The diversity and community structure of rhizospheric microbes are largely affected by soil physicochemical properties and plant species. In this work, high throughput sequencing and quantitative real-time PCR targeting nifH gene were used to assess the abundance and diversity of diazotrophic community in the coastal saline soils of Yellow River Delta (YRD). We demonstrated that the copy number of nifH gene encoding the Fe pro...

The common carp (Cyprinus carpio) is farmed globally; as a subspecies, the Yellow River carp (C. c. haematopterus) is widely farmed in northern China. Since the Yellow River carp grows slowly in winter, it would benefit breeders to implement a breeding program targeting growth in winter. In May 2017, we established a Yellow River carp family and measured the body length, height, thickness, and weight of individuals before (Oct...
