Genetic diversity of the Khorat snail-eating turtle () in Thailand.

Introduction: is a freshwater turtle species endemic to northeastern Thailand and Lao PDR. While is relatively common and widespread in Thailand, its population size and demographic trends remain largely unknown, as direct population estimates are lacking. This species faces significant threats from consumption, exploitation, and trade.

Automated classification in turtles genus Malayemys using ensemble multiview image based on improved YOLOv8 with CNN.

In Thailand, two snail-eating turtle species in the genus Malayemes (M. subtrijuga and M. macrocephala) are protected animals in which smuggling and trading are illegal.

Effects of blood mercury accumulation on DNA methylation levels in the Khorat snail-eating turtle (Malayemys khoratensis).

Mercury (Hg) has adverse effects on humans and wildlife. Hg exposure can cause significant alterations in DNA methylation, an epigenetic modification that causes various illnesses. Hg accumulation in the blood of the Khorat snail-eating turtle (Malayemys khoratensis) from northeastern Thailand was previously reported.

Y chromosomal evidence on the origin of northern Thai people.

The Khon Mueang represent the major group of people present in today's northern Thailand. While linguistic and genetic data seem to support a shared ancestry between Khon Mueang and other Tai-Kadai speaking people, the possibility of an admixed origin with contribution from local Mon-Khmer population could not be ruled out. Previous studies conducted on northern Thai people did not provide a definitive answer and, in addition, have largely overlooked the distribution of paternal lineages in the area.

Proteomic Analysis of Isogenic Rice Reveals Proteins Correlated with Aroma Compound Biosynthesis at Different Developmental Stages.

Fragrant rice has a potent flavor compound, 2-acetyl-1-pyrroline (2AP). A better understanding of the 2AP biosynthetic pathway is gained by proteomic analysis of two isogenic lines of Thai jasmine rice, Oryza sativa L. cv.

Evaluation of sample preparation methods from rice seeds and seedlings suitable for two-dimensional gel electrophoresis.

In a proteomic study, sample preparation is very important because it affects the quality of protein profiles on two-dimensional gel electrophoresis (2-DE). This study investigated the suitability of four protein extraction methods-direct lysis buffer extraction, trichloroacetic acid (TCA)/acetone precipitation, phenol extraction, and polyethylene glycol (PEG) fractionation-from rice seeds and seedlings (Oryza sativa L. ssp.

Computational design of peptide inhibitor based on modifications of proregion from Plutella xylostella midgut trypsin.

Many proteases are produced as zymogens bearing the N-terminal proregions acting both as intramolecular chaperones and as protease inhibitors. The latter role of the proregions as potent and specific inhibitors of their associated protease has been demonstrated in various peptidases and therefore has been targeted for alternative pest control. Here, we isolated amino acid sequence of Plutella xylostella midgut trypsin from the larvae of diamondback moth and tested in silico for its inhibitory activity toward propeptide models using computational modeling and docking.
