LNCRNA BMP1 PROMOTES THE HEALING OF INTESTINAL MUCOSAL LESIONS VIA THE MIR-128-3P/PHF6/PI3K/AKT PATHWAY


Multiple sex-associated regions and a putative sex chromosome in zebrafish revealed by RAD mapping and population genomics.

Within vertebrates, major sex determining genes can differ among taxa and even within species.In zebrafish (Danio rerio), neither heteromorphic sex chromosomes nor single sex determination genes of large effect, like Sry in mammals, have yet been identified.Furthermore, environmental factors can influence zebrafish sex determination.Although progre

Natural variation in GmSW17 controls seed size in soybean

Abstract Seed size/weight plays an important role in determining crop yield, yet only few genes controlling seed size have been characterized in soybean.Here, we perform a genome-wide association study and identify a major quantitative trait locus (QTL), named GmSW17 (Seed here Width 17), on chromosome 17 that determine soybean seed width/weight in

Seasonal morphological variations in bird schistosomes

The present work is a contribution to the systematics of Bilharziella and Dendritobilharzia.Wildfowl was killed in hunting seasons or found dead in Champagne-Ardenne region, France, and autopsied with focus on schistosomes.Seven Anas platyrhynchos (mallards), one Ardea cinerea (grey heron) and two Cygnus olor (mute swans) were parasitized by Bilhar
