Physiological and Whole Blood Transcriptome Signatures Associated with Post-Release Residence in Female Yangtze Sturgeon (Acipenser dabryanus)

Yangtze sturgeon is a rare and endemic sturgeon in China whose population restoration depends heavily on artificial propagation and stock enhancement. However, the physiological status of hatchery-origin broodstock after prolonged residence in natural river environments remains p...

Identification and Functional Analysis of the CLAVATA3/embryo Surrounding Region-Related ( CLE ) Gene Family in Tartary Buckwheat Suggests the Promoting Effect of FtCLE7 on Growth and Nitrogen Accumulation

Abstract Low nitrogen use efficiency caused by irrational nitrogen fertilization restricts Tartary buckwheat (TB) yield improvement. CLE peptides are key signaling molecules regulating plant nitrogen response, yet their functions in TB remain unclear. Herein, 16 FtCLE genes were...

Single-Cell Transcriptomic Landscape of the Gill in Hypoxia-Stressed Tachysurus vachellii (Richardson, 1846): Insights into Cell-Type-Specific Responses of Different Epithelial Cells and Erythrocytes

The study aims to construct a single-cell atlas of the gill of yellow catfish Tachysurus vachellii (Richardson, 1846) and to explore the response patterns of gill cells under acute hypoxia stress. In this study, we performed single-cell sequencing and histological observations of...

Turning Livestock Waste into Nutrient Resources: Advances in Crop–Livestock Circular Agriculture for Sustainable Farming Systems

The increasing specialization of crop and livestock production has disrupted traditional nutrient cycling in agricultural systems, creating a dual challenge of excessive dependence on synthetic fertilizers and inefficient utilization of livestock manure. Crop–livestock circular a...

Organic manganese as a functional micronutrient: Promoting metabolic health and sustainable growth in Litopenaeus vannamei.

< 0.05). In summary, although growth remained unaffected, organic Mn sources, particularly Mn-Gly and Mn-MHA, demonstrated superior bioavailability by enhancing antioxidant status, immune function, and hepatopancreas health as well as by regulating lipid metabolism.

The Effect of Intercropping Leguminous Crops in the Winter Fallow Season of Mulberry Plantations on Soil Nitrogen and Phosphorus Status

To explore the effects of legume intercropping on soil nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) cycling processes in mulberry plantations during the winter fallow period, three treatments were set up: control (no intercropping, CK), single-legume intercropping (T1: Medicago polymorpha), a...

Optimization of the Planting Structure of Major Grain Crops on Cultivated Land in China for Coordinated Food Production, Ecosystem Service Value, and Irrigation Water Consumption

Balancing food production, ecosystem service value, and agricultural irrigation water consumption is a major challenge for sustainable agricultural development in China. However, quantitative evidence at the national scale remains limited on whether crop planting structure optimi...
