Current status of transcriptome sequencing technology in ruminants by Cui JiaYu, Song Lili, Wang Dawei, Liu ZhiLin, Zhang Xin, Jia Zelin, Zhang Yuhang, Xiong Huisheng, Wang Xueli

“…During the lactation stage of ruminants, transcriptome sequencing is used to screen for differentially expressed genes in blood tissue, which can identify candidate functional genes for milk production traits. Transcriptome sequencing can detect genes with low expression levels, identify new gene transcripts and alternative splicing events, detect and analyze the biological regulatory mechanisms of the body, reveal differences in gene expression levels during breeding, and reveal the interaction between hosts and pathogens. …”

Genome Mining of Terpene Synthases from Fourteen <i>Streptomyces</i> Strains by Yuanyuan Li, Xi Xiang, Zhiyuan Ren, Rui Wang, Minghui Xie, Gen Li, Xiaohui Yan, Zhilong Zhao, Zixin Deng, Min Xu, Anwei Hou

“…A total of forty-eight TPSs were identified and categorized through phylogenetic analysis, and five representative TPSs distantly related to known TPSs were selected for functional investigation. Biochemical assays revealed that TAC28_6116 is a sesquiterpene synthase producing thujopsan-2β-ol (<b>1</b>) and thujopsene (<b>2</b>), marking the first report of thujopsan-2β-ol production from a bacterial source. …”

Leaf water uptake strategy of plants in the arid and semi-arid region of Ningxia by CHEN Lin, YANG Xinguo, SONG Naiping, YANG Mingxiu, XIAO Xupei, WANG Xing

“…Our objective was to investigate whether the plant leaf can uptake the rainfall that can not be absorbed by plant roots, and to understand leaf water uptake strategy, the relationship between leaf water uptake capability and plant ecological functional types in the arid and semi-arid region of Ningxia.The leaf water uptake content (LWUC), percentage increase in leaf water content (RW), chlorophyll content (ChlC), leaf water saturation deficit (WSD), specific leaf area (SLA) and leaf dry matter content (LDMC) of 50 plants were measured, and patterns of leaf traits were investigated to detect their difference among functional groups and relationships between each trait. …”
