Epigenetic mechanisms are integral to plant growth, development, and adaptation to environmental stimuli. Over the past two decades, our comprehension of these complex regulatory processes has expanded remarkably, producing a substantial body of knowledge on both locus-specific mechanisms and genome-wide regulatory patterns. Studies initially grounded in the model plant Arabidopsis have been broadened to encompass a diverse ar...

This study investigated the effects of replacing dietary fish meal (FM) with golden apple snail ( Pomacea canaliculata ) meat meal (PCM) on growth performance, non-specific immunity and intestinal health of juvenile Chinese mitten crab ( Eriocheir sinensis ). Four hundred juvenile Chinese mitten crabs (2.39 ± 0.03) g were randomly distributed into five groups in quadruplicate (20 crabs per tank), and each group was fed with di...

Background Muscone is a chemical monomer derived from musk. Although many studies have confirmed the cardioprotective effects of muscone, the effects of muscone on cardiac hypertrophy and its potential mechanisms are unclear.The aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of muscone on angiotensin (Ang) II-induced cardiac hypertrophy. Methods and results In the present study, we found for the first time that muscone...
