Article Synopsis
- This study investigates the impact of ionizing radiation, specifically γ-ray irradiation, on the breeding process of tulips, an important ornamental plant, aiming to accelerate the development of new varieties.
- Results showed that low radiation doses (5 Gy) improved bulb germination and survival rates, while higher doses (20 to 100 Gy) significantly hindered seed germination, plant growth, and flower characteristics.
- The research discovered various genetic variations in tulips through ISSR-PCR analysis, highlighting that 80 Gy may be the optimal radiation dose for enhancing mutagenic breeding efficiency in tulips.
Objectives: A single carbapenem-resistant, hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae strain has attracted major public concern. The aim of the present study was to better understand the antimicrobial resistance and genetic characteristics of Klebsiella pneumoniae strain XJ-K1.
Methods: Klebsiella pneumoniae strain XJ-K1 was isolated from a urine specimen of a 69-year-old male patient in a teaching hospital in Shanghai, China, in January 2018.
