Project description:We isolated a bacterial identified as the genus of Mycetocola from the infected Flammulina velutipes samples collected from mushroom house in Hebei, North China. The stipe of F. velutipes appeared water-soaked, soften and browning after infected, finally, the whole plant rotten. The incidence of the disease can reach more than 80% in the serious areas, resulting in an obvious decline in the yield and quality of the F. velutipes. Furthermore, the pathogenic bacteria may occurrence in large areas by accumulated in the annual cultivation process. Therefore, the most effective measures to control this bacterial disease is screening resistant strains of F. velutipes with high yield and good agronomic traits. We obtained a white F. velutipes strain JK502 which has strong resistance to this bacterium by using the double-layer plate method combined with the sporozoite hybridization. JK501, which can early fruited, was screened using the same parent SH9 by multi spore hybridization. In order to investigate the differences of gene expression between the parent strain and the selected strains, we completed the transcriptome sequencing by Illumina HiSeq X system.
Project description:Recent studies have unveiled the deep sea as a rich biosphere, populated by species descended from shallow-water ancestors post-mass extinctions. Research on genomic evolution and microbial symbiosis has shed light on how these species thrive in extreme deep-sea conditions. However, early adaptation stages, particularly the roles of conserved genes and symbiotic microbes, remain inadequately understood. This study examined transcriptomic and microbiome changes in shallow-water mussels Mytilus galloprovincialis exposed to deep-sea conditions at the Site-F cold seep in the South China Sea. Results reveal complex gene expression adjustments in stress response, immune defense, homeostasis, and energy metabolism pathways during adaptation. After 10 days of deep-sea exposure, shallow-water mussels and their microbial communities closely resembled those of native deep-sea mussels, demonstrating host and microbiome convergence in response to adaptive shifts. Notably, methanotrophic bacteria, key symbionts in native deep-sea mussels, emerged as a dominant group in the exposed mussels. Host genes involved in immune recognition and endocytosis correlated significantly with the abundance of these bacteria. Overall, our analyses provide insights into adaptive transcriptional regulation and microbiome dynamics of mussels in deep-sea environments, highlighting the roles of conserved genes and microbial community shifts in adapting to extreme environments.
Project description:Rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) is an important aquaculture fish species that is farmed worldwide, and it is also the most widely cultivated cold water fish in China. This species, a member of the salmonidae family, is an ideal model organism for studying the immune system in fish. Two phenotypes of rainbow trout are widely cultured; wild-type rainbow trout with black skin (WR_S) and yellow mutant rainbow trout with yellow skin (YR_S). Fish skin is an important immune organ, however, little is known about the differences in skin immunity between WR_S and YR_S in a natural flowing water pond aquaculture environment, and very few studies were conducted to investigate the ceRNA mechanism for fish skin.
