Pigeon has the specific biological ability to produce pigeon milk (also known as crop milk) by its crop. Circular RNAs (circRNAs) are important noncoding RNAs acting as the sponges of miRNAs, but the molecular mechanism of circRNAs regulating crop milk production has not been reported in pigeon. We compared expression profiles of crops during lactating and nonlactating crops, and networks of competing endogenous RNAs (ceRNAs) were constructed. The results showed a total of 8,723 circRNAs were identified, and there were 770 differentially expressed circRNAs (DECs) between these two different periods of crops. The Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway enrichment analysis revealed that the host genes of DECs were enriched in GnRH, MAPK, Insulin, Wnt, and AMPK signaling pathways. Furthermore, gga_circ_0000300 interacted with miR-92-2-5p, which targeted genes participating in lactation and milk composition synthesis. Gga_circ_0003018, gga_circ_0003019 and gga_circ_0003020 could bind with let-7c-5p regulating SOCS3 in crop milk production. These findings provide the circRNAs expression profiles and facilitate the analysis of molecular mechanism of crop milk production in pigeon.

Climate change significantly challenges smallholder mixed crop-livestock (MCL) systems in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA), affecting food and feed production. This study enhances the SIMPLACE modeling framework by incorporating crop-vegetation-livestock models, which contribute to the development of sustainable agricultural practices in response to climate change. Applying such a framework in a domain in West Africa (786,500 km) allowed us to estimate the changes in crop (Maize, Millet, and Sorghum) yield, grass biomass, livestock numbers, and greenhouse gas emission in response to future climate scenarios.

Chinese milk vetch (CMV) is widely recognized as the leading leguminous green manure utilized in the rice-green manure rotation system throughout southern China. While bacteria that form symbiotic relationships with CMV are responsible for fixing a significant portion of nitrogen (N) within agroecosystems. diazotrophic organisms play an essential role in the N cycle and enhance the pool of N readily accessible to plants.

Arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi are widely existing soil microorganisms that form symbiotic relationships with most terrestrial plants. They are important for enhancing adversity resistance, including resistance to disease and water stresses. Nevertheless, it is not clear whether the benefits can be maintained in regulating the occurrence of plant diseases under drought, flooding stress and during water restoration.

The aim of this study was to examine how silages from different grassland species and harvesting frequencies affect feed intake, milk production, and methane (CH) emission in dairy cows. We hypothesized that cows consuming silages of more frequent harvest, grass species with greater organic matter digestibility and legumes with lower NDFom concentration would have greater silage dry matter intake and milk yield and thereby lower CH yield and intensity. Forty Norwegian Red cows were allocated to 5 treatments in a cyclic changeover design with 4 21-d periods (14 d of adaptation, 7 d of data collection).
