Exploration of non-coding RNAs related to intramuscular fat deposition in Xinjiang Brown cattle and Angus × Wagyu cattle

BMC Genomics
Non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) serve as crucial regulatory elements in the process of adipogenesis in animals; however, the specific roles and interrelationships of ncRNAs in bovine fat deposition remain poorly understood.

Role of herbivore-induced maize volatiles in the chemotactic behaviour of Telenomus podisi and Diceraeus melacanthus [PDF]

, 2023
Plants respond indirectly to herbivore injury in a species-specific way and emit a specific blend of volatiles that are attractive to the enemies of herbivores. We evaluated whether maize plants, Zea mays L. (Poaceae), can recognize herbivory damage from

Reproductive stages in lowbush blueberry (Vaccinium angustifolium) occur earlier with increasing temperature

American Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Abstract Premise Climate change is altering the timing of many plant phenological events, yet most studies focus on flowering, with less attention given to later reproductive stages such as fruit development and ripening. Vaccinium angustifolium (lowbush blueberry) is an important perennial berry species that may be sensitive to these changes.
