  • Publication number: 20240091172
    Abstract: A drug for antagonizing the replication of porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) and an application thereof. By using a viral infection test, a drug which antagonizes PRRSV—xanthohumol—is discovered for the first time from among a natural drug library of 386 plant sources. Xanthohumol can effectively inhibit PRRSV replication on both Marc-145 and PAM cells. Five xanthohumol derivatives having different molecular structures are artificially synthesized, and it is discovered that a derivative Xn-4 has the strongest inhibitory effect on virus replication in vitro. Test results of artificial infection and drug therapy in piglets show that the Xn-4 can effectively inhibit PRRSV viremia, relieve clinical symptoms of infected pigs, and significantly reduce lung inflammation and pathological damage.

  • Patent number: 11542482
    Abstract: The present invention discloses rice serine hydroxymethyltransferase coded gene OsSHM4 mutants and application thereof. The rice serine hydroxymethyltransferase coded gene mutants are obtained in a manner that T at a 461st position of a CDS sequence region of a wild type rice OsSHM4 gene is mutated to C, so that coded amino acids thereof are mutated from leucine to proline. A CDS sequence of the wild type rice OsSHM4 gene is shown in SEQ ID NO. 1. After mutation of serine hydroxymethyltransferase coded genes OsSHM4, under a field experiment condition, S and Se content of rice shoots is remarkably improved without influencing biomass of rice. After wild type serine hydroxymethyltransferase coded genes OsSHM4 are genetically modified to complement the mutants, S and Se content of shoots of complemented strains is restored to that of wild type rice water planting.
