Read Full License Page 1/22 Abstract Background In recent years, thousands of different circular RNAs (circRNAs) have been identied through comparative analysis of different pig breeds. However, very few studies have investigated the spatiotemporal expression patterns of circRNA during organ development, which is crucial for functional and evolutionary analysis. Results In this study, we systematically analyzed circRNAs associated with fatty acid metabolism in the three main organs (muscle, fat and liver) a tfour growth time points (30 d, 90 d, 150 d and 210 d after birth) for Ningxiang pigs, awell-known native pig breed in China known for its excellent meat quality. We identied 61,683 circRNAs and analyzed their molecular characteristics, potential functions, and interactions with miRNAs. The circRNAs exhibited notable spatiotemporal specicity in the form of dynamic expression.

  • An Analysis of the Changing Role of Forest and Farm Income in Rural Livelihoods in China   M
    International Forestry Review Vol. 6(3-4), 2004 306 Looking through the bamboo curtain: an analysis of the changing role of forest and farm income in rural livelihoods in China M. RUIZ PÉREZz B. BELCHER, MAOYI FU and XIAOSHENG YANG z Department of Ecology, Faculty of Sciences, Universidad Autónoma de Madrid, Spain Center for International Forestry Research, Bogor, Indonesia Research Institute of Subtropical Forestry, Chinese Academy of Forestry, Fuyang, Zhejiang, P. R. China Email: [email protected] SUMMARY Forestry and poverty analyses in China show an ambiguous relationship. While the co-occurrence of forest rich areas and poor counties has been noted by some authors, others have stressed the role played by forestry in these areas where it is frequently one of the few options available. Our study indicates that the expansion of off-farm income is the fundamental development process taking place in many areas of rural China. Forestry can offer good income generating options to far- mers, but as the local economy develops forestry tends to be displaced by more attractive alternatives. There are niche spe- cialisation opportunities even for rich farmers, normally linked to a certain degree of vertical integration, enhanced by specific features of some forestry uses like bamboo. Keywords: rural livelihoods, poverty, forestry, bamboo, China INTRODUCTION come poverty.
