The food safety risks posed by exposure to polystyrene microplastics (PS-MPs) and bisphenol A (BPA) have become an issue worldwide. However, the toxic effects of PS-MPs and BPA coexposure on the mammalian liver remain elusive. In this study, we found that PS-MPs and BPA coexposure have synergistic toxic effects on AML12 cells and the mouse liver.

In addition to being a major source of animal protein, pigs are an important model for the study of development and diseases in humans. During the past two decades, thousands of high-throughput sequencing studies in pigs have been performed using a variety of tissues from different breeds and developmental stages. However, the multi-omics database specifically used for pig functional genomic research is still limited.

The core circadian clock gene Bmal1 is crucial for maintaining the oscillations of the circadian clock system by controlling the rhythmic expression of numerous circadian clock-controlled genes. To explore the transcriptional changes associated with Bmal1 deletion in liver tissues, we collected liver tissues from global and liver-specific Bmal1 knockout mice, along with their respective control groups, at two circadian time points (CT2 and CT14) and used them for transcriptome sequencing analysis.

The initial phase involved bioinformatics analysis, drawing insights from three RNA-seq datasets (GSE184303, GSE114400, and GSE199061) derived from wild-type mouse liver tissues, which encompassed six distinct time points across a day. As expected, 536 overlapping genes exhibiting rhythmic expression patterns were identified.

View Article and Find Full Text PDFRye (Secale cereale), a valuable relative of wheat, contains abundant powdery mildew resistance (Pm) genes. Using physical mapping, transcriptome sequencing, barley stripe mosaic virus-induced gene silencing, ethyl methane sulfonate mutagenesis, and stable transformation, we isolated and validated two coiled-coil, nucleotide-binding site and leucine-rich repeat (CC-NBS-LRR) alleles, PmTR1 and PmTR3, located on rye chromosome 6RS from different triticale lines. PmTR1 confers age-related resistance starting from the three-leaf stage, whereas its allele, PmTR3, confers typical all-stage resistance, which may be associated with their differential gene expression patterns.

Thus, dissection of their genetic basis is essential for the improvement of plant architecture and yield potential in wheat breeding. The objective of this study was to map quantitative trait loci (QTL) for PH, SL and SCN in a recombinant inbred line (RIL) population derived from the cross 'PuBing3228 × Gao8901' (PG-RIL) and to evaluate the potential values of these QTL to improve yield.

However, additional antibiotics or nanometal bactericides are always required to enhance their poor antibacterial activity, which will cause drug resistance and toxic side effects. Herein, self-assembly confined PDA NPs (SC-PDA NPs, <50 nm) are employed as a freestanding antibacterial ingredient for constructing an ideal hydrogel wound dressing, which maintains relatively strong reducibility and size effect.
