First documented case of partially leucistic Rock Bunting (Emberiza cia) from Kishtwar District, Jammu & Kashmir, India

Journal of Fauna Biodiversity
Plumage aberrations in birds, particularly leucism, are rare but significant phenomena that offer insights into avian genetics and ecology. Leucism, distinct from albinism, results in partial or total loss of melanin in feathers without affecting eye ...

Elucidating the Mechanism of Temporal Adaptation to Hydrogen Peroxide‐Induced Oxidative Stress in Corynebacterium glutamicum

Microbial Biotechnology, Volume 18, Issue 6, June 2025.
In this study, RNA‐seq was employed to investigate the temporal transcriptional response of C. glutamicum ATCC 13032 to external H2O2 at 720 mM (2.45% w/w). The results reveal significant changes in gene expression across multiple pathways, including peroxide scavenging, central metabolism, sulphur and iron metabolism, amino acid biosynthesis, and DNA ...

FIRST RECORD OF LEUCISM IN Coendou spinosus (RODENTIA, ERETHIZONTIDAE)

Oecologia Australis
Leucism is a pigmentary anomaly that results in a white or yellowish fur in mammals. Here we report the first observation of a leucistic individual of Coendou spinosus (Rodentia; Erethizontidae) in a mangrove area during a wildlife monitoring program in the industrial district of Rio de Janeiro municipality.

An alternative splicing caused by a natural variation in BnaC02.VTE4 gene affects vitamin E and glucosinolate content in rapeseed (Brassica napus L.)

Plant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 23, Issue 5, Page 1535-1547, May 2025.
Summary Vitamin E (VE) is essential for plants and animals. Rapeseed oil is rich in α‐tocopherol (α‐T), which is the most bioactive form of VE in human body. This study demonstrated that VE in rapeseed seeds was mainly controlled by embryo genotype through incomplete diallel hybridization.

Reporting of partial leucism in Argya malcolmi (Passeriformes: Leiothrichidae) from Haryana, India: implications for plumage aberration studies

Acta Zoológica Lilloana
Undoubtedly, Leucism, a sporadic plumage aberration that is caused by genetic mutations which affect melanin deposition. It has significant implications for avian ecology and evolution of bird species.

The Metabolic and Physiological Responses to Spaceflight of a Lipopeptide‐Producing Bacillus subtilis

Microbial Biotechnology, Volume 18, Issue 3, March 2025.
In this study, we performed a spaceflight experiment with B. subtilis TD7 strain, and findings showed that spaceflight resulted in slower growth, higher cell density, different morphology, decreased biofilm formation and lipopeptide metabolism. Transcriptomic analysis indicated that these lipopeptide changes were related to the upregulated genes in ...

Two cases of leucism in Southern Lapwing Vanellus chilensis (Molina, 1782) in the south of Brazil. [PDF]

Biotemas, 2009
We present the reports of two leucistic individuals of the Southern Lapwing Vanellus chilensis obtained in the rural area of the municipality of Novo Hamburgo, Rio Grande do Sul, and at the Botanic Garden of Curitiba, Paraná, south of Brazil.

Hydrological Connectivity and Local Environment Alternately Drive Spatial Structure of Floodplain Aquatic Community Across Seasons

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 2, February 2025.
Our study shows that the landscape‐scale environmental gradient represented as ecotone and as local environmental factors can alternately determine the spatial structures of the floodplain biota across seasons. The study highlights the understudied yet important linkages of spatial and temporal biotic assemblages and advance understanding of ecology ...

Woodworthia maculata (common gecko). Leucism

, 2019
Leucism is a condition where the lack of deposition of melanin in the skin results in a white or pale coloration of the animal, but the eyes maintain normal pigmentation (cf. albinism; Bechtel 1995.

Leucism in rodents: the first record for the mocó (Kerodon rupestris Wied-Neuwied, 1820), a rodent endemic to Brazil

, 2023
Leucism is a skin color disorder that causes a total white or whitish coloration of the skin or parts of the skin of the affected individual. In the present study, we present the first record of leucism in mocó Kerodon rupestris.
