Exploring the rumen microbiota of Hu lambs in response to diet with paper mulberry
Appl Microbiol Biotechnol. 2023 Jun 12. doi: 10.1007/s00253-023-12614-0. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTPaper mulberry (Broussonetia papyrifera), as a new woody forage with high-protein characteristic, is being widely used in ruminant feeding. However, little is known about the comprehensive microbiota picture of whole ruminal niches (liquid, solid, and epithelium) under paper mulberry diet. To gain a better understanding of feeding paper mulberry on the rumen microbiota, the effects of fresh paper mulberry, paper mulberry silage, or a conventional high-protein alfalfa silage on rumen fermentation products and microbiota in...

Argon-stimulated nitric oxide production and its function in alfalfa cadmium tolerance
Environ Pollut. 2023 Jun 10:122009. doi: 10.1016/j.envpol.2023.122009. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTRecent results showed that argon may have great potential in both medicines (especially) and agriculture. However, how argon positively influences crop physiology remains elusive. Here, we observed that the stimulation of nitric oxide (NO) production upon cadmium (Cd) stress in hydroponic alfalfa root tissues was strengthened by argon-rich water and/or a NO-releasing compound. The pharmacological results further indicated that above potential source of NO stimulation achieved by argon might be attributed to NO synthase (NOS...

Effects of different unconventional feed combinations on growth, digestion and rumen fermentation of dairy cows
Cell Mol Biol (Noisy-le-grand). 2023 Mar 31;69(3):182-190. doi: 10.14715/cmb/2023.69.3.27.ABSTRACTTo explore the effects of unconventional feed combinations on the growth and production, digestion and metabolism, and rumen fermentation of dairy cows, three different dairy cows were selected for the experiment. They are Holstein cows with permanent rumen fistula, 3 primiparous cows and 6 multiparous cows. The cow diet was prepared according to the ratio of 0% CGF, 7% CGF and 11% CGF. Part of alfalfa hay in the conventional diet was replaced by CGF and Leymus chinensis. The study analyzed the feed intake, digestibility, lact...

An eco-friendly photo-responsive hyaluronic acid-based supramolecular polysaccharide hybrid hydrogels for plant growth regulation and heavy metal ions adsorption
Int J Biol Macromol. 2023 Jun 1:125194. doi: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2023.125194. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTAgrochemicals are widely used in agricultural production, but they may cause agrochemicals residues and environmental pollution. Polysaccharide-based materials have emerged as a promising biopolymer carrier for agrochemicals delivery. Herein, an eco-friendly, photo-responsive supramolecular polysaccharide hybrid hydrogels (HA-AAP-Guano-CD@LP) was constructed from arylazopyrazole-modified hyaluronic acid (HA-AAP), guanidinium functionalized β-cyclodextrin (Guano-CD), and laponite clay (LP) via synergistic host-guest a...
