Article Synopsis
- - In October 2021, a leaf spot disease affecting Chrysanthemum (cv. Fubaiju) was reported in Hubei province, with about 40% of plants showing symptoms such as necrotic spots on leaves and stems leading to wilting.
- - To identify the pathogen, samples were collected from the lesions, sterilized, and incubated on potato dextrose agar, which resulted in the successful isolation of 15 fungal colonies exhibiting specific morphological traits.
- - Further molecular identification of the representative isolate HGNU2021-18 was conducted through amplification and sequencing of several gene regions, confirming it as the causal pathogen linked to the observed disease.
Article Synopsis
- Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a complex disorder affected by both genetic and environmental factors, and previous studies on its genetic risk factors have produced inconsistent results, indicating a need for more research.
- This study involved genotyping several gene variants in 400 women with PCOS and 480 healthy women, finding specific variants significantly associated with PCOS risk in the Chinese population.
- The findings suggest that certain genetic variants may be important risk factors for PCOS in Asian populations, but further research with larger and more diverse sample sizes is necessary to confirm these associations.
To enhance the specificity and sensitivity of molecular beacons (MBs) in detecting mRNA in living tumor cells, we introduced an aptamer (AS1411) to the delivery system of MBs to form an aptamer-decorated nanoprobe (ANP), which was prepared through self-assembly between AS1411-conjugated carboxymethyl chitosan (ACMC) with protamine sulfate (PS)/CaCO/MB cores. Owing to the specific binding of AS1411 to nucleolin, which is overexpressed in tumor cell membranes and nuclei, an AS1411-decorated MB-delivery system leads to dramatically increased cell uptake of MBs for probing survivin mRNA and thus induces strong intracellular fluorescence emission in targeted tumorous cells and cell nuclei. Furthermore, we demonstrate that ANP can efficiently detect survivin mRNA in mitochondria.

However, the genetic causes of the segregation distortion regions in a majority of species are still unclear. To genetically dissect the SD on chromosome 18 in cotton, eight reciprocal backcross populations and two F populations were developed.

The fiber quality and yield component traits of the two backcross populations were phenotyped at four environments (two locations, two years). One hundred seventy-eight quantitative trait loci (QTL) were detected including 76 for fiber qualities and 102 for yield components, explaining 4.

Relationships between genomic heterozygosity and traits-fitness have been extensively explored especially in the natural populations. But correlations between genomic heterozygosity and vegetative and reproductive traits in cotton interspecific populations have not been studied.
