Based on an improved method of AFLP, AFLP markers were employed for construction of a linkage map and localization of Gc gene used a set of 44 backcross lines( BC1) of silkworm ( Bombyx mori) as a mapping population. In this work, all together 3 956 bands were obtained by 28 pairs of primers and 141.3 bands each primer pair on average. Among them 2 836 bands were in good agreement with the segregation pattern. A total of 1 018 (25.7%) polymorphic AFLP markers were detected. The 693 (68.1%) of polymorphic markers with 1:1 segregation ratio ( P < or = 0.05) were obtained. Furthermore,The analytical model was based on the backcross type and the parameters were set as following: LOD = 3.0, maximum recombination value of 0. 20 and use the command ' group', 'compare', 'try', 'map' and 'ripple' to construct the linkage maps. 407 of the 693 loci were chi2 tested in agreement with 1:1 segregation were divided into 33 linkages by Mapmaker/Exp(Version 3.0), with a total map distance of 3 676.7 cM and a mean distance of 9.1 cM between markers. The morphological gene Gc was located between L-P4T6-107 and L-PT6T4-84 on linkage group 22. In addition, 286 markers were not included in the linkage groups. The efficiency of loci mapping was 58.7%. Among the 33 linkage groups, the morphological marker Gc classically localized on linkage group 15 was relocated on linkage group 22 on the map, suggesting that this molecular linkage group corresponds to linkage group 15 on the linkage map based on morphological characters. All these have laid an important base for the marker assisted breeding of the silkworm.

Powdery mildew, caused by the fungus , is one of the primary causes of grape yield loss across the globe. While numerous resistance loci have been identified in various grapevine species, the genetic determinants of susceptibility to remain largely unexplored. Understanding the genetics of susceptibility for pathogenesis is equally important for developing durable resistance grapevines against this pathogen.

The antifreeze mechanism of antifreeze glycoproteins (AFGPs) remains incompletely understood, which limits the design of new antifreeze molecules for practical applications. For instance, the ice growth inhibition of AFGP8 (the shortest AFGPs) is primarily driven by hydrophobic methyl and hydrogen-bonding hydroxyl groups. However, altering the C3-β linkage in the disaccharide moiety of AFGP8, denoted as variant GP8-LacNAc, significantly reduces its antifreeze activity.

Agriculture has been recognized as a key sector to leverage for improved food security. Yet, the evidence on agriculture-gender linkages to food security is still scarce and winding. This study investigates the impact of women empowerment in agriculture on efficiency and food security of households and individuals.

Background And Aims: Atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) is a leading cause of mortality, and while the association between the urinary albumin-to-creatinine ratio (UACR) and cardiovascular risk is recognized, the specific impact of UACR on the long-term survival of ASCVD patients remains not fully understood. The aim of this study is to investigate the influence of UACR on the long-term risk of all-cause mortality in patients with ASCVD.
Methods: This study included ASCVD patients from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) from 1999 to 2018.

Introduction: In Germany, there has been no population-level pharmacoepidemiological study on the safety of the COVID-19 vaccines. One factor preventing such a study so far relates to challenges combining the different relevant data bodies on vaccination with suitable outcome data, specifically statutory health insurance claims data. Individual identifiers used across these data bodies are of unknown quality and reliability for data linkage.
