Article Synopsis
  • Legume-based rotations, like soybean-radish, decrease soil organic carbon and phosphorus but increase potassium and bacterial diversity.
  • Changes in bacterial composition include a drop in Proteobacteria and a rise in Acidobacteria, Gemmatimonadetes, and Chloroflexi during the rotation.
  • Metagenomics reveals increased carbohydrate metabolism and inhibited processes related to methane production and nitrogen metabolism, indicating that soil microbial diversity impacts greenhouse gas emissions.

Background: Cesarean scar pregnancy (CSP) is a long-term complication of cesarean section characterized by the localization of a subsequent gestational sac within the scar area or niche developed as a result of a previous cesarean section. Its incidence has increased substantially because of the high global cesarean section rate in recent decades. Several surgical and drug treatments exist for this condition; however, there is currently no optimal treatment.

Biochar promotes microbial metabolic activities and reduces NO on aerobic composting. However, the effects of magnetic biochar (MBC) on the microbial succession and NO emissions during pig manure composting remain unclear. Herein, a 42-day composting experiment was conducted with five treatment regimes: pig manure without biochar (CK), 5 % pig manure-based biochar (5 % PBC), 2 % MBC (2 % MBC), 5 % MBC (5 % MBC) and 7.

The present study systematically assessed alterations in thiol-disulfide homeostasis among women with preeclampsia (PE) through meta-analysis. This was conducted as such changes are believed to be associated with the oxidative stress underlying this condition. A comprehensive search of Medline, Web of Science, and Embase databases was conducted from their inception until 22 March 2023, to identify studies comparing levels of native thiol, total thiol, and disulfide between pregnant women with PE and those without PE.

Introduction: Mudskippers are a large group of amphibious fishes that have developed many morphological and physiological capacities to live on land. Genomics comparisons of chromosome-level genome assemblies of three representative mudskippers, Boleophthalmus pectinirostris (BP), Periophthalmus magnuspinnatus (PM) and P. modestus (PMO), may be able to provide novel insights into the water-to-land evolution and adaptation.

Most grouper species are functional protogynous hermaphrodites, but the genetic basis and the molecular mechanisms underlying the regulation of this unique reproductive strategy remain enigmatic. In this study, we report a high-quality chromosome-level genome assembly of the representative orange-spotted grouper (Epinephelus coioides). No duplication or deletion of sex differentiation-related genes was found in the genome, suggesting that sex development in this grouper may be related to changes in regulatory sequences or environmental factors.

Bioaccumulation and adsorption are efficient methods for removing heavy metal ions (HMIs) from aqueous environments. However, methods to quantifiably characterize the removal selectivity for co-existing HMIs are limited. In this study, we applied Shapley additive explanations (SHAP) following extreme gradient boosting (XGBoost) modeling, to generate SHAP values.

The economically important Southern bluefin tuna () is a world-famous fast-swimming fish, but its genomic information is limited. Here, we performed whole genome sequencing and assembled a draft genome for Southern bluefin tuna, aiming to generate useful genetic data for comparative functional prediction. The final genome assembly is 806.

Largemouth bass ( ) is an economically important fish species in North America, Europe, and China. Various genetic improvement programs and domestication processes have modified its genome sequence through selective pressure, leaving nucleotide signals that can be detected at the genomic level. In this study, we sequenced 149 largemouth bass fish, including protospecies (imported from the US) and improved breeds (four domestic breeding populations from China).

Background: Asian arowana, Scleropages formosus, is one of the most expensive aquarium fish species worldwide. Its sex, however, cannot be distinguished clearly at any development stage, which impedes captive breeding and species protection for this endangered aquarium fish.

Results: To discover molecular clues to the sex of Asian arowana, we sequenced 26.

Endemic to Australia, jade perch (Scortum barcoo) is a highly profitable freshwater bass species. It has extraordinarily high levels of omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs), which detailed genes involved in are largely unclear. Meanwhile, there were four chromosome-level bass species have been previous sequenced, while the bass ancestor genome karyotypes have not been estimated.

Soil microbial communities play a key role in the biochemical processes and nutrient cycles of the soil ecosystem and their byproducts, including greenhouse gases (GHGs). Organic fertilization influences bacterial soil biodiversity and is an essential emission source of GHGs in paddy soil ecosystems. However, the impact of organic fertilization on the functional microorganisms associated with the GHGs methane and nitrous oxide remains unknown.

As an important hormone, melatonin participates in endocrine regulation of diverse functions in vertebrates. Its biosynthesis is catalyzed by four cascaded enzymes, among them, arylalkylamine -acetyltransferase (AANAT) is the most critical one. Although only single gene has been identified in most groups of vertebrates, researchers including us have determined that fish have the most diverse of genes (, and ), playing various potential roles such as seasonal migration, amphibious aerial vision, and cave or deep-sea adaptation.

Microplastics (MPs) are widespread anthropogenic pollutants that contaminate the terrestrial environment and serve as vectors of other contaminants. They trigger toxic effects during their migration and transmission, affecting the soil ecosystem and eventually presenting a serious threat to human health via the food chain. However, comprehensive studies on the distribution of MPs in soil and their correlation with human activities and terrestrial ecosystems are still lacking.

Background: Global climate oscillation, as a selection dynamic, is an ecologically important element resulting in global biodiversity. During the glacial geological periods, most organisms suffered detrimental selection pressures (such as food shortage and habitat loss) and went through population declines. However, during the mild interglacial periods, many species re-flourished.

The study of balancing selection, as a selective force maintaining adaptive genetic variation in gene pools longer than expected by drift, is currently experiencing renewed interest due to the increased availability of new data, methods of analysis, and case studies. In this investigation, evidence of balancing selection operating on conserved enhancers of the olfactory receptor (OR) genes is presented for the Chinese sleeper (Bostrychus sinensis), a coastal marine fish that is emerging as a model species for evolutionary studies in the Northwest Pacific marginal seas. Coupled with tests for Gene Ontology enrichment and transcription factor binding, population genomic data allow for the identification of an OR cluster in the sleeper with a downstream flanking region containing three enhancers that are conserved with human and other fish species.
