Complete genome sequence of GL-4.

A cellulase-producing was previously isolated from the intestinal tract of domestic bamboo rat and identified as GL-4. In this study, we present the complete genome sequence of GL-4. The genome is 4,271,214 bp long, with a guanine-cytosine content of 43.

Isolation and identification of two novel pseudorabies viruses with natural recombination or TK gene deletion in China.

Pseudorabies virus (PRV), the causative agent of Aujeszky's disease, has gained increased attention in China in recent years due to outbreaks of emergent pseudorabies. However, there is limited information about the evolution and pathogenicity of emergent PRV field strains in China. In this study, two PRV field strains were isolated from an intensive pig farm with suspected PRV infection.

Prophylactic Efficacy of Equine Immunoglobulin F(ab') Fragments Against Feline Parvovirus.

Feline parvovirus (FPV), a type of parvovirus prevalent worldwide, can cause foetal death and acute enteritis in adult cats with severe leukopenia, and yet there are no effective drugs to prevent or treat FPV. Here, the immune effects of two FPV vaccines on horses were compared. IgG was extracted from FPV-immunized horse sera.

Isolation, genetic analysis of the first Akabane virus from goat in China.

Akabane virus (AKAV) is an important insect-borne virus belonging to the genus Orthobunyavirus, the Peribunyaviridae family. An AKAV defined as GXDH 01 here, was isolated for the first time from blood from a sentinel goat in China in 2016, and its full-length open reading frames (ORFs) were sequenced in this study. Sequence analysis suggested that the isolate GXDH 01 probably had undergone a reassortment incident and acquired L segments from other strain originating from an attenuated vaccine, such as OBE-1.

[Geographical variation of Glycyrrhiza uralensis seed germination character on water stress].

Objective: We studied the licorice provenance rule under the manual simulative water stress conditions, discussed geographical variation pattern and the ecology mechanism and laid the theoretical basis for the licorice seed regionalization and the seed allocation.

Method: On the spot we investigated and collected seed materials. Setting up water potential gradient by PEG, we observed the seed germination characteristic through the experiment of indoor germination.

[Study on geographical variation of morphologic and germination characteristic of different Glycyrrhiza uralensis provenance seeds].

Objective: To study the geographical variation of morphologic and germination characteristic of different Glycyrrhiza uralensis provenance seeds, approach the geographical variation mode and ecology mechanism, and laid theoretical foundation for districting and allocating of G. uralensis seeds.

Method: Field investigation and laboratory analysis were applied.

[Studies on the shade-endurance capacity of Glycyrrhiza uralensis].

Objective: To study the shade-endurance property of Glycyrrhiza uralensis and provide rationale for the practice of inter-cropping G. uralensis with trees.

Method: Black shading nets were used to provide five different environments of light intensities (light penetration rates of 100%, 75%, 65%, 50% and 25%, respectively).
