Japanese eels were collected from a commercial eel farm in Guangdong Province, China. The eels selected for this study were farmed individuals that had not undergone artificial induction for maturation. The samples included three female eels (O1, O2, O3; 997.3 ± 143.1 g; 841.7 ± 18 mm) and three male eels (T1, T2, T3; 407.0 ± 18.5 g; 691.3 ± 2.1 mm). To minimize suffering, the eels were anesthetized using MS-222 at a concentration of 0.1% prior to sampling.

All experimental animals in this study were offspring of M. amblycephala “Huahai No. 1”, which were bred simultaneously at the Ezhou breeding facility of Huazhong Agricultural University and reared under identical conditions in the same pool. At four months, total length (TL), body length (BL) and body weight (BW) of the fish were measured.

The filamentous fungus Magnaporthe oryzae is the causal agent of rice blast, a highly destructive disease affecting cultivated rice worldwide. Through decades of study, M. oryzae has become a model fungus for understanding the physiological and pathogenic molecular mechanisms in plant pathogenic fungi (1). The infection process of M. oryzae begins when its conidium adheres to the host surface.

AbstractThis research utilized a compensatory growth phenomenon aimed at reducing the use of fishmeal in aquatic animal feed. However, the compensatory growth triggered by fishmeal restriction with novel protein replacement has yet to be understood.

AbstractCreatine is a feed additive with physiological pleiotropic properties and also an energy homeostasis protector in vertebrates and is successfully used in terrestrial livestock and aquaculture. Here, two feeding trials were performed to investigate dietary creatine on endogenous creatine metabolism and physiological reprogramming in largemouth bass.

Seven Cas13 orthologs were codon-optimized and synthesized by Kingsley Company. The pRGEB32-GhU6.7-NPTII vector was linearized using BstBI and XbaI. Subsequently, the full-length Cas13 was ligated into the linearized pRGEB32-GhU6.7-NPTII using the ClonExpress® II One Step Cloning Kit to obtain pRGEB32-GhU6.7-Cas13-NPTII. The tRNA-gRNA transcription unit has been used to effectively enhance crRNA transcription in the CRISPR/Cas system for plant genome editing [47, 75, 76].

The winter wheat cultivar AK58 was used in this study. After being sterilized with 75% ethanol for 45 s, the seeds were soaked in water containing 1.6% H2O2 for 24 h at room temperature and pre-germinated on wet filter paper. The germinated seeds were transferred to soil and grown in a growth chamber with 16 h light and 8 h dark cycle at 22 °C for normal growth and at 4 °C for vernalization treatment. For V0 treatment, plants were grown at 22 °C for 14 days.

To determine whether a region of the genome qualifies as a TAD, we defined four representative TAD features: horizontal border strength (H), vertical border strength (V), vertex area (Va), and diamond score (Fig. 1). These features are extracted from the observed/expected matrix, computed using the Hi-C matrix normalized by iterative correction and eigenvector decomposition (ICE) [44].

AbstractThis study aimed to investigate the effects of dietary protein source (DPS) and extrusion temperature (ET) on the physical qualities of extruded grass carp feed and the growth performance, tissue composition, and gut microbiota of these animals. We used a 2 × 2 factorial experimental design, with DPSs consisting of mostly plant or fishmeal proteins extruded at 120 °C (DP1 and DA1 diets) or 140 °C (DP2 and DA2 diets) for grass carp.
