Soybean is the most important source of protein meal worldwide and the quantitative trait loci (QTL) cqSeed protein‐003 on chromosome 20 exerts the greatest additive effect of any protein QTL mapped in the crop. Through genetic mapping and candidate gene downregulation, we identified that an insertion/deletion variant in is the likely gene that underlies this important QTL.

- Soybean is a valuable crop known for its protein and oil, but its oil's low oxidative stability limits its use in high-heat cooking and shelf life.
- Researchers introduced the Arabidopsis transcription factor WRINKLED1 (AtWRI1) to increase saturated fatty acids in soybean oil, leading to an oil composition with higher levels of palmitate and total saturates.
- A triple genetic modification including AtWRI1, GmFatA, and FAD2-1 silencing produced soybean oil with improved saturation and oleate levels, enhancing oxidative stability and making it more suitable for baking and frying.
Objective: To compare the NK-1 receptor antagonist maropitant to morphine during and after surgery in dogs undergoing ovariohysterectomy (OHE).
Methods: 30 healthy female dogs were randomly divided to receive either a pre-anaesthetic dose of morphine (0.5 mg/kg SQ) or maropitant (1 mg/kg, SQ) prior to OHE.
Article Synopsis
- - The study aimed to validate an English version of the UNESP-Botucatu multidimensional composite pain scale (MCPS) for measuring postoperative pain in cats, involving translation, expert review, and testing for validity and reliability.
- - Factor analysis showed excellent internal consistency for two domains ('pain expression' and 'psychomotor change'), while the 'physiological variables' domain had lower reliability. The scale demonstrated construct validity and responsiveness with statistically significant changes in pain scores post-surgery and post-analgesic therapy.
- - The validated MCPS is reliable for assessing acute pain in cats after ovariohysterectomy, with a cut-off point for rescue analgesia set at > 7, providing a useful
