The aquatic monocot, Aponogeton ulvaceus Baker, is endemic to Madagascar and is a commercially valuable ornamental aquarium plant. Members of the genus Aponogeton contain a spectrum of phytochemicals associated with a broad range of biological activities. However, much remains to be known about this genus, and the A. ulvaceus population is declining due to anthropogenic activities and climate change. To address these challenges, adopting plant tissue culture technology will be a viable solution for the sustainable production of pest- and pathogen-free plants to meet the demands of the ornamental aquatic plant trade, for conservation and research purposes. A simple micropropagation protocol for A. ulvaceus is described here, starting with seeds to establish sterile stock plants, from which immature tubers were acquired as explants for indirect organogenesis.

A Comparative Transcriptome and Proteome Analysis of the Molecular Mechanism Underlying Anterior to Dorsal Eye Rotation in the Celestial-Eye Goldfish ().
Int J Mol Sci

Fisheries Science Institute, Beijing Academy of Agriculture and Forestry Sciences, Beijing 100068, China.
Goldfish (), subjected to millennia of artificial selection and breeding, have diversified into numerous ornamental varieties, such as the celestial-eye (CE) goldfish, noted for its unique dorsal eye rotation. Previous studies have primarily focused on anatomical modifications in CE goldfish eyes, yet the molecular underpinnings of their distinctive eye orientation remain poorly understood. This study employed high-throughput transcriptome and proteome sequencing on 110-day-old full-sibling CE goldfish, which displayed either anterior or upward eye rotations.

The shape of the skull plays a crucial role in the evolution and adaptation of species to their environments. In the case of aquaculture fish, the size of the head is also an important economic trait, as it is linked to fillet yield and ornamental value. This study applies our GRAMMAR-Lambda method to perform a genome-wide association study analysis on loci related to head size in catfish.

is an aquatic plant with a high ornamental value due to its flower. Despite the release of several versions of the lotus genome, its annotation remains inefficient, which makes it difficult to obtain a more comprehensive knowledge when -omic studies are applied to understand the different biological processes. Focusing on the petaloid of the lotus flower, we conducted a comparative proteomic analysis among five major floral organs.

As the global population continues to grow, the use of pesticides to increase food production is projected to escalate. Pesticides are critical in plant protection, offering a powerful defense against fungal diseases such as apple scab, leaf spot, sclerotinia rot, damping off, sheath blight, and root rot, which threaten crops like cereals, corn, cotton, soybean, sugarcane, tuberous vegetables, and ornamentals. Succinate Dehydrogenase Inhibitor (SDHI) fungicides represent a novel class essential for controlling fungal pathogens and bolstering food security.

While soundscapes shape the structure and function of auditory systems over evolutionary timescales, there is limited information regarding the adaptation of wild fish populations to their natural acoustic environments. This is particularly relevant for freshwater ecosystems, which are extremely diverse and face escalating pressures from human activities and associated noise pollution. The Siamese fighting fish is one of the most important cultured species in the global ornamental fish market and is increasingly recognized as a model organism for genetics and behavioural studies.
