SHORT-TERM P ADDITION MAY IMPROVE THE STIMULATING EFFECTS OF N DEPOSITION ON N2O EMISSIONS IN ALPINE GRASSLANDS ON THE QINGHAI-TIBETAN PLATEAU

Short-term P addition may improve the stimulating effects of N deposition on N2O emissions in alpine grasslands on the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau

The response of N2O emissions to nitrogen (N) addition is usually positive, but its response to phosphorus (P) addition varies, and the underlying mechanisms for the changes in N2O emissions remain unclear.We conducted field studies to examine the response of N2O emissions to N and P addition over two years in three typical alpine grasslands, alpin

Combining a COI Mini-Barcode with Next-Generation Sequencing for Animal Origin Ingredients Identification in Processed Meat Product

For revealing animal species in complex or adulterated processed meat product, we presented a method combining a novel cytochrome oxidase I (COI) mini-barcode with next-generation sequencing (NGS), which identifies various animal species (swine, bovine, Caprinae, and some of fish, shrimp, and poultry) accurately and efficiently in processed meat pr

Transcriptomic analysis of the stress response to weaning at housing in bovine leukocytes using RNA-seq technology

Abstract Background Weaning of beef calves is a necessary husbandry practice and involves separating the calf from its mother, resulting in numerous stressful events including dietary change, social reorganisation and the cessation of the maternal-offspring bond and is often accompanied by housing.While much recent research has focused on the physi
