Abstract Background In plants, microRNAs (miRNAs) are endogenous ~22 nt RNAs that play important regulatory roles in many aspects of plant biology, including metabolism, hormone response, epigenetic control transposable elements, and stress response. Extensive studies miRNAs have been performed model plants such as rice Arabidopsis thaliana . maize, most their target genes were analyzed identified by clearly different treatments, response to low nitrate, salt drought stress. However, little...
The use of chemical fertilizers and pesticides the farming without crop rotation may negatively impact microbial community quality soils in ginger farm. It is important to improve soil properties promote healthy growth We isolated identified pathogenic Fusarium ramigenum from infected roots. then a new Bacillus paralicheniformis strain SYN-191 rhizosphere around roots, showed B. SYN-91 could inhibit F. growth, degrade proteins, dissolve silicate, decompose cellulose. treatment significantly...
Summary Heterosis, or hybrid vigour, is a predominant phenomenon in plant genetics, serving as the basis of crop breeding, but causative loci and genes underlying heterosis remain unclear many crops. Here, we present large‐scale genetic analysis using 5360 offsprings from three elite maize hybrids, which identifies 628 19 yield‐related traits with relatively high mapping resolutions. Heterotic pattern investigations show that numerous loci, mostly complete–incomplete dominance (the major...
Myostatin (Mstn) knockout mice exhibit large increases in skeletal muscle mass. However, relatively few of the genes that mediate or modify MSTN effects are known. In this study, we performed co-expression network analysis using whole transcriptome microarray data from MSTN-null and wild-type to identify involved important biological processes pathways related adipose development. Genes differentially expressed between were further analyzed for shared DNA motifs DREME. Differentially...
Comparative genomic studies can identify genes under evolutionary constraint or specialized for trait innovation. Growing evidence suggests that also acts on non-coding regulatory sequences, exerting significant impacts fitness-related traits, although it has yet to be thoroughly explored in plants. Using the assay transposase-accessible chromatin by sequencing (ATAC-seq), we profile over 80,000 maize accessible regions (ACRs), revealing ACRs evolve faster than coding genes, with about...
Maize is a key biomass resource with wide agricultural applications. Anthocyanins, potent antioxidants, offer health benefits like reducing oxidative stress. The biosynthesis of anthocyanins competes that lignin for shared metabolic precursors, which can lead to trade-offs in plant growth and feed quality. Higher content decrease silage digestibility, posing challenges livestock feed. maize brown midrib 6 (bm6) mutant, known reduced lignin, has an unclear genetic basis. Here, we identify...
Muscle development in domesticated animals is important for meat production. Furthermore, intramuscular fat content an trait of intended consumption. Here, we examined differences the expression factors related to myogenesis, adipogenesis and skeletal muscle growth during fetal lean (Yorkshire) obese (Chenghua) pig breeds. At prenatal days 50 (d50) 90 (d90), muscles sera were collected from fetuses. Histology revealed larger diameters numbers myofibers Chenghua fetuses than those Yorkshire...
Eucryptorrhynchus scrobiculatus (Motschulsky) (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) is a notorious pest of Ailanthus altissima (Mill.) Swingle (Sapindales: Simaroubaceae). E. adults typically aggregate under leaves and in soil crevices at the base A. field. We hypothesize that environmental factors conspecific signals determine their aggregation behavior. To test this, we investigated adult numbers light-exposed shaded areas sample trees conducted experiments both field lab settings. Results revealed...
Porcine mesenchymal stem cells in postnatal muscle have been demonstrated to differentiate into adipocytes. This increases adipocyte number and lipid accumulation, is thought be the origin of intramuscular fat. In this study, effects myostatin arginine on adipogenic differentiation derived from porcine (pMDSCs) were investigated vitro. Intracellular triglyceride levels reduced by exogenous increased supplementation or antibody (P<0.01). The inhibition accumulation pMDSCs was alleviated...
Maize (Zea mays) is an important model crop for transgenic studies. However, genetic transformation of maize requires embryonic calli derived from immature embryo, and the impact utilizing tissue culture methods on epigenome poorly understood. Here, we generated whole-genome MeDIP-seq data examining DNA methylation in dedifferentiated normal embryos. We observed that most embryos exhibited a increase compared to Increased at promoters was associated with down-regulated protein-coding gene...
Abstract Hybrid plants are found extensively in the wild, and they often demonstrate superior performance of complex traits over their parents other selfing plants. This phenomenon, known as heterosis, has been applied plant breeding for decades. However, process decoding hybrid genomes seriously lagged due to challenges associated with genome assembly lack appropriate methodologies subsequent representation analysis. Here, we present analysis 2 hybrids, an intraspecific between maize (Zea...
Abstract Copy number variation (CNV) is a major source of genetic and often contributes to phenotypic in maize. The duplication at the 27-kDa γ-zein locus ( qγ27 ) essential convert soft endosperm into hard quality protein maize (QPM). This unstable generally produces CNV this locus. We conducted experiments designed directly measure DNA rearrangement frequencies occurring males females different backgrounds. average frequency with which rearranges single copies 1.27 × 10 −3 varies among...
Background: Mutations in metabolic enzymes and co-administration of drugs may affect the blood concentration pirfenidone effective pulmonary fibrosis. To provide a basis for precise clinical use pirfenidone, authors analyzed correlation between steady-state trough adverse drug reactions (ADRs) examined impact CYP1A2 *1C (rs2069514) *1F (rs762551) variants on concentrations ADRs. Methods: Forty-four patients were enrolled. The was determined using high-performance liquid chromatography....
<title>Abstract</title> Comparative genomic studies have the capability to find genes that are either under evolutionary constraint for organismal living or specialized trait innovations. Meanwhile, there is a growing body of evidence suggesting can also happen on non-coding regulatory sequences, exerting profound effects fitness traits. However, majority these evidences originate from primate and has yet be thoroughly explored in plants. In this study, we adopt assay transposase-accessible...
Introduction: Fat distribution is a stronger predictor for cardiometabolic morbidity and mortality. We aimed to investigate the association of elevated iron stores, measured as serum ferritin levels, with total regional body fat. Methods: Data from 2,646 adults National Health Nutrition Examination Survey 2017–2018 was analyzed. Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry used measure overall The fat mass index (FMI) calculated by dividing (kg) square height (m²). leg trunk ratio (LTR) assess relative...
