Article Synopsis
- The study explores the process of 2n egg formation in the wild potato species S. malmeanum, which is crucial for improving gene flow into cultivated potato varieties.
- It utilizes advanced techniques like fluorescence in situ hybridization and genomic sequencing to confirm the formation of these 2n gametes and assesses their genetic inheritance patterns.
- The findings highlight the potential of wild potatoes like S. malmeanum in enhancing traits for agriculture, overcoming reproductive barriers, and providing insight into optimizing wild germplasm for better potato cultivation.
A multi-parental population is an innovative tool for mapping large numbers of loci and genetic modifications, particularly where they have been used for breeding and pre-breeding in crops. Frost injury is an environmental stress factor that greatly affects the growth, development, production efficiency, and geographical distribution of crops. No reported study has focused on genetic mapping and molecular marker development using diallel populations of potatoes.

View Article and Find Full Text PDFObjective: FOXP3 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) were recently elucidated to influence the development of preeclampsia (PE), but the results on this issue still remained controversial. Thus, a meta-analysis was implemented to systematically investigate the roles of FOXP3 SNPs in PE.
Methods: Eligible publications were identified by retrieving relevant electronic databases.
Background: Vitiligo is a common pigmentary skin disorder, and genetic factors were acknowledged to be greatly associated with the pathogenesis of this disease. Recently, increasing studies investigated the associations of methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) rs1801131 and rs1801133 polymorphisms with risks of vitiligo, but the results still remained controversial.
Aim: The current meta-analysis was conducted to further evaluate the association of MTHFR polymorphisms with risk of vitiligo.
Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the role of a specific transcription factor, MESP1, in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), highlighting its crucial involvement in tumor development.
- The researchers used various methods, including bioinformatics analysis, qRT-PCR, and Western blotting, to assess MESP1's expression and its impacts on cell behavior in NSCLC.
- Results indicated that MESP1 expression is significantly higher in NSCLC, promoting cell proliferation, migration, and invasion, suggesting its potential as a therapeutic target for NSCLC treatment.
Peripheral muscle dysfunction is an important complication in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). The objective of this study was to explore the relationship between the levels of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor α (PPARα) mRNA expression and the respiratory function and ultrastructure of mitochondria in the vastus lateralis of patients with COPD. Vastus lateralis biopsies were performed on 14 patients with COPD and 6 control subjects with normal lung function.
