gene and its association with resistance against viral nervous necrosis (VNN) in Asian seabass, .

Unlabelled: Viral nervous necrosis (VNN) caused by a betanodavirus (NNV) is one of the major diseases in Asian seabass () hatcheries. Our previous studies showed that the gene was in a QTL for NNV resistance in linkage group 23 in Asian seabass. The expression of this gene was changed in tissues of Asian seabass challenged with NNV.

Unveiling the underwater threat: Exploring cadmium's adverse effects on tilapia.

Prolonged exposure to environmentally relevant amounts of cadmium (Cd) in aquatic environments, even at small doses (0.1 and 1 μg/L), might endanger the health of underwater creatures. This research delved into the impacts of a four-month cadmium exposure on Mozambique tilapia (Oreochromis mossambicus), aiming to uncover the mechanisms behind it.

Silencing Asian Seabass gab3 Inhibits Nervous Necrosis Virus Replication.

The nervous necrosis virus (NNV) causes the viral nervous necrosis (VNN) disease in aquatic animals and has been a major threat in aquaculture. Thus, it is essential for the development of a prevention method to minimize economic losses caused by NNV such as the identification of NNV resistance genes and application of these genes in molecular breeding to increase disease resistance. gab3 is an important NNV resistance gene in Asian seabass.

A chromosome-level genome assembly of chia provides insights into high omega-3 content and coat color variation of its seeds.

Chia (Salvia hispanica) is a functional food crop for humans. Although its seeds contain high omega-3 fatty acids, the seed yield of chia is still low. Genomic resources available for this plant are limited.

EgSPEECHLESS Responses to Salt Stress by Regulating Stomatal Development in Oil Palm.

Oil palm is the most productive oil producing plant. Salt stress leads to growth damage and a decrease in yield of oil palm. However, the physiological responses of oil palm to salt stress and their underlying mechanisms are not clear.

Transposon-induced epigenetic silencing in the X chromosome as a novel form of dmrt1 expression regulation during sex determination in the fighting fish.

Background: Fishes are the one of the most diverse groups of animals with respect to their modes of sex determination, providing unique models for uncovering the evolutionary and molecular mechanisms underlying sex determination and reversal. Here, we have investigated how sex is determined in a species of both commercial and ecological importance, the Siamese fighting fish Betta splendens.

Results: We conducted association mapping on four commercial and two wild populations of B.

Effects of rrm1 on NNV Resistance Revealed by RNA-seq and Gene Editing.

Viral nervous necrosis (VNN) disease caused by the nervous necrosis virus (NNV) is a major disease, leading to a huge economic loss in aquaculture. Previous GWAS and QTL mapping have identified a major QTL for NNV resistance in linkage group 20 in Asian seabass. However, no causative gene for NNV resistance has been identified.

Genomic Basis of Striking Fin Shapes and Colors in the Fighting Fish.

Resolving the genomic basis underlying phenotypic variations is a question of great importance in evolutionary biology. However, understanding how genotypes determine the phenotypes is still challenging. Centuries of artificial selective breeding for beauty and aggression resulted in a plethora of colors, long-fin varieties, and hyper-aggressive behavior in the air-breathing Siamese fighting fish (Betta splendens), supplying an excellent system for studying the genomic basis of phenotypic variations.

Characterization of GAB3 and its association with NNV resistance in the Asian seabass.

Understanding the functions of genes related to disease resistance and identifying polymorphisms in these genes are essential in molecular breeding for disease resistance. Viral nervous necrosis (VNN) is one of the major diseases in the Asian seabass, Lates calcarifer. Our previous works on QTL mapping, GWAS and cell-line transcriptome analysis of the Asian seabass after NNV challenge revealed that the gene GAB3 might be a candidate gene for VNN resistance.

The HIF1αn gene and its association with hypoxia tolerance in the Asian seabass.

Hypoxia is one of the major challenges in aquaculture industry. Breeding of fish tolerant to hypoxia is an important task in genetic improvement of aquaculture species. The Asian seabass, Lates calcarifer, is an important foodfish species.
