Development of an Indirect ELISA to Distinguish between Porcine Sapelovirus-Infected and -Vaccinated Animals Using the Viral Nonstructural Protein 3AB.

Porcine sapelovirus (PSV) is a new pathogen that negatively impacts the pig industry in China. Affected pigs experience severe diarrhea and even death. Vaccination is used to control disease outbreaks, and sensitive diagnostic methods that can distinguish infected animals from vaccinated animals (DIVA) are essential for monitoring the effectiveness of disease control programs.

[Identification of Carthamus tinctorius NAC gene family and analysis of drought stress response].

The NAC(NAM/ATAF/CUC) transcription factors are members of the largest transcriptional gene family in plants and play an essential role in the response of plants to drought stress. To identify the number and function of the NAC gene family in Carthamus tinctorius, the present study adopted bioinformatics methods to identify NAC gene family members based on the whole genome data of C. tinctorius, and analyzed their physicochemical properties, chromosomal location, phylogenetic relationship, gene structure, conserved domain, and conserved motif.
