The genome of the mesopolyploid crop species Brassica rapa
- Xiaowu Wang, H. Wang, +106 authors Z. Zhang
- Biology, Medicine
- Nature Genetics
- 1 October 2011
We report the annotation and analysis of the draft genome sequence of Brassica rapa accession Chiifu-401-42, a Chinese cabbage. We modeled 41,174 protein coding genes in the B. rapa genome, which has… Expand
Bats Are Natural Reservoirs of SARS-Like Coronaviruses
- W. Li, Zhengli Shi, +14 authors L. Wang
- Biology, Medicine
- Science
- 28 October 2005
Severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) emerged in 2002 to 2003 in southern China. The origin of its etiological agent, the SARS coronavirus (SARS-CoV), remains elusive. Here we report that species… Expand
Comparative analysis of a large dataset indicates that internal transcribed spacer (ITS) should be incorporated into the core barcode for seed plants
- D-Z Li, L. Gao, +17 authors G. Duan
- Medicine, Biology
- Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences
- 18 November 2011
A two-marker combination of plastid rbcL and matK has previously been recommended as the core plant barcode, to be supplemented with additional markers such as plastid trnH–psbA and nuclear ribosomal… Expand
Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza A(H5N8) Virus in Wild Migratory Birds, Qinghai Lake, China
- Mingxin Li, H. Liu, +11 authors J. Chen
- Medicine, Biology
- Emerging infectious diseases
- 1 April 2017
In May 2016, a highly pathogenic avian influenza A(H5N8) virus strain caused deaths among 3 species of wild migratory birds in Qinghai Lake, China. Genetic analysis showed that the novel reassortant… Expand
Natural variation in ARF18 gene simultaneously affects seed weight and silique length in polyploid rapeseed
- J. Liu, W. Hua, +7 authors H. Wang
- Biology, Medicine
- Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences
- 31 August 2015
Significance Seed weight is a complex trait controlled by polygenes, and its underlying regulatory mechanisms, especially those involving polyploidy crops, remain elusive. Brassica napus L., which is… Expand
A combined linkage and regional association mapping validation and fine mapping of two major pleiotropic QTLs for seed weight and silique length in rapeseed (Brassica napus L.)
BackgroundSeed weight (SW) and silique length (SL) are important determinants of the yield potential in rapeseed (Brassica napus L.). However, the genetic basis of both traits is poorly understood.… Expand
Increasing seed mass and oil content in transgenic Arabidopsis by the overexpression of wri1-like gene from Brassica napus.
Rapeseed (Brassica napus) is one of the most important edible oilseed crops in the world and is increasingly used globally to produce bio-diesel. Therefore, increasing oil content of oilseed corps is… Expand
An improved allele-specific PCR primer design method for SNP marker analysis and its application
BackgroundAlthough Single Nucleotide Polymorphism (SNP) marker is an invaluable tool for positional cloning, association study and evolutionary analysis, low SNP detection efficiency by… Expand
Proteomics Analysis of Helicoverpa armigera Single Nucleocapsid Nucleopolyhedrovirus Identified Two New Occlusion-Derived Virus-Associated Proteins, HA44 and HA100
ABSTRACT Sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and mass spectrometry were used to analyze the structural proteins of the occlusion-derived virus (ODV) of Helicoverpa armigera… Expand
The cysteine protease domain of porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus non-structural protein 2 antagonizes interferon regulatory factor 3 activation.
There is growing evidence that porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) has developed mechanisms to subvert the host innate immune response. PRRSV non-structural protein 2 (Nsp2)… Expand
