The nutria (Myocastor coypus) is a semiaquatic rodent that originally inhabited South America. However, the animals have spread to different continents as alien species, and their numbers are quickly increasing, especially in North America, Europe, and Eastern Asia including Japan. Although nutrias have been suggested to serve as reservoirs for pathogens, including parasites, there have been few reports on this subject.

We generated soybean mutants related to two ß-amyrin synthase genes using DNA-free site-directed mutagenesis system. Our results suggested that one of the genes is predominant in the soyasaponin biosynthesis. Soyasaponins, which are triterpenoid saponins contained in soybean [Glycine max (L.

Background: Feline diarrhea is a common digestive tract disease in clinical practice, with watery feces as the main clinical manifestation. There are numerous pathogenic factors causing feline diarrhea, among which viral infections are prevalent, and feline panleukopenia virus (FPV) is the most common pathogen. In recent years, a variety of novel viruses have been detected in the intestines of cats with diarrhea.

Introduction: Alterations in multiple subregions of the human prefrontal cortex (PFC) have been heavily implicated in psychiatric diseases. Moreover, emerging evidence suggests that circadian rhythms in gene expression are present across the brain, including in the PFC, and that these rhythms are altered in disease. However, investigation into the potential circadian mechanisms underlying these diseases in animal models must contend with the fact that the human PFC is highly evolved and specialized relative to that of rodents.

To explore the molecular mechanism behind maize grain quality and use of different gene stacking to improve the nutritional quality of grain, marker-assisted selection (MAS) was used to select three recessive mutant lines containing , along with the double-recessive mutant lines containing , , and . The resulting seeds were taken for transcriptome sequencing analysis 18 days after pollination (DAP). Results: Compared with the recurrent parent genes, in the lysine synthesis pathway, the gene pyramiding lines (, , and ) revealed that the gene encoding aspartate kinase (AK) was up-regulated and promoted lysine synthesis.
