GUO Conghui,LI Qinghua,DING Linshu,HUANG Jianhao,HUANG Xiaogang,WEI Hengxi,ZHANG Shouquan
【Objective】 The purpose of this study was to investigate the toxic effect of perfuorooctanoic aid(PFOA) on mouse oocytes.【Method】 One hundred and sixty 6-week-old Kunming female mice with similar body weight were divided randomly into four groups, with five replicates in each group and eight mice in each replicate. After 7 days of adaptation, the mice were fed with different doses of PFOA for 14 days. The daily doses for control, low, medium, and high dose groups were 0, 5, 10 and 20 mg/kg respe...

Establishment of IMSA-LAMP detection method for Ralstonia solanacearu

YUAN Ting,LUO Longhui,ZHANG Xueyin,LIU Jiping
【Objective】 Mulberry bacterial wilt is a seriously harmful bacterial disease caused by Ralstonia solanacearum. Therefore, it is of great significance to establish a rapid and sensitive detection method for R. solanacearum to effectively control mulberry bacterial wilt. 【Method】 Pectate lyase gene of R. solanacearum was used as the target. Based on the primer design principle of isothermal multiple self-matching-initiated amplification (IMSA), combining the loop-mediated isothermal amplification ...

Correlation between soluble sugar and tolerance to drought stress of cassava stem under low temperature storage

LI Zhibo,DONG Shiman,ZENG Changying,ZHAO Pingjuan,LI Shuxia,PENG Ming
【Objective】 The changes of water loss status, soluble sugar content and relative enzyme gene expression in related glyco metabolism signal pathway of cassava stem under different storage temperature and time were studied, and the correlation between trehalose content and water loss rate of cassava stem was analyzed.【Method】 The stem of ‘cassava 60444’ was used as the experimental material. The stem was stored under low temperature of (20±2)℃ and normal temperature of (36±2)℃ for 0–30 d after har...

Effects of astragalus polysaccharide and astragaloside IV on lipopolysaccharides-induced inflammation of bovine mammary epithelial cells

FAN Jiaqi,JIA Fang,LI Yusi,ZHOU Xuezhang
【Objective】 To investigate the effects of astragaloside IV (AS-IV) and astragalus polysaccharides (APS) of astragalus extract on the lipopolysaccharides (LPS)-induced inflammation of bovine mammary epithelial cells (BMECs) and the effect on the expression of β-casein in inflammatory cells. 【Method】 APS and AS-IV were used to intervene LPS-induced BMECs to detect the changes of cell inflammatory factors, oxidative factors, apoptosis factors and β-casein. 【Result】 CCK-8 screening found the concent...

Existing position and extraction of antifungal substance produced by Chaetomium subaffine LB-1

LIU Caiyun,GAO Xiuqing,ZHAO Jing
【Objective】 The existing position and extraction method of antifungal substance produced by Chaetomium subaffine strain LB-1 were studied in order to lay a foundation for the development of the strain LB-1 to control plant diseases. 【Method】 With Botrytis cinerea and Exserohilum turcicum as test plant pathogens, the sealed plate assay was used to detect whether the strain LB-1 could produce volatile antifungal substance. The hyphae ultrasonic breaking and liquid culture methods were used to dete...

Identification of the pathogen causing Trichosanthes kirilowii fruit rot and screening of fungicides

WANG Qian,TONG Rui,TAN Genjia,ZHANG Lixin
【Objective】 To clarify the pathogen causing Trichosanthes kirilowii fruit rot and screen effective fungicides for controlling the disease. 【Method】 Samples of rot fruit from T. kirilowii plants were collected from Dabie Mountain Areas, Anhui Province in 2019—2020. A total of 35 representative isolates were obtained by tissue isolation. The pathogenicity was verified according to the Koch’s postulate, and the causal agents were identified based on the morphological characteristics and multilocus ...

Scan4CFU: Low-cost, open-source bacterial colony tracking over large areas and extended incubation times

Santosh Pandey, Yunsoo Park, Ankita Ankita, Gregory J. Phillips
A hallmark of bacterial populations cultured in vitro is their homogeneity of growth, where the majority of cells display identical growth rate, cell size and content. Recent insights, however, have revealed that even cells growing in exponential growth phase can be heterogeneous with respect to variables typically used to measure cell growth. Bacterial heterogeneity has important implications for how bacteria respond to environmental stresses, such as antibiotics. The phenomenon of antimicrobia...

COVID-19 Testing and Diagnostics: A Review of Commercialized Technologies for Cost, Convenience and Quality of Tests

Ashler Benda, Lukas Zerajic, Ankita Ankita, Erin Cleary, Yunsoo Park, Santosh Pandey
Population-scale and rapid testing for SARS-CoV-2 continues to be a priority for several parts of the world. We revisit the in vitro technology platforms for COVID-19 testing and diagnostics—molecular tests and rapid antigen tests, serology or antibody tests, and tests for the management of COVID-19 patients. Within each category of tests, we review the commercialized testing platforms, their analyzing systems, specimen collection protocols, testing methodologies, supply chain logistics, and rel...

The animal model response against genetically modifed product may provide food safety information. This study was performed to observe behavior, histopathology and physiological responses of Wistar rat fed on the diet containing growth hormone (GH) transgenic common carp (Cyprinus carpio) meal (Ccm). Thirty rats of three-month-old (BW: 115.67–139.50g) were divided into fve treatments (six rats per treatment). The treatments were rats fed on the commercial diet without Ccm (control), a re-pellete...
