In recent years, the red swamp crayfish (Procambarus clarkii, P. clarkii) farming industry has suffered huge economic losses due to the pathogenic bacterium Spiroplasma eriocheiris (S. eriocheiris).
View Article and Find Full Text PDFBackground: Mitochondrial genomes are essential for deciphering the unique evolutionary history of seed plants. However, the rules of their extreme variation in genomic size, multi-chromosomal structure, and foreign sequences remain unresolved in most plant lineages, which further hindered the application of mitogenomes in phylogenetic analyses.
Results: Here, we took Dendrobium (Orchidaceae) which shows the great divergence of morphology and difficulty in species taxonomy as the study focus.
In recent years, the industry in charge of the cultivation of Macrobrachium nipponense (M.nipponense) has suffered significant economic losses due to an infectious pathogen called Spiroplasma eriocheiris (S.eriocheiris).

is one of the largest genera in Orchidaceae with approximately 1500 species. Many of them have been used as Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) for hundreds of years. Here, the first complete chloroplast genome sequence of was reported and characterized.

However, the adoption of such methods has been largely limited in phylogeographic studies. Therefore, in this study, , an endangered species with extremely small populations, was used as a model system to test whether the comparative plastomic approaches could screen available molecular markers for the phylogeographic study.

However, post-operative analgesia solutions still need to be devised. We investigated the effects of intra- and post-operative infusion of dexmedetomidine (Dex) combined with oxycodone during open hepatectomy.

Methods: Immunofluorescence staining and fluorescence microscopy were used to detect the classic endothelial cell markers in LSEC line, and flow cytometry was used to analyze the purity of the human LSEC line. The morphology (including W-P bodies and surface fenestrations) and phagocytotic capacity of the human LSEC line were observed by transmission and scanning electron microscope.
