The above mentioned results indicate that the exogenous Spd could help young rice spikelets to resist HT stress by reducing the expression of OsSAMDC2, OsSPDS1 and OsSPDS3, resulting in higher levels of endogenous Spd and Spm, which were also positively correlated with yield. In conclusion, the adverse effect of HT stress on young spikelets seems to be alleviated by increasing the amounts of Spd and Spm, which provides guidance for adaptation to heat stress during rice production.The binder of sperm family of proteins has been reported to be indispensable for sperm maturation and capacitation. However, their physiological functions in fertility have only been studied in vitro. CRISPR/Cas9 genome editing was utilized to generate double knockout (DKO) mice by simultaneously targeting the two murine binder of sperm genes, Bsph1 and Bsph2. To confirm that the homologous genes and proteins were completely eliminated in the DKO mice, different methods such as reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction, digital droplet-polymerase chain reaction and liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry were applied. Bsph1/2 DKO male mice were bred by intercrossing. Compared to wild type counterparts, male Bsph1/2 null mice, lacking BSPH1/2 proteins, were fertile with no differences in sperm motility and sperm count. However, the weights of male pups were significantly increased in Bsph1/2 double knockout mice in a time dependent manner spanning days 6 and 21, as well as 6 weeks of age. No change was detected in the weights of female pups during the same period. Taken together, these data indicate that BSPH1/2 proteins are dispensable for male fertility in mice but may influence growth.Currently, the inspection and supervision of animal ingredients relies primarily upon spec
