Background Mature sperm carry thousands of RNAs, including mRNAs, lncRNAs, tRNAs,
rRNAs and sncRNAs, though their functional significance is still a matter of debate. Growing …

Mitophagy is a process in which cells remove dysfunctional mitochondria and recycle their
constituents in a lysosome-dependent manner. To probe this process, two different …

Prediction of bull fertility is critical for the sustainability of both dairy and beef cattle
production. Even though bulls produce ample amounts of sperm with normal parameters …

Abstract Background Small RNAs present in bovine ejaculate can be linked to sperm
abnormalities and fertility disorders. At present, quality parameters routinely used in semen …

Since their discovery approximately three decades ago, sperm-borne RNAs, both
large/small and coding/noncoding, have been reported in multiple organisms, and some …

Background The use of sex-sorted sperm in cattle assisted reproduction is constantly
increasing. However, sperm fertility can substantially differ between unsorted (conventional) …

Accumulating evidence indicates the absence of paternally derived miRNAs, piwiRNAs, and
proteins may be one important factor contributing to developmental failure in somatic cell …

Background Sperm miRNAs were reported to regulate spermatogenesis and early
embryonic development in some mammals including bovine. The dairy cattle breeding …

Increasing studies have shown that mature spermatozoa contain many transcripts including
mRNAs and miRNAs. However, the expression profile of long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) …

Chilling stress is a major factor limiting the yield and quality of vegetable soybean (Glycine
max L.) on a global scale. In the present study, systematic identification and functional …
