Open AccessMulti-omics analysis reveals gut microbiota-ovary axis contributed to the follicular development difference between Meishan and Landrace × Yorkshire sows
The mechanism by which Meishan (MS) sows are superior to white crossbred sows in ovarian follicle development remains unclear. Given gut microbiota could regulate female ovarian function and reproductive capac...

Panoramix SUMOylation on chromatin connects the piRNA pathway to the cellular heterochromatin machinery
Nuclear Argonaute proteins, guided by small RNAs, mediate sequence-specific heterochromatin formation. The molecular principles that link Argonaute-small RNA complexes to cellular heterochromatin effectors on ...

Open AccessGut microbiota contributes to the development of endometrial glands in gilts during the ovary-dependent period
The hyper-prolificacy Meishan gilts achieved a superior endometrial gland development (EGD) than white crossbred gilts during the ovary-independent period (before 60 d of age). Then, the EGD continues under th...

In vitro regeneration system of Halogeton glomeratus: an important halophyte
Halogeton glomeratus (H. glomeratus) is one of the most important halophytes in Asia, and the research on the genes and salt-tolerant mechanisms of this species is limited because of the lack of an optimal and ef...

Halophyte Halogeton glomeratus, a promising candidate for phytoremediation of heavy metal-contaminated saline soils
Phytoremediation by halophytes has been widely advocated as an alternative approach to remediate salt-affected and heavy metal-contaminated soils. The present study was the first to evaluate the phytoremediati...

The nascent RNA binding complex SFiNX licenses piRNA-guided heterochromatin formation
The PIWI-interacting RNA (piRNA) pathway protects genome integrity in part through establishing repressive heterochromatin at transposon loci. Silencing requires piRNA-guided targeting of nuclear PIWI proteins...

Development and characterization of microsatellite markers based on whole-genome sequences and pathogenicity differentiation of Pyrenophora graminea, the causative agent of barley leaf stripe
Barley leaf stripe, caused by the fungal pathogen Pyrenophora graminea, is becoming a destructive disease in the Hexi corridor of the Gansu province (China). Knowledge of the genetic diversity, population structu...

Open AccessSingle-molecule real-time transcript sequencing facilitates common wheat genome annotation and grain transcriptome research
The large and complex hexaploid genome has greatly hindered genomics studies of common wheat (Triticum aestivum, AABBDD). Here, we investigated transcripts in common wheat develo** caryopses using the emerging ...

Identification of ERF genes in peanuts and functional analysis of AhERF008 and AhERF019 in abiotic stress response
Ethylene-responsive factor (ERF) play an important role in regulating gene expression in plant development and response to stresses. In peanuts (Arachis hypogaea L.), which produce flowers aerially and pods under...

Knockdown of endogenous myostatin promotes sheep myoblast proliferation
Myostatin (MSTN), is a known negative regulator of myogenesis. Silencing of the function of MSTN could result in increasing muscle mass in mice. To determine the function of endogenous MSTN expression on proli...

Cytosolic protection against ultraviolet induced DNA damage by blueberry anthocyanins and anthocyanidins in hepatocarcinoma HepG2 cells
UV-induced DNA damage plays a key role in the etiology of certain diseases. The ability of blueberry anthocyanins and anthocyanidins (BA) to protect cellular DNA from UV-induced damage was investigated. BA wer...

Synergistic interactions between Glomus mosseae and Bradyrhizobium japonicum in enhancing proton release from nodules and hyphae
Soybean (Glycine max L. Merr.) seedlings were inoculated with Glomus mosseae (GM) and Bradyrhizobium japonicum (BJ) together or separately to study the effect of interactions on net H+ effluxes of nodules or extr...

Recent insertion of a 52-kb mitochondrial DNA segment in the wheat lineage
The assembly of a 1.3-Mb size region of the wheat genome has provided the opportunity to study a recent nuclear mitochondrial DNA insertion (NUMT). In the present study, we have studied two bacterial artificia...

Open AccessA highly conserved gene island of three genes on chromosome 3B of hexaploid wheat: diverse gene function and genomic structure maintained in a tightly linked block
The complexity of the wheat genome has resulted from waves of retrotransposable element insertions. Gene deletions and disruptions generated by the fast replacement of repetitive elements in wheat have resulte...
