QTL mapping for growth-related traits by constructing the first genetic linkage map in Simao pine.

Background: Simao pine is one of the primary economic tree species for resin and timber production in southwest China. The exploitation and utilization of Simao pine are constrained by the relatively lacking of genetic information. Construction a fine genetic linkage map and detecting quantitative trait locis (QTLs) for growth-related traits is a prerequisite section of Simao Pine's molecular breeding program.

The complete chloroplast genome of A. Camus (Fagaceae).

is highly valued in the furniture industry for its good wood texture, an endemic species in Yunnan province, southwest China. In our study, the chloroplast genome of was assembled and characterized based on Illumina pair-end sequencing data. The total genome size of was 160,699 bp, displayed a typical quadripartite structure including a pair of inverted repeat (IRs, 25,714 bp) regions separated by a large single-copy (LSC, 90,278 bp) region and a small single-copy (SSC, 18,963 bp) region.

Enhancing the expression of genes in poplar leads to multiple branches and transcriptomic changes.

The () gene is an important gene for regulating plant growth and development; however, transcriptomic responses of enhancing expression of gene in poplar are poorly investigated. To provide insight into the gene function of the gene in poplar, the transgenic poplar '717' and '84 K' lines were obtained, the morphology of transgenic plants was observed, and transcriptome profiles were compared. The results showed that there were multiple branches in transgenic seedlings compared with non-transgenic seedlings.

The complete chloroplast genome of Gaertn. F.

Gaertn. F., naturally distributes in Southern China, which is an elite natural tree with high economic and medicinal value.

The complete chloroplast genome of (Opiliaceae), an endemic species in southwest China.

The complete chloroplast genome sequence of , an endemic species in southwest China, is presented in this study. The total genome size of was 148,503 bp in length, with a typical quadripartite structure including a pair of inverted repeat (IRs, 28,075 bp) regions separated by a large single copy (LSC, 84,547bp) region and a small single copy (SSC, 7805 bp) region. The all GC content was 37.

The complete chloroplast genome sequence of (Wall.) Decne.

(Wall.) Decne. (Duo-Yi) is a high economic value for exploitation and utilization wild fruit tree species with edible and medicinal values in southwest China.

Comparative analysis of the complete chloroplast genomes of seven Populus species: Insights into alternative female parents of Populus tomentosa.

Populus tomentosa, of section Populus, is distributed mainly in northern China. This species has high resistance to many diseases and insects, and it plays key roles in shelterbelts and urban afforestation in northern China. It has long been suspected to be a hybrid, but its parents remain unknown.

Characterization of the complete chloroplast genomes of five species from the western Sichuan plateau, southwest China: comparative and phylogenetic analyses.

Species of the genus , which is widely distributed in the northern hemisphere from subtropical to boreal forests, are among the most commercially exploited groups of forest trees. In this study, the complete chloroplast genomes of five species (, , , , and ) were compared. The chloroplast genomes of the five species are very similar.

Plastome Sequences Help to Resolve Deep-Level Relationships of in the Family Salicaceae.

, a core genus of Salicaceae, plays a significant ecological role as a source of pioneer species in boreal forests. However, interspecific hybridization and high levels of morphological variation among poplars have resulted in great difficulty in classifying species for systematic and comparative evolutionary studies. Here, we present phylogenetic analyses of 24 newly sequenced plastomes and 36 plastomes from GenBank, which represent seven genera of Salicaceae, in combination with a matrix of eighteen morphological characters of 40 taxa to reconstruct highly supported relationships of genus .

Experience of minimally invasive treatment in 520 patients with intracranial aneurysms.

Objective: To summarize the experience of minimally invasive treatment in 520 patients with intracranial aneurysms on a retrospective study.

Methods: The measures used in the treatment of 520 patients were reviewed in terms of timing of surgery, induced-hypotensive anesthesia, brain protection combined with temporal occlusion of the feeding artery, external drainage of CSF, dynamic monitoring of intracranial pressure, blood flow velocity, serum osmolality and CT scanning, anti-vasospasm therapy as well as selected interventional endovascular embolization of aneurysms.

Results: Of the 520 patients, 485 were treated with either direct clipping or endovascular embolization and 35 patients were treated non-surgically.
