Genome- and Transcriptome-Wide Characterization and Expression Analyses of bHLH Transcription Factor Family Reveal Their Relevance to Salt Stress Response in Tomato by Jianling Zhang, Xiaoying Liu, Zuozhen Yin, Tiantian Zhao, Dan Du, Jing Li, Mingku Zhu, Yueying Sun, Yu Pan

“…The expression profiles of selected <i>SlbHLHs</i> were varyingly and markedly induced by multiple abiotic stresses and hormone treatments. These results provide valuable information to further understand the significance and intricacy of the bHLH transcription factor family, and lay a foundation for further exploring functions and possible regulatory mechanisms of SlbHLH members in abiotic stress tolerance, which will be significant for the study of tomato stress resistance and agricultural productivity.…”

Correlation between follicle diameter and pre-ovulatory metabolic profile in Bos grunniens by Jiuru Yan, Jiuru Yan, Jiuru Yan, Yuxin Fu, Yuxin Fu, Yuxin Fu, Lan Lan, Huizhu Zhang, Huizhu Zhang, Huizhu Zhang, Ling Huang, Ling Huang, Yaying Wang, Yaying Wang, Xianrong Xiong, Xianrong Xiong, Xianrong Xiong, Shi Yin, Shi Yin, Shi Yin, Jian Li, Jian Li, Jian Li, Honghong He, Honghong He, Honghong He

“…Differential metabolites enriched KEGG pathways to screen the pathways that might be related to follicle development.ResultsWe found that most of the metabolites were mainly enriched in amino acid metabolism pathways, energy metabolism pathways and other pathways of cofactor synthesis, and that during the development of the small follicle to the large follicle, 2-Lysophosphatidylcholine, PC (17:0/0:0), PC (16:0/0:0), and LysoPC (18:0/0:0) were down-regulated; Dioctyl succinate, P-Coumaraldehyde, ISOPRENE, L-Isoleucine, Dioctyl succinate up-regulated.ConclusionThese results suggest that amino acid metabolism, the production of steroid hormones and their metabolites, and the metabolic activity of granulosa cells play important roles in follicle development. …”
