Evaluation of Skin Color Supervision Genes in Chickpea Seeds by Multiomics.

Seed samples of two types of chickpea (Cicer arietinum Linn.), including variety A (NRCGR-4452) and variety B (local varieties), with different seed colors, were collected every five days for a total of four times during the seed development period. Non-targeted metabolome and transcriptome sequencing were conducted to identify differentially expressed genes and metabolites associated with chickpea seed coat color.

Transcriptomics and Metabolomics Analysis Provides Insight into Leaf Color and Photosynthesis Variation of the Yellow-Green Leaf Mutant of Hami Melon ( L.).

Leaf color mutants are ideal materials for studying the regulatory mechanism of chloroplast development and photosynthesis. We isolated a cucumis melo spontaneous mutant (MT), which showed yellow-green leaf phenotype in the whole growing period and could be inherited stably. We compared its leaves with the wild type (WT) in terms of cytology, physiology, transcriptome and metabolism.

Comparative proteomic analysis for revealing the advantage mechanisms of salt-tolerant tomato ().

Salt stress causes the quality change and significant yield loss of tomato. However, the resources of salt-resistant tomato were still deficient and the mechanisms of tomato resistance to salt stress were still unclear. In this study, the proteomic profiles of two salt-tolerant and salt-sensitive tomato cultivars were investigated to decipher the salt-resistance mechanism of tomato and provide novel resources for tomato breeding.

Single-Molecule Real-Time Transcript Sequencing of Turnips Unveiling the Complexity of the Turnip Transcriptome.

To generate the full-length transcriptome of Xinjiang green and purple turnips, , using single-molecule real-time (SMRT) sequencing. The samples of two varieties of at five developmental stages were collected and combined to perform SMRT sequencing. Meanwhile, next generation sequencing was performed to correct SMRT sequencing data.

Differential Regulation of Anthocyanins in Green and Purple Turnips Revealed by Combined De Novo Transcriptome and Metabolome Analysis.

Purple turnip ssp. rapa is highly appreciated by consumers but the metabolites and molecular mechanisms underlying the root skin pigmentation remain open to study. Herein, we analyzed the anthocyanin composition in purple turnip (PT) and green turnip (GT) at five developmental stages.

Down-regulated WDR35 contributes to fetal anomaly via regulation of osteogenic differentiation.

Background: Autosomal recessive disorder is closely correlated with congenital fetal malformation. The mutation of WDR35 may lead to short rib-polydactyly syndrome (SRP), asphyxiating thoracic dystrophy (ATD, Jeune syndrome) and Ellis van Creveld syndrome. The purpose of this study is to investigate the role of WDR35 in fetal anomaly.

Effects of cervical conisation on pregnancy outcome: a meta-analysis.

To assess the effect of cervical conisation on pregnancy outcome, a literature search strategy was conducted to identify all of the references lists of the relevant studies. The fixed or random effect model was used to calculate pooled RRs on the basis of heterogeneity. Twenty-seven publications with n cases and m controls were included in the meta-analysis.

[Effect of chorioamnionitis on brain injury in preterm infants].

Objective: To explore the association between chorioamnionitis and brain injury in preterm infants.

Methods: A total of 88 preterm infants (28-34 weeks), who were born between June 2008 and June 2011, were divided into a case group (n=41) and a control group (n=47) according to whether or not they had chorioamnionitis. All the infants were examined by brain ultrasonography periodically after birth and underwent brain diffusion weighted imaging (DWI) between 3 and 7 days after birth.
