To assess if similar adaptations may be involved humans during hypoxia adaptation over generational time, volunteer Quechua natives, indigenous the high Andes between about 3,700 4,900 m altitude, served as subjects positron emission tomographic measurements regional glucose metabolic rates. Two states were analyzed: (a) presumed normal...
Summary Suberin acts as stress‐induced antipathogen barrier in the root cell wall. CYP 86A1 encodes cytochrome P450 fatty acid ω‐hydroxylase, which has been reported to be a key enzyme for suberin biosynthesis; however, its role resistance fungi and mechanisms related immune responses remain unknown. Here, we identified disease resistance‐related gene, Gb 86A1‐1 , from Gossypium barbadense cv. Hai7124. There were three homologs of cotton, are specifically expressed roots induced by...
Global climate changes cause an increase of abiotic and biotic stresses that tremendously threaten the world's crop security. However, studies on broad-spectrum response pathways involved in are relatively rare. Here, by comparing time-dependent transcriptional co-expression analysis cotton (Gossypium hirsutum) root tissues under stress conditions, we discovered common stress-responsive genes metabolism different stresses, which included circadian rhythm, thiamine galactose metabolism,...
Abstract This article develops a dynamic rational expectations general equilibrium framework that links house value to fundamental economic variables such as income growth, demographics, migration, and land supply. Our handles nonstationary dynamics well structural changes in fundamentals are commonplace transition economies. Applying the Beijing, we find price rent under reasonable parameterizations of model substantially lower than data. We explore potential explanations for discrepancies between
Salinity is one of the most significant environmental factors limiting productivity cotton. However, key genetic components responsible for reduction in cotton yield saline-alkali soils are still unclear.Here, we evaluated three main lint yield, single boll weight (SBW), percentage (LP) and number per plant (BNPP), across 316 G. hirsutum accessions under four salt conditions over two years. Phenotypic analysis indicated that LP was unchanged different conditions, however BNPP decreased...
Programmed cell death (PCD) is an important form to protect plants from pathogen attack. However, must precisely control the PCD process under microbe attacks avoid detrimental effects. The complexity of how balance defense activation and requires further clarification. Lesion mimic mutants constitute excellent material study crosstalk between them. Here, we identified a Gossypium hirsutum (cotton) lesion mutant (Ghlmm), which exhibits necrotic leaf damage enhanced disease resistance....
After the 2009 influenza A(H1N1)pdm09 pandemic, China established its first severe acute respiratory infections (SARI) sentinel surveillance system.We analyzed data from SARI cases in 10 hospitals provinces February 2011 to October 2013.Among 5,644 cases, 330 (6%) were influenza-positive. Among these, 62% A and 38% B. Compared with influenza-negative influenza-positive had a higher median age (20.0 years vs.11.0, p=0.003) more likely have at least one underlying chronic medical condition...
Aquaporins (AQPs) are integral membrane proteins from a larger family of major intrinsic (MIPs) and function in huge variety processes such as water transport, plant growth stress response. The availability the whole-genome data different cotton species allows us to study systematic evolution AQPs on genome-wide level.Here, total 53, 58, 113 111 AQP genes were identified G. arboreum, raimondii, hirsutum barbadense, respectively. A comprehensive analysis AQPs, involved exon/intron structure,...
Abstract Gossypium barbadense, which is one of several species cotton, well known for its superior fiber quality. However, the genetic basis high-quality remains largely unexplored. Here, we resequenced 269 G. barbadense accessions. Phylogenetic structure analysis showed that set accessions was clustered into 3 groups: G1 and G2 mainly included modern cultivars from Xinjiang, China, G3 related to widely introduced in different regions worldwide. A genome-wide association study 5 quality...
The observation that the amount of lactate formed during hypobaric hypoxia decreases with severity has become known as "lactate paradox." We used noninvasive 31P magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) to further probe this problem and explore nature muscle metabolism rest-exercise-recovery transitions in Sherpas indigenous high Himalayas Nepal. MRS data were obtained using a whole body 1-m bore, 1.5-T Phillips Gyroscan spectrometer. Muscle-specific localization acquisition was achieved by...
Abstract Background Sea island cotton ( Gossypium barbadense ) has markedly superior high quality fibers, which plays an important role in the textile industry and acts as a donor for upland G. hirsutum fiber improvement. The genetic characteristics analysis identification of key genes will be helpful to understand mechanism development breeding utilization sea cotton. Results In this study, 279 accessions were collected from different origins genotyping phenotyping traits. A set 6303 single...
Fiber length, fiber strength, and micronaire are the main quality parameters in cotton. Thus, mining elite stable loci/alleles related to traits elucidating relationship between two may accelerate genetic improvement of Here, genome-wide association analysis (GWAS) was performed for based on phenotypic data, 56,010 high-quality single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) using 242 upland cotton accessions under 12 field environments were obtained. Phenotypic exhibited that length (FL) had a...
This study examines dynamic linkages among nine European public real estate markets, with particular attention to the impact of recent establishment Economic and Monetary Union (EMU). Forecast error variance decomposition results show that markets larger EMU economies (Germany, France, Netherlands) became more integrated other after in 1999. By contrast, increased market integration is not found for some smaller (Belgium Spain). Also, non-EMU (United Kingdom, Switzerland, Denmark) exhibited...
