Piscirickettsia salmonis, the primary bacterial disease in Chilean salmon farming, necessitates a constant refinement of control strategies. This study hypothesized that the current vaccination strategy for SRS control in the Chilean Atlantic salmon aquaculture industry, which has been in place since 2017 (ALPHA JECT® 5.1 plus LiVac®), solely relies on vaccines formulated with the EM-90 genogroup of P.

Two cultivated rice species, Oryza sativa and Oryza glaberrima, were independently domesticated from the wild species Oryza rufipogon in Asia and Oryza barthii in Africa, respectively. A single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) in the c gene, which encodes a trihelix transcription factor, causes nonshattering in O.

- Deepwater rice can extend its leaves and stems above floodwaters to access oxygen, with key growth regulated by specific genetic traits (QTLs).
- The study found that internode elongation only starts after the sixth leaf stage and primarily affects the sixth and seventh internodes, indicating a developmental trigger for growth under flooding conditions.
- Gibberellins (GAs), a type of phytohormone, are critical for this elongation process; inhibiting GAs stops growth, while supplying them can stimulate elongation, showing their essential role in deepwater rice adaptation.
