Biological doses were estimated by using the yields of dicentrics plus rings(dic+r) and cytokinesis-block micronuclei (CBMN) for two victims of the accident radiation occurred on Mar 6,2000 in the City of Xuchang(victim A), and Jun 26,2000 in the City of Kaifeng(victim B), Henan Province,respectively. The results indicated that the equvalent whole body doses based on the standard dose-response curves established by the analyses of dic+r and CBMN were estimated to be 1.44Gy and 1.43Gy(victim A), and 0.15Gy and 0.22Gy(victim B). These doses were very consistent with the mean doses calculated from physical measurement and conformable to the clinical dianosis. The dic+r aberrations of victim A did not accord with Poisson distribution. The analyses of chromosomal aberrations and CBMN are an extremely reliable method in biological dosimetry. The radiation which victim A was exposed to was heterogeneous.

Abscisic acid (ABA) is a crucial phytohormone that regulates plant growth and stress responses. While substantial knowledge exists about transcriptional regulation, the molecular mechanisms underlying ABA-triggered translational regulation remain unclear. Recent advances in deep sequencing of ribosome footprints (Ribo-seq) enable the mapping and quantification of mRNA translation efficiency.

Introduction: Lonicera caerulea L. (blue honeysuckle) is a noteworthy fleshy-fruited tree and a prominent medicinal plant, which possesses notable characteristics such as exceptional resilience to winter conditions and early maturation, and the richest source of functional anthocyanins, particularly cyanidin-3-glucoside. The molecular mechanisms responsible for its freezing tolerance and anthocyanin biosynthesis remain largely unknown.

This retrospective cohort study aimed to define the optimal Regions of Homozygosity (ROH) size cut-offs for prediction of morbidity, based on 13 483 Chromosomal Microarray Analyses (CMA). Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were generated, and area under the curve (AUC) was used to assess the predictive capability of total ROH percentage (TRPS), ROH number and ROH segment size in distinguishing between healthy (n=6,196) and affected (n=6,839) cohorts. The metrics were examined for telomeric and interstitial segments, distinct TRPS categories, and across different ancestral origins.

Background: Isodon lophanthodies is a perennial herb and the whole plant has medicinal value distributed in southern China and southeast Asia. The absence of a reference genome has hindered evolution and genomic breeding research of this species.
Results: In this study, we present a high-quality, chromosome-level genome assembly of I.

We analysed the chromosomal structures of two wheat-Thinopyrum intermedium addition lines Z4 and Z5 and resolved the linkage relationship between the leaf rust and stripe rust resistance genes in Z4. Wheat addition lines Z4 and Z5 carrying rust resistance genes from Thinopyrum intermedium (JJJJStSt, 2n = 6x = 42) together with three wheat lines involved in the production of these addition lines were analysed by rust response, 90K SNP genotyping, and molecular cytogenetic analysis. Seedling leaf rust (LR) responses to five diverse pathotypes indicated that the LR resistance gene(s) was located in translocation chromosome T3DS-3AS.
