Rumen DNA virome and its relationship with feed efficiency in dairy cows by Xiaohan Liu, Yifan Tang, Hongyi Chen, Jian-Xin Liu, Hui-Zeng Sun

“…However, the characterization of rumen viruses remains incomplete, and their association with production traits, such as feed efficiency (FE), has not been documented. In this study, rumen fluid from 30 Chinese Holstein dairy cows was analyzed using next-generation sequencing (NGS) and High-Fidelity (HiFi) sequencing to elucidate the rumen DNA virome profile and uncover potential viral mechanisms influencing FE. …”

Rice Shoot ¹³C Abundance at Maximum Tillering Stage Is Well Suited to Distinguish Differences in Water Use Efficiency for Water-Saving Rice Technologies by Yueyue Tao, Yanan Zhang, Klaus Dittert, Lin Guo, Meiju Liu, Shan Lin

“…Our study revealed the following: (1) Significant differences in shoot and leaf δ¹³C were found between paddy and GCRPS plants only at the maximum tillering stage but not at the flowering stage. (2) The shoot δ¹³C at maximum tillering showed a significant positive correlation with irrigation (WUE_i) and total water use efficiency (WUE_t), but there was no such relationship at the flowering stage. (3) Shoot δ¹³C was significantly higher in 2013 than in 2014, most likely related to higher solar radiation from transplanting to maximum tillering in 2013, as there were no significant differences between the years in other climatic factors and soil water content. …”
