Article Synopsis
  • The Malvaceae family, the largest in the order Malvales, has nine subfamilies, with many species in the Firmiana genus being globally vulnerable and lacking genomic research.
  • A chromosome-level genome assembly for Firmiana hainanensis reveals it has 40 chromosomes and is closely related to Durio zibethinus, diverging around 21 million years ago, with significant events in their evolutionary histories.
  • The study highlights how changes in chromosome numbers and genome sizes, particularly influenced by repetitive elements and specific gene contractions, can impact traits like wood density in Malvaceae species.

Background: Gastric gastrointestinal stromal tumors in challenging anatomical locations are difficult to remove.

Methods: This study retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of 12 patients with gastric GISTs in challenging anatomical locations who underwent robot-assisted laparoscopic combined with endoscopic partial gastrectomy (RALE-PG) and manual suturing of the gastric wall.

Results: This study included 12 patients with a mean age of 56.

Article Synopsis
  • Plants have different amounts of oil in their seeds, and some important ones are soybean, cotton, rapeseed, and sesame.
  • Research showed that certain genes help these oil crops make more oil compared to other plants like maize and rice.
  • The study found specific genes and networks that control oil production in seeds and shows how different plants use these genes in unique ways to produce oil.

Introduction: Allotetraploid upland cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) is native to the Mesoamerican and Caribbean regions, had been improved in the southern United States by the mid-eighteenth century, was then dispersed worldwide. However, a Hainan Island Native Cotton (HIC) has long been grown extensively on Hainan Island, China.

Structural variations (SVs) have long been described as being involved in the origin, adaption, and domestication of species. However, the underlying genetic and genomic mechanisms are poorly understood. Here, we report a high-quality genome assembly of Gossypium barbadense acc.

The excellent Upland cotton (Gossypium hirsutum) cultivars developed since 1949 have made a huge contribution to cotton production in China, the world's largest producer and consumer of cotton. However, the genetic and genomic basis for the improvements of these cotton cultivars remains largely unclear. In this study, we selected 16 Upland cotton cultivars with important historical status in Chinese cotton breeding and constructed a multiparent, advanced generation, intercross (MAGIC) population comprising 920 recombinant inbred lines.

Plants sense and respond to fluctuating temperature and light conditions during the circadian cycle; however, the molecular mechanism underlying plant adaptability during daytime warm conditions remains poorly understood. In this study, we reveal that the ectopic regulation of a HEAT RESPONSIVE PROTEIN (GhHRP) controls the adaptation and survival of cotton (Gossypium hirsutum) plants in response to warm conditions via modulating phytohormone signaling. Increased ambient temperature promptly enhanced the binding of the phytochrome interacting factor 4 (GhPIF4)/ethylene-insensitive 3 (GhEIN3) complex to the GhHRP promoter to increase its mRNA level.

, representing one of the world's major pathogens, causes Verticillium wilt in important woody species, ornamentals, agricultural, etc., consequently resulting in a serious decline in production and quality, especially in cotton. and are two kinds of widely cultivated cotton species that suffer from Verticillium wilt, while has much higher resistance toward it than .

Background: Advances in genome sequencing technology, particularly restriction-site associated DNA sequence (RAD-seq) and whole-genome resequencing, have greatly aided the construction of cotton interspecific genetic maps based on single nucleotide polymorphism (SNPs), Indels, and other types of markers. High-density genetic maps can improve accuracy of quantitative trait locus (QTL) mapping, narrow down location intervals, and facilitate identification of the candidate genes.

Result: In this study, 249 individuals from an interspecific F population (TM-1 and Hai7124) were re-sequenced, yielding 6303 high-confidence bin markers spanning 5057.

Intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC) is a highly lethal hepatobiliary neoplasm, which originates from the bile ducts proximal to the second-order division. ICC can be anatomically divided into two subtypes: the large duct type (mucin-production ICC, muc-ICC) and the small duct type (mixed-ICC) origins from hepatic progenitor cells (HPCs). The immunoreactivity of S100P and neural cell adhesion molecule (NCAM) are useful biomarkers to distinguish the two subtypes.
