Sparse whole-genome sequencing identifies two loci for major depressive disorder

Na Cai, +108 more
- 30 Jul 2015 - 
TL;DR: Using low-coverage whole-genome sequencing of 5,303 Chinese women with recurrent MDD selected to reduce phenotypic heterogeneity, and 5,337 controls screened to exclude MDD, two loci contributing to risk of MDD on chromosome 10 are identified: one near the SIRT1 gene and the other in an intron of the LHPP gene.
Journal ArticleDOI

Identification and characterization of Bph14, a gene conferring resistance to brown planthopper in rice.

TL;DR: This work cloned Bph14, a gene conferring resistance to Brown planthopper at seedling and maturity stages of the rice plant, using a map-base cloning approach and shows that it encodes a coiled-coil, nucleotide-binding, and leucine-rich repeat (CC-NB-LRR) protein that might function in recognition of the BPH insect invasion and activating the defense response.
Journal ArticleDOI

Knockdown of midgut genes by dsRNA-transgenic plant-mediated RNA interference in the hemipteran insect Nilaparvata lugens.

TL;DR: The results demonstrate the potential of dsRNA-mediated RNAi for field-level control of planthoppers, but appropriate target genes must be selected when designing the ds RNA-transgenic plants.
Journal ArticleDOI

Herbivore-Induced Callose Deposition on the Sieve Plates of Rice: An Important Mechanism for Host Resistance

TL;DR: The brown planthopper (Nilaparvata lugens Stal; BPH) is a specialist herbivore on rice (Oryza sativa) that ingests phloem sap from the plant through its stylet mouthparts as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI

Molecular Signatures of Major Depression

Na Cai, +75 more
- 04 May 2015 - 
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that changes in the amount of mtDNA and telomere length are consequences of stress and entering a depressed state and have important implications for understanding how stress causes the disease.
