The role of largemouth bass NF-κB/p65: Inhibition of LMBV and activator of IL-18 promoter.

Nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB)/p65, a vital signaling molecule in the NF-κB pathway, participates in diverse physiological functions and host-virus interactions. However, the involvement of NF-κB/p65 in fish virus infection remains poorly understood. In this study, we explored the role of the p65 in virus infection and its impact on IL-18 regulation in largemouth bass (Micropterus salmoides).

In order to explore the flower types of , the morphology of its flowers and inflorescence were investigated in this study.

Analysis of the Correlation between Persimmon Fruit-Sugar Components and Taste Traits from Germplasm Evaluation.

Persimmon fruits are brightly colored and nutritious and are fruits that contain large amounts of sugar, vitamins, mineral elements, and phenolic substances. The aim of this study was to explore the differences in fruit-sugar components of different persimmon germplasms and their relationships with phenotypic and flavor indices through the determination of phenotypes and sugar components and through electronic-tongue indices, which provided the basis and inspiration for the selection of different sugar-accumulating types of persimmon fruits and the selection of high-sugar persimmon varieties. Our results showed that persimmon germplasm fruit-sugar components were dominated by sucrose, glucose and fructose and that the remaining sugar components were more diverse but less distributed among the various germplasm types.

Effects of Long-Term Sod Culture Management on Soil Fertility, Enzyme Activities, Soil Microorganisms, and Fruit Yield and Quality in "Jiro" Sweet Persimmon Orchard.

Clean tillage frequently causes the loss of soil nutrients and weakens microbial ecosystem service functions. In order to improve orchard soil nutrient cycling, enhance enzyme activities and microbial community structure in a "Jiro" sweet persimmon orchard, sod culture management was carried out to clarify the relationship among soil nutrient, microbial communities, and fruit yield and quality in persimmon orchard. The results showed that sod culture management increased the content of organic matter, total organic carbon, nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium in the soil, thus improving soil fertility.

Value of F-FDG PET/CT in breast cancer with second primary malignancies.

Purpose: To investigate the value of F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography (F-FDG PET/CT) in breast cancer (BC) with second primary malignancies (SPMs).

Materials And Methods: 149 BC patients (149/1419, 10.5 %) ultimately diagnosed with SPMs were included in the study.

The short- and long-term changes of upper airway and alar in nongrowing patients treated with Mini-Implant Assisted Rapid Palatal Expansion (MARPE): a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Objective: This study aims to assess the short- and long-term changes in the upper airway and alar width after mini-implant -assisted rapid palatal expansion (MARPE) in nongrowing patients.

Methods: Five electronic databases (PubMed, Scopus, Embase, Web of Science, and Cochrane Library) were searched up to 2 August, 2023 based on the PICOS principles. The main outcomes were classified into three groups: 1) nasal cavity changes, 2) upper airway changes and 3) alar changes.

Largemouth bass Rel exerts antiviral role against fish virus and regulates the expression of interleukin-10.

Nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB)/Rel is a group of transcription factors that can be activated and regulates various aspects of innate and adaptive immune functions, which play a crucial role in mediating inflammatory responses. Interleukin-10 (IL-10) is a highly pleiotropic cytokine that has a central role in limiting the immune response to pathogens during infection and thereby alleviating damage to the host. This study aims to investigate the function of the Rel gene in virus infection and its regulatory effect on IL-10 in the largemouth bass (Micropterus salmoides).

Full-length transcriptome profiling for fruit development in Diospyros oleifera using nanopore sequencing.

Objectives: Diospyros oleifera, one of the most economically important Diospyros species, is an ideal model for studying the fruit development of persimmon. While, the lack of whole-transcriptome has hindered the complex transcriptional regulation mechanisms of sugar and tannin during fruit development.

Data Description: We applied Oxford Nanopore Technologies to six developmental stage of fruit from D.

BELL1 interacts with CRABS CLAW and INNER NO OUTER to regulate ovule and seed development in pomegranate.

Pomegranate (Punica granatum) flowers are classified as bisexual flowers and functional male flowers. Functional male flowers have sterile pistils that show abnormal ovule development. In previous studies, we identified INNER NO OUTER (INO), CRABS CLAW (CRC), and BELL1 (BEL1), which were specifically expressed in bisexual and functional male flowers.

Characterization of the Complete Mitochondrial Genome of the Spotted Catfish (Thunberg, 1792) and Its Phylogenetic Implications.

The spotted catfish, (Siluriformes), is an important economical aquaculture species inhabiting the Indian Ocean, as well as the western Pacific Ocean. The bioinformatics data in previous studies about the phylogenetic reconstruction of Siluriformes were insufficient and incomplete. In the present study, we presented a newly sequenced mitochondrial genome (mtDNA).

Grouper ATF1 plays an antiviral role in response to iridovirus and nodavirus infection.

Transcription factor ATF1 is a member of the ATF/CREB family of the CREB subfamily and is involved in physiological processes such as tumorigenesis, organ development, reproduction, cell survival, and apoptosis in mammals. However, studies on ATF1 in fish have been relatively poorly reported, especially on its role in antiviral immunity in fish. In this study, ATF1 from orange-spotted grouper (named EcATF1) were cloned and characterized.

A Review of the Stress Resistance, Molecular Breeding, Health Benefits, Potential Food Products, and Ecological Value of .

Chestnut ( spp., family) is an economically and ecologically valuable species. The main goals of chestnut production vary among species and countries and depend on the ecological characteristics of orchards, agronomic management, and the architecture of chestnut trees.

Genome-wide identification and expression analysis of the CLC gene family in pomegranate (Punica granatum) reveals its roles in salt resistance.

Backgrounds: Pomegranate (Punica granatum L.) is an important commercial fruit tree, with moderate tolerance to salinity. The balance of Cl and other anions in pomegranate tissues are affected by salinity, however, the accumulation patterns of anions are poorly understood.

Feeding Preference of Crapemyrtle Bark Scale () on Different Species.

Crapemyrtle bark scale (CMBS; ) is an exotic pest species that causes aesthetic and economic damage to crapemyrtles and poses potential threats to other horticultural crops in the United States. Although previous studies reported the infestation of CMBS on several alternative hosts across multiple families in Asia, its potential threats to other documented alternative hosts remain elusive and yet to be confirmed. In this study, feeding preference studies of CMBS were conducted on forty-nine plant species and cultivars in 2016 and 2019, in order to gain insight into the expansion of CMBS distribution in the United States, as well as other regions of the world.

Genome-wide identification and expression of YABBY genes family during flower development in Punica granatum L.

The plant-specific YABBY transcription factors have important biological roles in plant morphogenesis, growth and development. In this study, we identified six YABBY genes in pomegranate (Punica granatum) and characterized their expression pattern during flower development. Six PgYABBY genes were divided into five subfamilies (YAB1/3, YAB2, INO, CRC, and YAB5), based on protein sequence, motifs and similarity of exon-intron structure.

The pomegranate (Punica granatum L.) genome provides insights into fruit quality and ovule developmental biology.

Pomegranate (Punica granatum L.) has an ancient cultivation history and has become an emerging profitable fruit crop due to its attractive features such as the bright red appearance and the high abundance of medicinally valuable ellagitannin-based compounds in its peel and aril. However, the limited genomic resources have restricted further elucidation of genetics and evolution of these interesting traits.
