Pollen Morphology in L. (Rosaceae) and Its Taxonomic Implications.

The genus L. in the Rosaceae family is taxonomically challenging due to its morphological variation, polyploidy, and interspecific hybridization. In this study, we used scanning electron microscopy (SEM) to observe the pollen morphology of eighty species, representing six subgenera, in order to assess the differences within the genus and its pollen characteristics.

Comparative analysis of the complete plastid genomes in Prunus subgenus Cerasus (Rosaceae): Molecular structures and phylogenetic relationships.

Prunus subgenus Cerasus (cherry) is an economically important group that distributed in temperate regions of the northern hemisphere. However, shared interspecific morphological traits and variability across taxa of Cerasus are among the impediments to taxonomic efforts to correctly delimit taxa. This is further complicated by a lack of genetic information on these taxa, with no focused genomic or phylogenetic studies being done on Cerasus.

SWATH-MS based quantitive proteomics reveal regulatory metabolism and networks of androdioecy breeding system in Osmanthus fragrans.

Background: The fragrant flower plant Osmanthus fragrans has an extremely rare androdioecious breeding system displaying the occurrence of males and hermaphrodites in a single population, which occupies a crucial intermediate stage in the evolutionary transition between hermaphroditism and dioecy. However, the molecular mechanism of androdioecy plant is very limited and still largely unknown.

Results: Here, we used SWATH-MS-based quantitative approach to study the proteome changes between male and hermaphroditic O.

The complete plastid genome of cherry plants (Rosaceae) and its phylogenetic implication.

is an ornamental flowering cherry species, spread in Japan, Korea, Russia, and Northeast China. Little information is available regarding its genomic, with limited phylogenetic relationship study performed on until now. In this research, we reported the complete plastid genome of The complete chloroplast of this species is 158,138 bp in length, including a pair of invert repeat regions (IR) (26,463bp) that is divided by a large single-copy region (LSC) (85,959bp) and a small single-copy region (SSC) (19,253bp).

Complete chloroplast genome of a wild-type ellis (rubiaceae) adapted to island climate.

Ellis is a traditional aromatic and medicinal plant in China. Here, the complete chloroplast genome of a wild-type gardenia adapted to island climate was assembled. The assembled genome was 155,247 bp in length, with four typical regions, i.

Complete chloroplast genome of the wild Japanese Mountain cherry (, Rosaceae).

is a species of Prunus native to eastern Asia. We determined the first complete chloroplast genome of using genome skimming approach. The cp genome was 157,905 bp long, with a large single-copy region (LSC) of 85,910 bp and a small single-copy region (SSC) of 19,123 bp separated by a pair of inverted repeats (IRs) of 26,436 bp.

Phylogeography and the population genetic structure of flowering cherry (Rosaceae) in subtropical and temperate China.

(Rosaceae) is an important flowering cherry resource which is valuable for developing new cultivars of flowering cherries. It is broadly distributed and possesses abundant variations. In this study, phylogeographic analysis was conducted to reveal the evolutionary history to better understand the genetic diversity and genetic structure of so as to provide more accurate molecular insights into better conservation and utilization of the germplasm resources.

The genome of Chinese flowering cherry () provides new insights into species.

is a flowering cherry germplasm resource for ornamental purposes. In this work, we present a de novo chromosome-scale genome assembly of by the use of Nanopore and Hi-C sequencing technologies. The assembled genome is 265.

The complete plastid genome of cherry plants (Rosaceae) and its phylogenetic implication.

is an endemic cherry species with ornamental value, spread in eastern China (Anhui, Jiangxi, Zhejiang provinces). Little information is available regarding its genomic, with limited phylogenetic relationship study performed on until now. The plastid genome was 158,024 bp in length consisting of four regions: large single-copy region (85,953 bp), small single-copy region (19,113 bp), and a pair of inverted repeat regions (26,469 bp each).

The eIF3a Arg803Lys genetic polymorphism is associated with susceptibility to and chemoradiotherapy efficacy in cervical carcinoma.

We aimed to explore the correlations between eukaryotic translation initiation factor 3, subunit A (eIF3a) polymorphisms and susceptibility to and chemoradiotherapy efficacy in cervical carcinoma. Between August 2007 and August 2011, 176 patients with cervical carcinoma were enrolled as the case group, and 180 healthy individuals were selected as the control group. eIF3a Arg803Lys C>T genotypes were detected by hemi-nested polymerase chain reaction restriction fragment length polymorphism.

Increased expression of miR-15b is associated with clinicopathological features and poor prognosis in cervical carcinoma.

Objective: The aims of this study were to explore the expression of microRNA-15b (miR-15b) in cervical carcinoma and to correlate its expression with clinicopathological characteristics and prognosis.

Methods: Quantitative reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction analysis was conducted to quantify the expression level of miR-15b in 607 cervical tissues, including 185 cervical carcinoma tissues, 124 CIN I lesions, 148 CIN II-III lesions, and 150 normal cervical tissues. The 5-year overall cumulative survival rates for all patients with cervical carcinoma were calculated using Kaplan-Meier survival analysis, and multivariate survival analysis of these patients was completed using the stepwise Cox proportional hazards regression model.
