Silica Nanoparticles Enhance Disease Resistance in Arabidopsis Plants

Nature Nanotechnology, 2020
In plants, pathogen attack can induce an immune response known as systemic acquired resistance that protects against a broad spectrum of pathogens. In the search for safer agrochemicals, silica nanoparticles (SiO 2 NPs; food additive E551) have recently ...

Dietary fiber during gestation improves lactational feed intake of sows by modulating gut microbiota

Journal of Animal Science and Biotechnology, 2023
Background The feed intake of sows during lactation is often lower than their needs. High-fiber feed is usually used during gestation to increase the voluntary feed intake of sows during lactation.

Arabidopsis cell wall composition determines disease resistance specificity and fitness

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2020
Significance Plant cells are surrounded by an extracellular matrix known as the cell wall. We have analyzed the contribution of the Arabidopsis cell wall to disease resistance to pathogens with different parasitic styles.

Dietary protein levels and amino acid supplementation patterns alter the composition and functions of colonic microbiota in pigs

Animal Nutrition, 2020
Different dietary nitrogen (N) patterns may have different effects on gut microbiota. To investigate the effects of different crude protein (CP) levels or essential amino acids (EAA) supplementation patterns on the structure and functions of colonic ...

Effects of different starch structures on energy metabolism in pigs

Journal of Animal Science and Biotechnology, 2023
Background Starch is a major component of carbohydrates and a major energy source for monogastric animals. Starch is composed of amylose and amylopectin and has different physiological functions due to its different structure.

Effects of dietary Clostridium butyricum supplementation on growth performance, intestinal development, and immune response of weaned piglets challenged with lipopolysaccharide

Journal of Animal Science and Biotechnology, 2018
Background Weanling pigs, with immature immune system and physiological function, usually experience post-weaning diarrhea. This study determined the effects of dietary Clostridium butyricum supplementation on growth performance, diarrhea, and immunity ...

Early Gut Microbiota Intervention Suppresses DSS-Induced Inflammatory Responses by Deactivating TLR/NLR Signalling in Pigs

Scientific Reports, 2017
Recent metagenomic studies suggest that innate and adaptive immune phenotypes can be programmed via gut microbiota-host interactions mediated via activation of pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) on host cells.
