Kidney-type glutaminase, encoded by the gls1 gene, plays a critical role in glutamate production and improvement of meat flavor. In this study, a gls1 gene encoding 595 amino acids was cloned from triploid crucian carp (Carassius auratus) (TCC) and showed a high similarity with the gls1 gene found in Cyprinus carpio, Sinocyclocheilus rhinocerous and Puntigrus tetrazona. Comparing the abundance of gls1 in different tissues, we...

Warming is known to reduce soil carbon (C) stocks by promoting microbial respiration, which is associated with the decomposition of microbial residue carbon (MRC). However, the relative contribution of MRC to soil organic carbon (SOC) across temperature gradients is poorly understood. Here, we investigated the contribution of MRC to SOC along two independent elevation gradients of our model system (i.e., the Tibetan Plateau an...

microRNA (miRNA) is a type of endogenous short-chain non-coding RNA with regulatory function found in eukaryotes, which is involved in the regulation of a variety of cellular and biological processes. However, the research on the development of cashmere goat secondary hair follicles is still relatively scarce. In this study, small RNA libraries and mRNA libraries of 45 days, 55 days, 65 days, and 75 days of fetal skin of cashm...

As an intestinal organism settled long-term within the gut of marine fish, Vibrio scophthalmi is a potential object for the bacterium genetic variation and adaptation research. The genetic diversity, antimicrobial resistance phenotype, and genotype of 33 V. scophthalmi isolated from diseased marine fish intestines between 2002 and 2020 were evaluated. The results showed that all isolates were frequently resistant to penicillin...

In this study, atmospheric moisture source regions and transport pathways, which substantially affect extreme summer precipitation events in the source region of the Yellow River (SRYR) of China were investigated using the Lagrangian Flexible Particle Dispersion Model (FLEXPART). Based on the 24‐hour cumulative precipitation data from the China Meteorological Data Service Center, 2012 and 2015 were selected to represent wet an...
