Abstract
In poultry, prolactin (PRL) plays a key role in the regulation of incubation behavior, hormone secretion, and reproductive activities. However, previous in vitro studies have focused on the actions of PRL in ovarian follicles of poultry, relying on the use of exogenous or recombinant PRL, and the true role of PRL in regulating ovarian granulosa cell (GC) functions in poultry awaits a further investigation using endogenous native PRL. Therefore, in this study, we first isolated and purified recombinant goose PRL protein (rPRL) and native goose PRL protein (nPRL) using Ni-affinity chromatography and rabbit anti-rPRL antibodies-filled immunoaffinity chromatography, respectively. Then, we analyzed and compared the effects of rPRL and nPRL at different concentrations (0, 3, 30, or 300 ng/mL) on the proliferation and apoptosis of both GCs isolated from goose ovarian pre-hierarchical follicles (phGCs) and from hierarchical follicles (hGCs). Our results show that rPRL at lower concentrations increased the viability and proliferation of both phGCs and hGCs, while it exerted anti-apoptotic effects in phGCs by upregulating the expression of Bcl-2. On the other hand, nPRL increased the apoptosis of phGCs in a concentration-dependent manner by upregulating the expressions of caspase-3 and Fas and downregulating the expressions of Bcl-2 and Becn-1. In conclusion, this study not only obtained a highly pure nPRL for the first time, but also suggested a dual role of PRL in regulating the proliferation and apoptosis of goose GCs, depending on its concentration and the stage of follicle development. The data presented here can be helpful in purifying native proteins of poultry and enabling a better understanding of the roles of PRL during the ovarian follicle development in poultry.

Abstract
White clover is a widely grown temperate legume forage with high nutritional value. Research on the functional genomics of white clover requires a stable and efficient transformation system. In this study, we successfully induced calluses from the cotyledons and leaves of 10 different white clover varieties. The results showed that the callus formation rate in the cotyledons did not vary significantly among the varieties, but the highest callus formation rate was observed in 'Koala' leaves. Subsequently, different concentrations of antioxidants and hormones were tested on the browning rate and differentiation ability of the calluses, respectively. The results showed that the browning rate was the lowest on MS supplemented with 20 mg L-1 AgNO3 and 25 mg L-1 VC, respectively, and the differentiation rate was highest on MS supplemented with 1 mg L-1 6-BA, 1 mg L-1 KT and 0.5 mg L-1 NAA. In addition, the transformation system for Agrobacterium tumefaciens-mediated transformation of 4-day-old leaves was optimized to some extent and obtained a positive callus rate of 8.9% using green fluorescent protein (GFP) as a marker gene. According to our data, by following this optimized protocol, the transformation efficiency could reach 2.38%. The results of this study will provide the foundation for regenerating multiple transgenic white clover from a single genetic background.

Abstract
White clover (Trifolium repens) is one of the most widely cultivated livestock forage plants whose persistence is severely affected by abiotic stresses. For the white clover, efficient regeneration systems is still a great necessity. In this study, inoculating 4-day-old cotyledons into MS media fortified with 0.4 mg·L-1 6-BA and 2 mg·L-1 2,4-D significantly increased the callus induction rate. Roots and cotyledons proved to be better explants, followed by hypocotyls, leaves, and petioles for callus induction. The development of differentiated structures occurred effectively on MS supplemented with 1 mg·L-1 6-BA and 0.1 mg·L-1 NAA. To increase transformation, we investigated various factors affecting the Agrobacterium tumefaciens transformation in white clover. The optimal conditions for root-derived callus and 4-day-old cotyledons were as follows: Agrobacterium suspension density with OD600 of 0.5, 20 mg·L-1 AS, and 4 days of co-cultivation duration. Subsequently, we developed two transformation protocols: transformation after callus induction from 4-day-old roots (Protocol A) and transformation before initiation of callus from cotyledons (Protocol B). The transformation frequencies varied from 1.92 to 3.17% in Protocol A and from 2.76 to 3.47% in Protocol B. We report the possibility to regenerate multiple transgenic white clover plants from a single genetic background. Our research may also contribute to successful genetic manipulation and genome editing in white clover.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Auxin may have a positive effect on plants under drought stress. White clover is widely cultivated and often prone to water shortages. In the present study, we investigated the effects of exogenous indole - 3-acetic acid (IAA) on growth and physiological changes of white clover under drought stress condition. The contents of endogenous IAA and other hormones including ABA, CTK, JA, GA, IAA, and SA were assayed. Moreover, expressions of auxin-responsive genes, drought-responsive genes and leaf senescence-associated genes were detected in response to exogenous IAA. RESULTS Compared to control, drought stress alone significantly diminished stem dry weigh, relative water content (RWC) and total chlorophyll content (Chl). Exogenous IAA treatment significantly increased RWC and Chl, whereas L-AOPP treatment drastically decreased stem dry weight, RWC and Chl under drought stress condition. Additionally, exogenous IAA treatment significantly increased ABA content and JA content, up-regulated expression of auxin responsive genes (GH3.1, GH3.9, IAA8), drought stress responsive genes (bZIP11, DREB2, MYB14, MYB48, WRKY2, WRKY56, WRKY108715 and RD22), and down-regulated expressions of auxin-responding genes (GH3.3, GH3.6, IAA27) and leaf senescence genes (SAG101 and SAG102) in the presence of PEG. Contrarily, L-AOPP treatment significantly reduced contents of ABA, GA3 and JA, down-regulated expressions of GH3.1, GH3.9, IAA8, bZIP11, DREB2, MYB14, MYB48, WRKY2, WRKY56, WRKY108715, ERD and RD22, and up-regulated SAG101 and SAG102. CONCLUSIONS Exogenous IAA improved drought tolerance of white clover possibly due to endogenous plant hormone concentration changes and modulation of genes involving in drought stress response and leaf senescence. These results provided useful information to understand mechanisms of IAA improved drought tolerance in white clover.

Abstract
The determination of molecular weight of natural cellulose remains a challenge nowadays, due to the difficulty in dissolving cellulose. In this work, tetra-n-butylammonium hydroxide (TBAH) and dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) aqueous solution (THDS) were used to dissolve cellulose in a few minutes under room temperature into true molecular solutions. That is to say, the cellulose was dissolved in the solution in molecular level, and the viscosity of the solution is linearly dependent on the concentration of cellulose. The relationship between the molecular weight of cellulose and the intrinsic viscosity tested in such dilute solutions has been established in the form of the Mark-Houwink equation, η=0.24×DP1.21. The value of 1.21 indicates that the cellulose molecules dissolve in THDS quite well. The cellulose dispersion in the THDS was proved to be in molecular level by atomic force microscope (AFM) and dynamic light scattering (DLS). The reliability of the established Mark-Houwink equation was cross-checked by the gel permeation chromatography (GPC) and traditional copper (II) ethylenediamine (CED) method. No considerate degradation was observed by comparing the intrinsic viscosity and the degree of polymerization (DP) values of the original with and the regenerated cellulose samples. The natural cellulose can be molecularly dispersed in the multiple-component solvent (THDS), and kept stable for a certain period. A time efficient and reliable method has been supplied for determination of the degree of polymerization and the molecular weight of cellulose.
