Transcriptomic and lipidomic analysis reveal hepatic metabolic disorders associated with ovarian regression in late-laying ducks

The liver serves as vital metabolic organ that mediates lipid biosynthesis and coordinates systemic lipid metabolism. However, the molecular alterations in hepatic lipid metabolism correlated with ovarian regression in the late-laying ducks are poorly understood. In this study, w...

Design and Performance Evaluation of a Blockchain-Based Agricultural Product Traceability System Using Hyperledger Fabric

Agricultural product safety incidents highlight trust deficits in supply chain management. This study designs and evaluates a Hyperledger Fabric-based agricultural traceability prototype in which public product data, enterprise farming details, and regulatory cost data are manage...

Mapping of Powdery Mildew Resistance Genes and Mining of Candidate Genes in Bottle Gourd (Lagenaria siceraria) Based on BSA-seq and Transcriptome Sequencing

Powdery mildew is one of the most destructive fungal diseases of bottle gourd (Lagenaria siceraria), severely threatening yield and quality, yet the genetic basis of its resistance remains poorly understood. In this study, an F2 segregating population derived from a cross between...

Molecular Characterization and Functional Analysis of Pomacea canaliculata Mos Gene (PcMos): A Molecular Switch of Female Fecundity

The invasive Pomacea canaliculata has emerged as a notorious pest that endangers aquatic crops, ecological services and functioning. Although well-documented as a mammalian oocyte maturation factor, the biological roles of Moloney sarcoma oncogene (Mos) in invertebrates, notably...

Bacillus velezensis SGTSH 0811 suppresses sunflower sclerotiniose by pathogen inhibition and host resistance induction

Abstract Sunflower sclerotiniose caused by Sclerotinia sclerotiorum threatens global sunflower production, the complete molecular antagonistic mechanisms of Bacillus velezensis biocontrol strains are still unclear. This study isolated rhizosphere strain SGTSH 0811 from healthy su...

Establishment of a Near-Infrared Spectroscopy-Based Screening Framework for Key Quality Indicators of Cassava Varieties

Cassava is the sixth most important food crop globally, valued for its high starch accumulation in tuberous roots, which supports diverse applications in food processing and industrial production. Quality evaluation is vital for its utilization, yet rapid and efficient assessment...

Dual role of Trichoderma koningiopsis T-51 in promoting watermelon growth and controlling Fusarium wilt disease in continuous-cropping fields

The increasing difficulty of controlling watermelon Fusarium wilt disease (caused by Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. niveum, Fon) in continuous-cropping systems using traditional chemical control techniques highlights the need for sustainable alternative strategies. This study evaluate...
