Endemic to the upper and middle reaches of the Yangtze River in China, elongate loach (Leptobotia elongata) has become a vulnerable species mainly due to overfishing and habitat destruction. Thus far, no genome data of this species are reported. As a result, lacking of such genomic information has restricted practical conservation and utilization of this economic fish. Here, we constructed chromosome-level genome assemblies for both male and female elongate loach by integration of MGI, PacBio HiFi and Hi-C sequencing technologies. Two primary genome assemblies (586-Mb and 589-Mb) were obtained for female and male fishes, respectively. Indeed, 98.22% and 98.61% of the contig sequences were anchored onto 25 chromosomes, with identification of 26.22% and 25.92% repeat contents in both assembled genomes. Meanwhile, a total of 25,215 and 25,253 protein-coding genes were annotated, of which 97.41% and 98.8% could be predicted with functions. Taken together, our genome data presented here provide a valuable genomic resource for in-depth evolutionary and functional research, as well as molecular breeding and conservation of this economic fish species.
The inhibitory effects of antioxidants of bamboo leaves (AOB) and flavonoids against 2-amino-1-methyl-6-phenylimidazo[4,5-b]pyridine (PhIP) formation were investigated in creatinine and phenylalanine model systems. AOB and the tested flavonoids (orientin, homoorientin, vitexin, isovitex, apigenin, luteolin, isorhamnetin, fisetin, and hesperetin) had significant dose-dependent inhibition effects on PhIP formation with different IC50 values. The superoxide anion (O2•–) scavenging activities of these nine flavonoids were evaluated using the pyrogallol autoxidation system. The EC50 values of compounds that showed antioxidant activity were found to correlate well (R2 = 0.8003) with the corresponding IC50 values representing their inhibition of PhIP formation. It was assumed that the inhibitory effects of flavonoids on PhIP formation were probably achieved by scavenging free radicals generated in the reaction system. These findings provide valuable information for the development of effective strategies to minimize heterocyclic amine content in thermally processed food.
The multi-cationic site occupation control of rare earth doped phosphor materials is one of the key factors in achieving single-phase full-spectrum emission. In this work, the site distribution of Eu
