The results of the present study supported the general presence of selection for OSC in prokaryotic genomes, with more than 93% of examined genomes clearly showing OSC overrepresentation under the nucleotide-based Markov models.
Compared with developed countries, the experience, skills, and market demand of applying OSC in China are far from adequate, which also increases the price of deploying OSC nationwide.
In Arabidopsis, OSC, lupeol synthase (LUP1), directly converts DOS to oxacyclic triterpenoid epoxydammarane [ 23], so there might be similar OSC in P. vietnamensis, which catalyzed the cyclization of DOS.
Meiotic entry SCP3 protein is expressed in precursor cells of OSC in some segments of tunica albuginea in functional adult human ovaries (arrowhead, Figure 6H) and also in OSC cells of human (panel I) and monkey ovaries [ 71].
Our studies suggested that the bone marrow derived white blood cells (monocytes and T lymphocytes) accompany the origin of new germ cells from OSC in fetal and adult human and adult rat ovaries, or from medullary stem cells in adult rats lacking OSC (reviewed in [ 72, 84]).
Former volunteer Bonnie Scott, who has also filed a whistleblower complaint with the OSC in response to her own treatment by Peace Corps, said: "I wish they would come clean.
