A gap-free genome assembly of Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. conglutinans, a vascular wilt pathogen.

Fusarium oxysporum is an asexual filamentous fungus that causes vascular wilt in hundreds of crop plants and poses a threat to public health through Fusariosis. F. oxysporum f.

Two telomere-to-telomere gapless genomes reveal insights into Capsicum evolution and capsaicinoid biosynthesis.

Chili pepper (Capsicum) is known for its unique fruit pungency due to the presence of capsaicinoids. The evolutionary history of capsaicinoid biosynthesis and the mechanism of their tissue specificity remain obscure due to the lack of high-quality Capsicum genomes. Here, we report two telomere-to-telomere (T2T) gap-free genomes of C.

Intra-sample reversed pairs based on differentially ranked genes reveal biosignature for ovarian cancer.

Ovarian cancer, a major gynecological malignancy, often remains undetected until advanced stages, necessitating more effective early screening methods. Existing biomarker based on differential genes often suffers from variations in clinical practice. To overcome the limitations of absolute gene expression values including batch effects and biological heterogeneity, we introduced a pairwise biosignature leveraging intra-sample differentially ranked genes (DRGs) and machine learning for ovarian cancer detection across diverse cohorts.

De novo chromosome-level genome assembly of Chinese motherwort (Leonurus japonicus).

Chinese motherwort (Leonurus japonicus), a member of Lamiaceae family, is a commonly used medicinal herb for treating obstetrical and gynecological diseases, producing over 280 officinal natural products. Due to limited genomic resources, little progress has been made in deciphering the biosynthetic pathway of valuable natural products in L. japonicus.

ScPNP-A, a plant natriuretic peptide from Stellera chamaejasme, confers multiple stress tolerances in Arabidopsis.

As a class of peptide hormone, plant natriuretic peptides (PNPs) play an important role in maintaining water and salt balance in plants, as well as in the physiological processes of biotic stress and pathogen resistance. However, in plants, except for some PNPs, such as the Arabidopsis thaliana PNP-A (AtPNP-A), of which the function has not yet been thoroughly revealed, few PNPs in other plants have been reported. In this study, a PNP-A (ScPNP-A) has been identified and characterized in Stellera chamaejasme for the first time.

, a NAC-Type Transcription Factor, Conferring Enhanced Drought and Salt Stress Tolerance in .

The NAC proteins form one of the largest families of plant-specific transcription factors (TFs) and play essential roles in developmental processes and stress responses. In this study, we characterized a NAC domain transcription factor, , from a legume . OoNAC72 was proved to be localized in the nuclei in tobacco lower epidermal cells and had transcriptional activation activity in yeast, confirming its transcription activity.
