Effect of dietary replacement of fish meal by poultry by-product meal on the growth and hepatic health in loach (Paramisgurnus dabryanus) by Yongan Li, Chuanqi Yu, Shuyao Li, Youjie Li, Zhiwen Yuan, Jie Pan, Qi Chen, Yaping Li, Qiubai Zhou, Zirui Wang

“…Specifically, the key bile acid synthesis gene CYP7a1 was down-regulated, while CYP7b1 evinced an up-regulated pattern in PBM50 group compared to PBM0 group. In short, the PBM replacement ratio of up to 50 % in diets was appropriate for rearing loach, while higher PBM replacement ratio resulted in extremely oxidative stress in the liver.…”

Positively selected amino acid replacements within the RuBisCO enzyme of oak trees are associated with ecological adaptations. by Carmen Hermida-Carrera, Mario A Fares, Ángel Fernández, Eustaquio Gil-Pelegrín, Maxim V Kapralov, Arnau Mir, Arántzazu Molins, José Javier Peguero-Pina, Jairo Rocha, Domingo Sancho-Knapik, Jeroni Galmés

“…It has been hypothesized that RuBisCO has evolved differentially depending on the environmental conditions and leaf traits governing internal gas diffusion patterns. Here, we show, using PAML, that amino acid replacements at the residue positions 95, 145, 251, 262 and 328 of the RuBisCO large subunit have been the subject of positive selection along particular Quercus lineages associated with the leaf traits and climate characteristics. …”
