The endophyte Klebsiella pasteurii BDA134-6 isolated from African rice colonizes durum wheat plants helping them cope with water shortage stress by Maria Laura Amenta, Stefano Varriale, Salvatore Arbucci, Fabio Fania, Pasquale De Vita, Stephan Summerer, Angelo Petrozza, Roberto Defez, Carmen Bianco

“…Results obtained from laboratory growth chamber, greenhouse phenotyping platform, and tunnel-type greenhouse demonstrated that inoculated Primadur plants improved their response to water shortage stress. When water shortage stress was simulated by treatment with polyethylene glycol, neither a significant decrease in the relative water content of leaves nor a strong inhibition of acetylene reduction was observed for inoculated plants compared to the uninoculated ones. …”

Whole-transcriptome analysis reveals the characteristics of intramuscular fat circRNA expression and its associated network in grazing yaks of different months of age under cold st... by Yaqian Liu, Yonggang Sun, Yincang Han, Weiqin Ding, Shengwei Jin, Jianyu Chen, Fajie Gou

“…Results: The results showed that 352 differential circRNAs, 86 differential miRNAs and 3981 differential mRNAs were found. miRNAs and mRNAs network regulation maps were successfully constructed through gene expression correlation analysis and target gene prediction. Conclusions: Taking the intersection of the predicted circRNA target genes with the differential miRNAs for intramuscular fat in yaks of different months of age, we obtained two candidate ceRNA pairs that might be related to intramuscular fat deposition in yaks, and found that bta-let-7i might be related to fat deposition in yaks and might be regulated by X_85287959_85291068, and that X_85287959_85291068 could be a candidate circRNA to enhance the quality of yak meat. …”
