This is the case of a 28-year-old male patient with no particular pathological history who presented with an inflammatory swelling of the right cheek with pus in an infectious context. Cervicofacial CT with contrast injection allowed the diagnosis of a right cervicofacial cellulitis, associated with a jugular venous thrombosis extending to the superior vena cava. It also revealed septic pulmonary metastases in the form of multiple excavated pulmonary nodules.

Article Synopsis
  • - Cotton Verticillium wilt (VW) is a severe disease that negatively impacts cotton fiber yield and quality, making it crucial to develop cotton varieties with high resistance to the disease through selective breeding of Gossypium species.
  • - Researchers utilized 300 chromosome segment substitution lines (CSSLs) from two cotton species, Gossypium hirsutum and Gossypium barbadense, to map quantitative trait loci (QTL) related to VW resistance, identifying a total of 40 QTL.
  • - The study's findings, which include the discovery of stable QTL and novel hotspot regions across 21 chromosomes, provide valuable insights into the genetic mechanisms behind VW resistance, aiding future breeding programs for developing

Cotton ( spp.) is the number one crop cultivated for fiber production and the cornerstone of the textile industry. Drought and salt stress are the major abiotic stresses, which can have a huge economic impact on cotton production; this has been aggravated with continued climate change, and compounded by pollution.

Cotton production is on the decline due to ever-changing environmental conditions. Drought and salinity stress contribute to over 30% of total loss in cotton production, the situation has worsened more due to the narrow genetic base of the cultivated upland cotton. The genetic diversity of upland cotton has been eroded over the years due to intense selection and inbreeding.

Fiber quality and yield improvement are crucial for cotton domestication and breeding. With the transformation in spinning techniques and multiplicity needs, the development of cotton fiber quality and yield is of great importance. A genetic map of 5178 Single Nucleotide Polymorphism (SNP) markers were generated using 277 F population, from an intra-specific cross between two upland cotton accessions, CCRI35 a high fiber quality as female and Nan Dan Ba Di Da Hua (NH), with good yield properties as male parent.

Over 6% of agricultural land is affected by salinity. It is becoming obligatory to use saline soils, so growing salt-tolerant plants is a priority. To gain an understanding of the genetic basis of upland cotton tolerance to salinity at seedling stage, an intra-specific cross was developed from CCRI35, tolerant to salinity, as female with Nan Dan (NH), sensitive to salinity, as the male.
