Congenital Cytomegalovirus in a Resource-Limited Setting: A Case Report.

Diagnosing congenital cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection in neonates, particularly in developing countries with limited resources, can be challenging. This case report and literature review highlights the clinical presentation, diagnostic challenges, and management strategies associated with congenital CMV infection in a limited-resource setting. A female neonate born at 37 weeks and weighing 1760 grams presented with jaundice, petechial rash, and ventriculomegaly detected on prenatal ultrasound.

Dissecting the genetic architecture of root-related traits in a grafted wild Vitis berlandieri population for grapevine rootstock breeding.

In woody perennial plants, quantitative genetics and association studies remain scarce for root-related traits, due to the time required to obtain mature plants and the complexity of phenotyping. In grapevine, a grafted cultivated plant, most of the rootstocks used are hybrids between American Vitis species (V. rupestris, V.

Chimeras in Merlot grapevine revealed by phased assembly.

Chimerism is the phenomenon when several genotypes coexist in a single individual. Used to understand plant ontogenesis they also have been valorised through new cultivar breeding. Viticulture has been taking economic advantage out of chimeras when the variant induced an important modification of wine type such as berry skin colour.

Genetic structure and first genome-wide insights into the adaptation of a wild relative of grapevine, .

In grafted plants, such as grapevine, increasing the diversity of rootstocks available to growers is an ideal strategy for helping plants to adapt to climate change. The rootstocks used for grapevine are hybrids of various American , including . .

Dual domestications and origin of traits in grapevine evolution.

We elucidate grapevine evolution and domestication histories with 3525 cultivated and wild accessions worldwide. In the Pleistocene, harsh climate drove the separation of wild grape ecotypes caused by continuous habitat fragmentation. Then, domestication occurred concurrently about 11,000 years ago in Western Asia and the Caucasus to yield table and wine grapevines.
