A chromosome-scale genome assembly of the Mongolian oak (Quercus mongolica).

Mongolian oak (Quercus mongolica Fisch.) is an ecologically and economically important white oak species native to and widespread in the temperate zone of East Asia. Here, we present a chromosome-scale reference genome assembly of Q.

Transcriptomic analysis of Bombyx mori corpora allata with comparison to prothoracic glands in the final instar larvae.

The corpus allatum (CA) is an endocrine organ of insects that synthesizes juvenile hormone (JH). Yet little is known regarding the global gene expression profile for the CA, although JH signaling pathway has been well-studied in insects. Here, we report the availability of the transcriptome resource of the isolated CA from the final (fifth) instar larvae of the silkworm, Bombyx mori when the JH titer is low.

[Relationship between population dynamic of freshwater leech Whitmania laevis and chemical factors of water].

The population size of freshwater leech Whitmania laevis had been observed every month in Guangzhou kaleyard slot from 1994 to 1998, and ten chemical factors of water were measured. The relationship between the population dynamic of W. laevis and chemical factors was studied by stepwise regression analysis method.
