Article Abstract

Myeloblastosis (MYB) transcription factors (TFs) form a large gene family involved in a variety of biological processes in plants. Little is known about their roles in the development of cotton pigment glands. In this study, 646 MYB members were identified in Gossypium hirsutum genome and phylogenetic classification was analyzed. Evolution analysis revealed assymetric evolution of GhMYBs during polyploidization and sequence divergence of MYBs in G. hirustum was preferentially happend in D sub-genome. WGCNA (weighted gene co-expression network analysis) showed that four modules had potential relationship with gland development or gossypol biosynthesis in cotton. Eight differentially expressed GhMYB genes were identified by screening transcriptome data of three pairs of glanded and glandless cotton lines. Of these, four were selected as candidate genes for cotton pigment gland formation or gossypol biosynthesis by qRT-PCR assay. Silencing of GH_A11G1361 (GhMYB4) downregulated expression of multiple genes in gossypol biosynthesis pathway, indicating it could be involved in gossypol biosynthesis. The potential protein interaction network suggests that several MYBs may have indirect interaction with GhMYC2-like, a key regulator of pigment gland formation. Our study was the systematic analysis of MYB genes in cotton pigment gland development, providing candidate genes for further study on the roles of cotton MYB genes in pigment gland formation, gossypol biosynthesis and future crop plant improvement.

Coconut flesh, the solid endosperm, of coconut, which is rich in fat, protein and polyphenols. To investigate the impact of ultrasound treatment on the biosynthesis of polyphenols in tender coconut flesh during storage, the targeted metabolomic and transcriptomic analyses were employed. A total of 36 phenolic compounds were identified, of which catechin, epicatechin, gossypol and vanillic acid were the most abundant ones in 'Hainan Tall' coconut flesh.

Background: Free fatty acids (FFAs) are the main cause of fatty liver disease, which can be alleviated by modulation of intestinal microbiota. Lactiplantibacillus plantarum plays a key role in maintaining liver health, but the underlying mechanism remains unclear.

Results: Here, a strain affiliated to Lactiplantibacillus plantarum was isolated from the intestine of Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus).

Background: Cotton straw is a widely available agricultural by-product in Xinjiang, China, but its utilization as livestock feed is hindered by challenges such as high fiber content and the presence of toxic free gossypol, which can negatively impact animal health and feed digestibility. Urea addition in feed fermentation has shown potential in improving feed quality by providing a nitrogen source for microorganisms, promoting fiber degradation, and increasing the content of crude protein. However, the optimal urea addition level for cotton straw fermentation remains unclear.

In this study, six isonitrogenous and isolipid diets were formulated. A diet containing 12 % fishmeal was used as the fishmeal control group (PC). By using composite plant protein sources (soybean meal, peanut meal, and low-gossypol cottonseed meal) to partially replace fishmeal, a high-plant-protein diet with 4 % fishmeal was formed.

Integrated Microbiota and Metabolomics Analysis of CU-3 Solid-State Fermentation Effects on Cottonseed Hull-Based Feed.

Solid-state microbial fermentation (SSMF) has been established as an effective bioprocessing strategy to augment the nutritional value of plant-derived feed substrates while reducing anti-nutritional factors (ANFs). However, there have been limited studies on the effects of microbial solid-state fermentation on the nutritional value and potential functional components in cottonseed hulls. This study investigated the nutritional enhancement of cottonseed hulls through anaerobic solid-state fermentation mediated by CU-3, while exploring the functional potential of the fermented feed by analyzing fungal community dynamics and metabolite profiling.
