Molecular Basis of White Adipose Tissue Remodeling That Precedes and Coincides With Hibernation in the Syrian Hamster, a Food-Storing Hibernator

Mammalian hibernators store fat extensively in white adipose tissues (WATs) during pre-hibernation period (Pre-HIB) to prepare for hibernation.However, the molecular mechanisms underlying the pre-hibernation remodeling of WAT have not been fully elucidated.Syrian hamsters, a food-storing hibernator, can hibernate when exposed to a winter-like short

Characterization of the complete chloroplast genome of Davidia involucrata Baill. (Nysssaceae), an endangered species endemic to China

Davidia involucrata Baill.is a kind of tertiary paleotropical plant floristic relic species unique to China.This rare plant is disappearing due to poor adaptability and serious poaching.We first assembled the Gift Wrap complete chloroplast (cp) genome of Davidia involucrata Baill.by Illumina paired-end reads data.The whole genome was 169,085 bp, co

Analyzing Regional Geographic Challenges: The Resilience of Chinese Vineyards to Land Degradation Using a Societal and Biophysical Approach

Land degradation, especially soil erosion, is a societal issue that affects vineyards worldwide, but there are no current investigations that inform specifically about soil erosion rates in Chinese vineyards.In this review, we analyze this problem and the need to avoid irreversible damage to soil and their use from a regional point of view.Informat
