p53 Gene Cloning and Response to Hypoxia in the Plateau Zokor, Myospalax baileyi [PDF]

Animal Biology, 2018
AbstractThe plateau zokor (Myospalax baileyi) is a specialized subterranean rodent that lives on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. The species has evolved a series of strategies to adapt to its hypoxic environment and hypercapnia.p53is a tumour suppressor gene that plays a crucial role in the cellular response to hypoxia by inducing cell cycle arrest, cell ...

cDNA Cloning and Expression of Erythropoietin in the Plateau Zokor (Myospalax baileyi) From the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau [PDF]

Chinese Science Bulletin, 2012
All organisms respond to variation in their environments and manage environmental stress through metabolic adjustments. The plateau zokor (Myospalax baileyi) is an endemic and keystone subterranean rodent species that inhabits the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau between 2800 and 4200 m above sea level.

Blood-Gas Properties of Plateau Zokor (Myospalax baileyi)

Comparative Biochemistry and Physiology Part A, Molecular & Integrative Physiology, 2006
Plateau zokor (Myospalax baileyi) is one of the blind subterranean mole rats that spend their life solely underground in sealed burrows. It is one of the special species of the Qinghai-Tibet plateau. In their burrows, oxygen is low and carbon dioxide is high and their contents fluctuate with the change of seasons, soil types, rain and depth of burrows.

Phenotypic and genomic adaptations to the extremely high elevation in plateau zokor (Myospalax baileyi)

Molecular Ecology, 2021
AbstractThe evolutionary outcomes of high elevation adaptation have been extensively described. However, whether widely distributed high elevation endemic animals adopt uniform mechanisms during adaptation to different elevational environments remains unknown, especially with respect to extreme high elevation environments.

Effect of Plateau Zokor (Myospalax Fontanierii) Disturbance on Plant Community Structure and Soil Properties in the Eastern Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, China

Rangeland Ecology and Management, 2020
Plateau zokor (Myospalax fontanierii) is a native subterranean rodent in alpine rangeland on Qinghai-Tibet Plateau (QTP) in China, and its foraging, digging, and mounds building cause the unique disturbance pattern to alpine rangeland ecosystem. Over the

Mitochondrial genome of Plateau zokorMyospalax baileyi

Mitochondrial DNA, 2011
Plateau zokors Myospalax baileyi are subterranean rodents and endemic to the cold and hypoxic (2800-4300 m above sea level) climate of the farm, prairie, alpine prairie, and meadow habitats across the Tibetan plateau. The complete mitochondrial (mt) genome of M. baileyi has been determined. Our results showed that the total length of the mitogenome was

Four New Coccidia (Apicomplexa: Eimeriidae) From the Plateau Zokor, Myospalax baileyi Thomas (Rodentia: Myospalacinae), a Subterranean Rodent From Haibei Area, Qinghai Province, China

Systematic Parasitology, 2014
Thirty-eight faecal samples from the Plateau zokor, Myospalax baileyi Thomas, collected in the Haibei Area, Qinghai Province, China, were examined for the presence of coccidia (Apicomplexa: Eimeriidae). Seventeen of 38 faecal samples (44.7%) were found to contain coccidian oöcysts representing four new species of Eimeria Schneider, 1875, and four of 17

Tannin-Degrading Bacteria With Cellulase Activity Isolated From the Cecum of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau Zokor (Myospalax baileyi)

Israel Journal of Ecology and Evolution, 2015
Tannins, which are polyphenols present in various plants, have anti-nutritional activity; however, their negative effects are mitigated by the presence of tannin-degrading microorganisms in the gastrointestinal tract of animals. This has never been investigated in the plateau zokor (Myospalax baileyi) – the predominant small herbivore in the alpine ...

Differences of glycolysis in skeletal muscle and lactate metabolism in liver between plateau zokor (Myospalax baileyi) and plateau pika (Ochotona curzoniae).

Sheng li xue bao : [Acta physiologica Sinica], 2015
The plateau pika (Ochotona curzoniae) and plateau zokor (Myospalax baileyi) are specialized native species of the Qinghai-Tibetan plateau. The goal of this study was to examine physiological differences in skeletal muscle glycolysis and hepatic lactate metabolism between these two species.

Four-year dynamic of vegetation on mounds created by zokors (Myospalax baileyi) in a subalpine meadow of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau

Journal of Arid Environments, 2008
Abstract The recovery of vegetation cover following soil disturbance by the plateau zokor (Myospalax baileyi) was investigated from 2001 to 2004 in a subalpine meadow of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. Two adjacent plots were compared: one control community (undisturbed by zokors for over 5 years) and one disturbed community (with new mounds present ...
