CHARACTERIZATION OF A NOVEL SPEXIN GENE (SPX2) IN THE HALF-SMOOTH TONGUE SOLE AND REGULATION OF ITS EXPRESSION BY NUTRITIONAL STATUS

Characterization of a novel spexin gene (spx2) in the half-smooth tongue sole and regulation of its expression by nutritional status

Spexin (SPX) is a newly identified peptide hormone of 14 amino acids (aa) with pleiotropic functions in vertebrates, and recently a second paralog of SPX animationbengal.com (named SPX2) has been only found in some non-mammalian species (the previous form of SPX is now designated as SPX1).Results of previous studies have revealed the existence of a

Gene flow in a pioneer plant metapopulation (Myricaria germanica) at the catchment scale in a fragmented alpine river system

Abstract River alterations for natural hazard mitigation and land reclamation result in habitat decline and fragmentation for riparian plant species.Extreme events such as floods are responsible for additional local species loss or population decline.Tributaries might provide refugia and subsequent source populations for the colonization of downstr
