  • Patent number: 11879131
    Abstract: A use of a ZmSBP12 gene in the regulation of drought resistance, plant height, and ear height of Zea mays L. is provided. After the ZmSBP12 gene is over-expressed in Zea mays L., the resulting Zea mays L. mutant plant exhibits increased drought resistance and decreased plant and ear heights. The overexpression of the ZmSBP12 gene leads to increased drought resistance and decreased plant and ear heights, indicating that the ZmSBP12 gene plays a crucial role in the drought resistance and plant type (plant height) of Zea mays L. The expression abundance of the ZmSBP12 gene is increased to improve the drought resistance of Zea mays L. and reduce the plant and ear heights of Zea mays L., which can be used for the assisted breeding of novel drought-resistant and lodging-resistant Zea mays L. varieties and the breeding of excellent inbred lines and hybrids of Zea mays L.

  • Patent number: 11817181
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure belongs to the technical field of animal feed and provides a method for rapidly evaluating metabolizable energy of goose diet by using a technique of simulative digestion gross energy. By using the technical means combining the biological method and the simulative digestion gross energy technique, metabolizable energy of goose feed can be evaluated quickly. Based on the “stomach-small intestine” two-step enzymatic methods, it is the first time to establish a regression equation between the metabolizable energy change and fiber level in the cecum to rectify the value of simulative digestion gross energy in the cecal microbial digestion phase, making the simulative digestion gross energy technique more reasonable in the assessment of metabolizable energy in geese. Results show that the use of simulative digestion gross energy technique to assess the metabolizable energy of goose feed value is highly feasible.
