Degradome sequencing reveals an integrative miRNA-mediated gene interaction network regulating rice seed vigor.

Background: It is well known that seed vigor is essential for agricultural production and rice (Oryza sativa L.) is one of the most important crops in the world. Though we previously reported that miR164c regulates rice seed vigor, but whether and how other miRNAs cooperate with miR164c to regulate seed vigor is still unknown.

Semisupervised Cross-Scale Graph Prototypical Network for Hyperspectral Image Classification.

In practice, the acquirement of labeled samples for hyperspectral image (HSI) is time-consuming and labor-intensive. It frequently induces the trouble of model overfitting and performance degradation for the supervised methodologies in HSI classification (HSIC). Fortunately, semisupervised learning can alleviate this deficiency, and graph convolutional network (GCN) is one of the most effective semisupervised approaches, which propagates the node information from each other in a transductive manner.

The GRIM-19 plays a vital role in shrimps' responses to Vibrio alginolyticus.

GRIM-19 (gene associated with retinoid-interferon-induced mortality 19), a novel cell death regulatory gene, plays important roles in cell apoptosis, mitochondrial respiratory chain and immune response. It has been reported to interact physically with STAT3 and inhibit STAT3-dependent signal transduction. In this study, a new GRIM-19 gene, which is a 789-bp gene encoding a 149 amino acids protein, is identified and characterized from Litopenaeus vannamei.

Molecular cloning, expression of a galectin gene in Pacific white shrimp Litopenaeus vannamei and the antibacterial activity of its recombinant protein.

Galectins play crucial roles in innate immune responses in invertebrate by recognizing and eliminating microinvaders. In this study, a cDNA encoding a galectin in the Pacific white shrimp (L. vannamei) was identified and characterized.

Essential roles of Cdc42 and MAPK in cadmium-induced apoptosis in Litopenaeus vannamei.

Cadmium, one of the most toxic heavy metals in aquatic environments, has severe effects on marine invertebrates and fishes. The MAPK signaling pathway plays a vital role in stress responses of animals. The mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signaling pathway plays a vital role in animals' stress responses, including mediation of apoptosis induced by the Rho GTPase Cdc42.
