Project description:This study investigated the specific and differential gene expression in human immature DCs (iDCs) in response to treatment with a butanol fraction containing defined bioactive phytocompounds extracted from stems and leaves of Echinacea purpurea
Project description:The purpose of this study is to explore the effect of adding Lithospermum purpurea to the diet of soybean meal instead of 50% fish meal on the intestinal health of pearl gentian Grouper through Transcriptome
Project description:The nacre color of shells has an effect on the pearl color in Hyriopsis cumingii, and is an important indicator for its value. However, little exosome and micro (mi)RNA information are available on nacre color formation in mussels. In this study, exosomes of mantles were extracted from white and purple mussels. High-throughput Illumina sequencing was performed on the white and purple mussel mantle exosomes.Moreover, miR-223 negatively regulated hcApo, which plays important roles in the absorption and transport of β-carotene in H. cumingii. These results improve our understanding of the molecular mechanisms of nacre color formation in H. cumingii.
Project description:Purple-grain wheat are caused by anthocyanin accumulation in the seed coat. The anthocyanin biosynthesis and accumulation were affected by light in purple-grain wheat. The spikes of purple-grain wheat Luozhen No.1 were bagged with four-layer Kraft paper bags after pollination. To identify genes involved in the anthocyanin biosynthesis, we sequenced two pericarp cDNA libraries, D20 (20 DAP) of shading treatment, and L20 (20 DAP) of untreated control using an Illumina HiSeqTM 2000.
