SlGH3.15, a member of the GH3 gene family, regulates lateral root development and gravitropism response by modulating auxin homeostasis in tomato.

Multiple Gretchen Hagen 3 (GH3) genes have been implicated in a range of processes in plant growth and development through their roles in maintaining hormonal homeostasis. However, there has only been limited study on the functions of GH3 genes in tomato (Solanum lycopersicum). In this work, we investigated the important function of SlGH3.

Rapid quantification of goat milk adulteration with cow milk using Raman spectroscopy and chemometrics.

As goat milk has a higher economic value compared to cow milk, the phenomenon of adulterating goat milk with cow milk appears in the market. In this study, the potential of Raman spectroscopy along with chemometrics was investigated for the authentication and quantitation of liquid goat milk adulterated with cow milk. First, the results of principal component analysis (PCA) showed that there were differences between the Raman spectra of cow and goat milk, which made quantitative experiments possible.

Case Report: Metagenomic Next-Generation Sequencing Clinches the Diagnosis of Acute Q Fever and Verified by Indirect Immunofluorescence Assay.

Q fever is a zoonotic infectious disease caused by . The clinical symptoms of acute Q fever are usually atypical, and routine serological tests of are not readily available, making the diagnosis of Q fever a challenge. In this case, we report a male patient who had repeated fevers and was administered empirical anti-infective treatment, but the effect was poor.

Genome-Wide Identification and Molecular Characterization of the Growth-Regulating Factors-Interacting Factor Gene Family in Tomato.

Growth-regulating factors-interacting factor (GIF) proteins play crucial roles in the regulation of plant growth and development. However, the molecular mechanism of GIF proteins in tomato is poorly understood. Here, four genes (named , , , and ) were identified from the tomato genome and clustered into two major clades by phylogenetic analysis.

Genome-wide association analysis identifies a natural variation in basic helix-loop-helix transcription factor regulating ascorbate biosynthesis via D-mannose/L-galactose pathway in tomato.

Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) is one of the highest-value vegetable crops worldwide. Understanding the genetic regulation of primary metabolite levels can inform efforts aimed toward improving the nutrition of commercial tomato cultivars, while maintaining key traits such as yield and stress tolerance. We identified 388 suggestive association loci (including 126 significant loci) for 92 metabolic traits including nutrition and flavor-related loci by genome-wide association study from 302 accessions in two different environments.
