Pomegranate (Punica granatum L.) has an ancient cultivation history and become emerging profitable fruit crop due to its attractive features such as the bright red appearance high abundance of medicinally valuable ellagitannin-based compounds in peel aril. However, limited genomic resources have restricted further elucidation genetics evolution these interesting traits. Here, we report a 274-Mb high-quality draft pomegranate genome sequence, which covers approximately 81.5% estimated 336-Mb...

Growth and productivity of rice is negatively affected by soil salinity. However, some salt-tolerant bacteria improve the health plants under saline stress. In this study, 305 were isolated from paddy in Taoyuan, China. Among these, 162 strains tested for salt-tolerance; 67.3%, 28.4%, 9.3% could grow media with NaCl concentrations 50, 100, 150 g/L, respectively. The phylogenic analysis 74 these indicates that belong to Bacillales (72%), Actinomycetales (22%), Rhizobiales (1%),...

This study aimed to explore the dynamic variations of rumen fermentation characteristics and bacterial community composition during a 24 h in vitro fermentation. A total twenty-three samples were collected from original fluid (ORF, n = 3), at 12 (R12, 10), (R24, 10). Results showed that gas production, concentrations microbial crude protein, ammonia nitrogen, individual volatile fatty acids (VFA), as well VFA branched-chain concentrations, higher R24 when compared with R12 (p < 0.05)....

Stenotrophomonas maltophilia ( S. ) is an emerging opportunistic pathogen that exhibits resistant to a majority of commonly used antibiotics. Phages have the potential serve as alternative treatment for infections. In this study, lytic phage, A1432, infecting YCR3A-1, was isolated and characterized from karst cave. Transmission electron microscopy revealed phage A1432 possesses icosahedral head shorter tail. Phage demonstrated narrow host range, with optimal multiplicity infection 0.1. The...

Two rod-shaped, non-motile bacteria were isolated from two separate salt mines in Yunnan, south-western China. These strains, designated YIM D15(T) and J21(T), Gram-negative moderately halophilic. The strains required 6-10 % NaCl (w/v; optimal) for growth. DNA G+C contents of J21(T) 49.0 mol% 48.4 mol%, respectively. predominant isoprenoid quinone was MK-7. polar lipid profiles composed predominantly diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylcholine, phosphatidylethanolamine, three unknown lipids...

Heat stress has become a significant challenge in animal husbandry and human health, posing threats to both livestock health profoundly impacting agricultural productivity. Sheng Mai San been shown effectively alleviate heat stress, yet the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. Therefore, this study established model employed as an intervention, with NAC positive control. Using histopathological analysis, Western blotting, ELISA, 16S rDNA sequencing, we investigated protective effects of...

A novel, moderately halophilic, rod-shaped bacterium, designated strain YIM D17(T), was isolated from a sample of sediment salt mine in Yunnan, south-western China. The taxonomy D17(T) investigated using polyphasic approach. Strain Gram-stain-negative, strictly aerobic and non-motile formed pink colonies on marine agar. Optimal growth occurred at 37 °C, pH 7.5-8.0 the presence 10-15 % (w/v) NaCl. major menaquinone MK-7. polar lipid profile composed predominantly diphosphatidylglycerol,...

Abstract Chinese plum ( Prunus salicina L.), also known as Japanese plum, is gaining importance because of its extensive genetic diversity and nutritional attributes that are beneficial for human health. Single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) the most abundant form genomic widely used in population genetics research. In this study, we constructed high-quality SNPs through whole-genome resequencing 67 accessions with a depth ~20× to evaluate genome-level structure. Phylogenetic analysis,...

Understanding genetic diversity is a core issue in conservation genetics. However, previous evaluations of narrowly distributed species have rarely used closely related widespread as reference. Furthermore, identifying natural hybridization signals between and widely sympatric great importance for the development programs.
