A novel method of myostatin inhibition is provided.

An antisense oligonucleotide of 15-30 bases or a salt or a solvate thereof, wherein the antisense oligonucleotide has a nucleotide sequence complementary to a target site in exon 1 of the myostatin gene and is capable of inhibiting the production of the mRNA of the myostatin gene. A pharmaceutical drug, a food, a feed, an agent for promoting myocyte proliferation and/or hypertrophy, an agent for increasing muscle mass and/or inhibiting muscle weakness, an agent for inhibiting production of the mRNA of the myostatin gene, and an inhibitor of the function of myostatin, each of which comprises the above antisense oligonucleotide or a salt or a solvate thereof.

The present invention relates to processes for extracting lipid from vegetative plant parts such as leaves, stems, roots and tubers, and for producing industrial products such as hydrocarbon products from the lipids. Preferred industrial products include alkyl esters which may be blended with petroleum based fuels.

Provided herein are agents, compositions, and methods for agricultural use, e.g., for altering the level, activity, or metabolism of one or more microorganisms resident in a host nematode or arthropod (e.g., honeybee or silkworm), the alteration resulting in an increase in the fitness of the host. The invention features a composition that includes an agent (e.g., phage, peptide, small molecule, antibiotic, or combinations thereof) that can alter the host's microbiota in a manner that is beneficial to the host. By promoting favorable microbial levels, microbial activity, microbial metabolism, and/or microbial diversity, the agents described herein may be used to increase the fitness of a variety of beneficial nematodes or arthropods, such as bees and silkworms, utilized in agriculture and commerce.
