The presence of a major resistance gene (Bru1) for brown rust in the sugarcane cultivar R570 (2n about 115) was confirmed by analyzing segregation of rust resistance in a large population of 658 individuals, derived from selfing of clone R570. A subset of this population was analyzed with AFLP and bulked segregant analysis (BSA) to develop a detailed genetic map around the resistance gene. Four hundred and forty three primer pairs were used resulting in the identification of eight AFLP markers surrounding the resistance gene in an interval of 10 cM, with the closest markers located at 1.9 and 2.2 cM on each side of the gene. Efficiency of the AFLP/BSA applied to the complex polyploid genome of sugarcane is discussed, as well as the potential of the newly identified AFLP markers for developing a map-based cloning approach exploiting, synteny conservation with sorghum.

Our previous studies revealed the existence of a Universal Receptive System that regulates interactions between cells and their environment. This system is composed of DNA- and RNA-based Teazeled receptors (TezRs) found on the surface of prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells, as well as integrases and recombinases. In the current study, we aimed to provide further insight into the regulatory role of TezR and its loss in Staphylococcus aureus gene transcription.

Background: Pancreatic cancer is a highly aggressive neoplasm characterized by poor diagnosis. Amino acids play a prominent role in the occurrence and progression of pancreatic cancer as essential building blocks for protein synthesis and key regulators of cellular metabolism. Understanding the interplay between pancreatic cancer and amino acid metabolism offers potential avenues for improving patient clinical outcomes.

Background: In clinical practice, the emergence of ST11-K64 carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (ST11-K64 CRKP) has become increasingly alarming. Despite this trend, limited research has been conducted to elucidate the clinical and molecular characteristics of these strains.
Objectives: This study aimed to comprehensively investigate the clinical characteristics, antimicrobial resistance patterns, resistance and virulence-associated genes, and molecular epidemiology of ST11-K64 CRKP in Southwest China.

Background: Mutualistic mycorrhiza fungi that live in symbiosis with plants facilitates nutrient and water acquisition, improving tree growth and performance. In this study, we evaluated the potential of mutualistic fungal inoculation to improve the growth and disease resistance of Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) against the forest pathogen Heterobasidion annosum.

Background: Drought stress is a major environmental constraint affecting crop yields. Plants in agricultural and natural environments have developed various mechanisms to cope with drought stress. Identifying genes associated with drought stress tolerance in potato and elucidating their regulatory mechanisms is crucial for the breeding of new potato germplasms.
