Abstract:
... Paddy soils are potential hotspots of combined contamination with arsenic (As) and antibiotics, which may induce co-selection of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) and As biotransformation genes (ABGs), resulting in dissemination of antimicrobial resistance and modification in As biogeochemical cycling. So far, little information is available for these co-selection processes and specific patterns ...

Abstract:
... Mepanipyrim, an anilinopyrimidine fungicide, has been extensively used to prevent fungal diseases in fruit culture. Currently, research on mepanipyrim-induced toxicity in organisms is still very scarce, especially visual developmental toxicity. Here, zebrafish larvae were employed to investigate mepanipyrim-induced visual developmental toxicity. Intense light and monochromatic light stimuli-evoked ...

Abstract:
... Plots infested with Synchytrium endobioticum, the causal agent of potato wart disease, are scheduled, resulting in prohibition of potato cultivation of and cultivation of plants for planting. On account of robust resting spores that are present in infested soils, plots remain scheduled for 20 years. After this period, plots are intensively sampled and the presence of resting spores in soil is dete ...
quantitativepolymerasechainreaction, etc ; DNA; automation; fluorescence; oligonucleotides; Show all 5 Subjects
Abstract:
... The quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) with detection of duplex DNA yield by intercalator fluorescence is a common and essential technique in nucleic acid analysis. We encountered unexpected results when applying standard qPCR methods to the quantitation of random DNA libraries flanked by regions of fixed sequence, a configuration essential for in vitro selection experiments. Here we de ...

Abstract:
... The presence of genetically modified organisms (GMOs) in food and feed products is regulated in many countries. Various countries have issued labeling threshold levels to supervise GMO commercialization, and efficient detection methods to quantify GMO contents are critical to meet labeling regulations. The aim of this study was to develop event-specific methods to measure the event-specific/lectin ...
quantitativepolymerasechainreaction, etc ; Phytophthora nicotianae; oats; pathogens; tobacco; Show all 5 Subjects
Abstract:
... Black shank, caused by the oomycetes Phytophthora nicotianae, is destructive to tobacco, and this pathogen is highly pathogenic to many solanaceous crops. P. nicotianae is well adapted to high temperatures; therefore, research on this pathogen is gaining importance in agriculture worldwide because of global warming. P. nicotianae-resistant varieties of tobacco plants are commonly screened by inocu ...

Abstract:
... We used quantitative PCR to detect Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd) and Batrachochytrium salamandrivorans (Bsal) in 135 samples of Pelophylax esculentus complex water frogs from 41 Latvian populations. We detected Bd in 18 populations of water frogs. None of the samples was positive for Bsal. ...

BACKGROUND: The purpose of the experiment was to explore the localization and seasonal expression of extracellular signal regulated kinase (ERK) in the colonic tissue of wild ground squirrels (Spermophilus dauricus). METHODS AND RESULTS: Hematoxylin–eosin staining, immunohistochemistry, real-time quantitative PCR and Western blotting were used in this experiment. The histological results showed th ...

Abstract:
... The genus Ceratocystis contains several significant plant pathogens, causing wilt and canker disease on a wide range of plant species. There are >40 known species of Ceratocystis, some of which are becoming increasingly important in agricultural or natural ecosystems. The diagnostic procedures for most Ceratocystis species rely on time-consuming and labor-intensive culturing approaches. To provide ...
quantitativepolymerasechainreaction, etc ; biosafety; corn; food composition; standard deviation; China; Show all 6 Subjects
Abstract:
... The genetically modified (GM) maize DBN9936 that has been granted a biosafety certificate needs to be regulated in China. An event-specific PCR assay targeting the junction region between the left border of its T-DNA and the flanking genomic DNA (gDNA) was established to be able to specifically identify the DBN9936 event from other GM maize and non-GM maize. Both qPCR and duplex ddPCR achieved acc ...
quantitativepolymerasechainreaction, etc ; acetylcholine; calcium; melatonin; paxilline; rats; research; secretion; Show all 8 Subjects
Abstract:
... Melatonin secretion from the pineal glands regulates circadian rhythms in mammals. Melatonin production is decreased by an increase in cytosolic Ca²⁺ concentration following the activation of nicotinic acetylcholine receptors in parasympathetic systems. We previously reported that pineal Ca²⁺ oscillations were regulated by voltage-dependent Ca²⁺ channels and large-conductance Ca²⁺-activated K⁺ (BK ...

Abstract:
... Adulteration of meat products, including illegal substitution and addition of ingredients, tampering, and the misrepresentation and labelling of food or food ingredients, is becoming a more serious problem globally. The consequences of such manipulations can pose various health risks for consumers, including food allergies and poisoning. This study investigates the problem of meat product adultera ...

Abstract:
... Virus infection alters host gene expression, therefore ideal and stable reference housekeeping genes are required to normalise the expression of other expressed host genes in quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR). The suitable reference gene may vary in response to different viral infections in different hosts or cells. In the present study, we cultured primary lamb testis cells (LTC) and assessed ...

Abstract:
... Bacterial spot is one of the most serious diseases of tomato. It is caused by four species of Xanthomonas: X. euvesicatoria, X. gardneri, X. perforans, and X. vesicatoria. Contaminated or infected seed can be a major source of inoculum for this disease. The use of certified pathogen-free seed is one of the primary management practices to reduce the inoculum load in commercial production. Current s ...

Abstract:
... Available evidence suggests the involvement of microRNAs (miRNAs) in the pathological process of several diseases. Nonetheless, molecular mechanism underlying biological effects of miRNAs such as pacemaker exosome-derived miR-127-5p in embryonic-like stem cells (ESCs) differentiation into pacemaker cell is yet to be clarified. Through real time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) or west ...

Abstract:
... Honeybee symbionts, predominantly bacteria, play important roles in honeybee health, nutrition, and pathogen protection, thereby supporting colony health. On the other hand, fungi are often considered indicators of poor bee health, and honeybee microbiome studies generally exclude fungi and yeasts. We hypothesized that yeasts may be an important aspect of early honeybee biology, and if yeasts prov ...
