MicroRNA-424/503 cluster involvement in regulation of bovine granulosa cell function and oocyte maturation
(2018-01-11)
Several microRNA (miRNA) clusters are known to be differentially regulated during follicular development. Previously, it was reported that the miR-424/503 cluster was highly abundant in bovine granulosa cells (bGCs) of ...
Environmental behavior of cesium and strontium in agricultural and forest soil
(2018-01-11)
Radionuclides are critical soil contaminants, particularly cesium (Cs-137) and strontium (Sr-90) are harmful due to their high radiotoxicity and metabolic similarity to major soil nutrients (e.g. K+, Ca2+) ...

Deciphering the role of apoplastic root barriers in the interaction between sedentary nematodes and Arabidopsis
(2018-12-13)
The plant-parasitic nematode species Heterodera schachtii and Meloidogyne incognita infect economically important crop plants in the entire world. Their infection causes yield losses, but effective and environmentally ...
Identification and functional characterization of core effectors from cyst nematodes through comparative genomics
(2018-12-18)
Plant parasitic nematodes (PPNs), are one of the most important constraints in agricultural production causing substantial losses in quantity and quality of food. The economically most important PPNs are the sedentary ...
Metabolic profiling in serum and muscle of dairy cows during the periparturient period and the subsequent lactation
(2018-12-17)
The transition period in dairy cows, spanning three weeks before and after parturition, is characterized by complex metabolic processes required for the homeorhetic adaptation to the needs of late pregnancy and the onset ...
