Project description:In the present study, we found a new walnut germplasm from wild Juglans cathayensis population, which presented white husk that did not brown. We compared the transcriptome between the fresh-cut browning (control) and white husks of the Chinese walnut using Illumina HiSeq 4000 platform
Project description:We examined 36 biopsies taken from digital dermatitis lesions of Holstein cows. The target was the V3 -V4 variable region of 16S rRNA using Treponema specific primers. We identified 20 different taxa of Treponema using this approach. Phylogenetic study of the Treponema taxa found in digital dermatitis lesions of Holstein cows.
Project description:For tree crops, shortening juvenile phase is a vital strategy for early flowering that ensure to bear fruits in advance to enhance breeding efficiency. In walnut (Juglans regia L.), it usually takes 3-5 years for blooming, but the early flowering (EF) walnut can even flower in a year after planted. The juvenile phase of EF walnut is shorter than the late flowering (LF) walnut, which is more propitious to breeding efficiency. In this study, using RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) and microRNA-seq, we profiled transcriptome-wide identification of gene expression and microRNAs between EF and LF walnuts.
