Somatic Embryogenesis and Genetic Transformation of Caragana intermedia

Plants
Caragana intermedia is a perennial shrub species in the genus Caragana (Fabaceae), demonstrating remarkable stress resistance and adaptability. However, research on its somatic embryogenesis (SE) and genetic transformation techniques remains limited.

Characteristics of glucose and lipid metabolism and the interaction between gut microbiota and colonic mucosal immunity in pigs during cold exposure

Journal of Animal Science and Biotechnology, 2023
Background Cold regions have long autumn and winter seasons and low ambient temperatures. When pigs are unable to adjust to the cold, oxidative damage and inflammation may develop.

Induction and phenotype analysis of autotetraploids of Morus Mongolica

BMC Plant Biology
Background Morus mongolica holds significant value in medicinal applications, livestock fodder production, and ecological restoration. Although polyploidization is well-documented in plants for enhancing stress tolerance and altering nutrient composition,

Optimized Blends of Polyhalite and Muriate of Potash Under Reduced Potassium Rate Are Associated with Enhanced Tuber Starch Content and Up-Regulation of Starch Biosynthetic Genes in Potato

Agriculture
Excessive potassium (K) application in potato production impairs tuber quality. To develop a rational K fertilization strategy using polyhalite (POLY4), we conducted two field trials (2022, 2023) with potato cultivar ‘Dafeng No. 10’.

From mice to humans—divergent strategies for intestinal homeostasis and regeneration

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Recent advances such as organoid genome editing, xenotransplantation, imaging, and whole‐genome sequencing have enabled direct studies of human intestinal stem cells (ISCs). These studies reveal species‐specific features, including slower ISC proliferation, distinct injury responses, slower somatic mutation accumulation in humans, and an inverse ...

Barriers to adaptation to sea-level rise [PDF]

, 2013
Increasingly there is recognition from researchers and policy makers that there are legal, institutional and cultural barriers to climate change adaptation that will need to be addressed if we are able to adapt efficiently and equitably.

Transcriptome and metabolome reveal the primary and secondary metabolism changes in Larix gmelinii seedlings under abiotic stress

BMC Plant Biology
Background Larix gmelinii is an excellent stress resistant coniferous tree species with a wide distribution and important economic and ecological value. However, at seedling stage, L.

Genotypic Differences in Potato Yield and Starch Content Response to Potassium Fertilization Under Drought Stress

Plants
Drought stress constrains potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) production, and potassium (K) fertilization may alleviate it, but genotype-dependent responses remain unclear.

Reconstructing enzyme evolution by protein engineering

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Natural enzyme evolution can be retraced by protein engineering methods such as directed evolution, rational design, and ancestral sequence reconstruction. These approaches reveal how enzymes emerged from ligand‐binding scaffolds, developed varying substrate preferences, formed oligomeric complexes, adapted to environmental changes, and evolved novel ...
