Abstract The extant freshwater sinipercids represent a group of 12 species and they are endemic to East Asia. In this study, we cloned and sequenced the complete mitochondrial DNA of Siniperca obscura from the Lijiang River. The size of the complete mitochondrial genome is 16,492 bp. The organization of the mitochondrial contained 37 genes (13 protein-coding genes, 2 ribosomal RNA and 22 transfer RNAs) and a major non-coding control region as well as those reported sinipercid fishes. Among the 13 protein-coding genes, three reading-frame overlaps were found: ATP8 and ATP6 overlap by 10 nucleotides and ND4 and ND4L overlap by 7 nucleotides and ND5 and ND6 overlap by 5 nucleotides. Phylogenetic analyses using N-J and maximum parsimony (MP) computational algorithms showed that S. chuatsi and S. kneri are sister species, next joined by S. Obscura, based on combined 12 protein-coding genes (excluding DN6).

While iron (Fe) is essential for life and plays important roles for almost all growth related processes, it can trigger cell death in both animals and plants. However, the underlying mechanisms for Fe-induced cell death in plants remain largely unknown. S-nitrosoglutathione reductase (GSNOR) has previously been reported to regulate nitric oxide homeostasis to prevent Fe-induced cell death within root meristems.

The underlying mechanisms explaining the differential course of SARS-CoV-2 infection and the potential clinical consequences after COVID-19 resolution have not been fully elucidated. As a dysregulated mitochondrial activity could impair the immune response, we explored long-lasting changes in mitochondrial functionality, circulating cytokine levels, and metabolomic profiles of infected individuals after symptoms resolution, to evaluate whether a complete recovery could be achieved. Results of this pilot study evidenced that different parameters of aerobic respiration in lymphocytes of individuals recuperated from a severe course lagged behind those shown upon mild COVID-19 recovery, in basal conditions and after simulated reinfection, and they also showed altered glycolytic capacity.

Somion occarium is a wood-decaying bracket fungus belonging to an order known to be rich in useful chemical compounds. Despite its widespread distribution, S. occarium has been assessed as endangered on at least one national Red List, presumably due to loss of old-growth forest habitat.

The origin of domestic sheep (Ovis aries) can be traced back to the Asian mouflon (Ovis gmelini), in the Near East around 10 000 years ago. Genetic divergence within mouflon populations can occur due to factors such as geographical isolation, social structures, and environmental pressures, leading to different affinities with domestic sheep. However, few studies have reported the extent to which mouflon sheep contribute to domestic sheep in different regions.
