Article Synopsis
- - The study focused on understanding the sex determination mechanisms in a species with sexual dimorphism and similar chromosome pairs, aiming to clarify its sex chromosome for insights into sex chromosome evolution in Pleuronectiformes.
- - Whole-genome resequencing revealed Chr23 as the sex chromosome with a significant sex-determining region (SDR) indicating an XX/XY system, and no inversions were found in the SDR but chromosomal rearrangements were noted.
- - A sex-specific genetic marker was identified, which could enhance breeding programs and practices in aquaculture by allowing for accurate genetic sex identification.
Generally speaking, it is difficult to keep nanomaterials encapsulated in amphiphilic polymers like octylamine-grafted poly(acrylic acid) (OPA) compact in coating-layer, with a small hydrodynamic size. Here, we prepared stable hydrophilic quantum dots (QDs) via encapsulation in ∼3 nm-long amphiphilic and zwitterionic (AZ) molecules. After encapsulation with AZ molecules, the coated QDs are only 2.

CASIP enables the formation of a defect-free thin dense active layer and favors higher water permeance up to 79.0 L m h with rejection above 98.

- - The study focused on how different rootstocks, Malus sieversii and M. hupehensis, affect the drought responses of 1-year-old 'Gale Gala' apple trees.
- - Trees grafted onto M. sieversii showed better resilience to drought, with higher growth rates and antioxidant enzyme activity, while M. hupehensis trees experienced more stress and lower water efficiency.
- - The findings suggest that using M. sieversii as rootstock could improve drought resistance in apple trees, making it suitable for areas with limited water supplies.
[Characteristics of urea 15N absorption, allocation, and utilization by sweet-cherry (Prunus avium L.)].

With five-year old 'Zaodaguo' sweet-cherry (Prunus avium L.) as test material, this paper studied the characteristics of its urea 15N absorption, allocation, and utilization when applied before bud-break. The results showed that the Ndff of different organs increased gradually with time, and was higher in fine roots and storage organs at full-blooming stage.
