The selection response of a complex maize population improved primarily for quantitative disease resistance to northern leaf blight (NLB) and secondarily for common rust resistance and agronomic phenotypes was investigated at the molecular genetic level. A tiered marker analysis with 151 simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers in 90 individuals of the population indicated that on average six alleles per locus were available for selection. An improved test statistic for selection mapping was developed, in which quantitative trait loci (QTL) are identified through the analysis of allele-frequency shifts at mapped multiallelic loci over generations of selection. After correcting for the multiple tests performed, 25 SSR loci showed evidence of selection. Many of the putatively selected loci were unlinked and dispersed across the genome, which was consistent with the diffuse distribution of previously published QTL for NLB resistance. Compelling evidence for selection was found on maize chromosome 8, where several putatively selected loci colocalized with published NLB QTL and a race-specific resistance gene. Analysis of F2 populations derived from the selection mapping population suggested that multiple linked loci in this chromosomal segment were, in part, responsible for the selection response for quantitative resistance to NLB.

Pseudouridine (Ψ) is an abundant RNA chemical modification that plays critical biological functions. Current Ψ detection methods are limited in identifying Ψs at base-resolution in U-rich sequence contexts, where Ψ occurs frequently. Here we report "Mut-Ψ-seq" that utilizes the classic N-cyclohexyl N'-(2-morpholinoethyl)carbodiimide (CMC) agent and an evolved reverse transcriptase ("RT-1306") for Ψ mapping at base-resolution.

Quantitative structure retention relation (QSRR) is an active field of research, primarily focused on predicting chromatography retention time (Rt) based on molecular structures of an input analyte on a single or limited number of reversed-phase HPLC (RP-HPLC) columns. However, in the pharmaceutical chemistry manufacturing and controls (CMC) settings, single-column QSRR models are often insufficient. It is important to translate retention time across different HPLC methods, specifically different stationary phases (SP) and mobile phases (MP), to guide the HPLC method development, and to bridge organic impurity profiles across different development phases and laboratories.

Software-defined networking (SDN) offers an effective solution for flexible management of Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) by separating control logic from sensor nodes. This paper tackles the challenge of timely recovery from SDN controller failures and proposes a game theoretic model for multi-domain controllers. A game-enhanced autonomous fault recovery algorithm for SDN controllers is proposed, which boasts fast fault recovery and low migration costs.

To address the shortcomings of light detection and ranging (LiDAR) sensors in extracting road surface elevation information in front of a vehicle, a scheme for digital terrain construction based on the fusion of an Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) and LiDAR perception is proposed. First, two sets of sensor coordinate systems were configured, and the parameters of LiDAR and IMU were calibrated. Then, a terrain construction system based on the fusion perception of IMU and LiDAR was established, and improvements were made to the state estimation and mapping architecture.
