ABSTRACT Land‐based aquaculture has emerged as an alternative to overcome the limitations of marine farming systems that are vulnerable to environmental fluctuations. The whiteleg shrimp (Litopenaeus vannamei) is one of the representative species cultured in land‐based systems because it can be reared under low‐salinity (approximately 15 PSU) and high ...

Mitochondrial Genome Reduction and Accelerated Evolution in Planktonic Foraminiferans
The mitochondrial genomes of the eukaryotic lineage Retaria (Foraminifera and Radiolaria) show reductions in multiple gene categories, including complex I, transfer RNAs (tRNAs), ribosomal proteins, and ribosomal RNAs. In planktonic foraminifera, this reduction is even more pronounced, with the potential loss of atp and other genes.

Allelopathic effect of Ulva intestinalis L. on the Baltic filamentous cyanobacterium Nostoc sp.
Allelopathy is a prevalent natural phenomenon in aquatic ecosystem. We reported the effects of the green macroalga Ulva intestinalis L. collected from estuaries of the Baltic Sea (Poland) on the growth and chlorophyll fluorescence of common filamentous ...

Making fish oils in plants: from alpha to omega
Schematic representation of the biosynthetic pathway for the synthesis of omega‐3 long‐chain polyunsaturated fatty acids. The sequential transgene‐encoded activities required to convert endogenous fatty acids to the longer chain polyunsaturated forms of eicosapentaenoic acid and docosahexaenoic acid are shown in red.

ABSTRACT Biotic stresses, particularly Verticillium wilt (VW), lead to a global decline in cotton yields. Here, we demonstrate that ectopic expression of ScALDH21, a gene from the desiccation‐tolerant moss Syntrichia caninervis Mitt. and absent in angiosperms, enhances cotton's resistance to VW.

The taxonomy of the Chlorophyta. II [PDF]
The taxonomy of all the algal groups possessing both chlorophyll a and b is discussed for the levels above that of the family. Much of the discussion is related to previously conceived taxa but some new combinations are proposed. The subdivision of ‘green’ algae into Euglenophyta, Prasinophyta, Charophyta and Chlorophyta is discussed in the light of ...

Post‐LECA Origin and Diversification of an Axonemal Outer Arm Dynein Motor
ABSTRACT Dyneins were present in the last eukaryotic common ancestor (LECA) and play key roles in eukaryotic biology. Axonemal dyneins form the inner and outer arms that power ciliary beating, and it has long been recognized that outer arms in some organisms contain two different heavy chain motors, whereas those from other species contain a third unit

Sedimentary DNA metabarcoding tracks long‐term eukaryotic community change in Pacific salmon nursery lakes, revealing potential land‐use and climate influences on algal communities and resilience indicators. ABSTRACT Pacific salmon are keystone species in North Pacific freshwater, riparian, and marine ecosystems, but many populations have declined or ...

Using 18S rDNA metabarcoding of stomach contents from two Antarctic nototheniid fishes, we detected 242 parasite OTUs. Protists dominated diversity, metazoans dominated abundance, and depth structured assemblages. Novel parasite–host associations and previously unreported pathogenic protists highlight fish metabarcoding as a tool for biodiversity and ...
