Cytoplasm types of the potato somatic hybrids from Solanum tuberosum × Solanum etuberosum were analysed using chloroplast (cp) and mitochondrial (mt) organelle genomes-specific markers. Of the 29 markers (15 cpDNA and 14 mtDNA) amplified in the 26 genotypes, 5 cpDNA (H3, NTCP4, NTCP8, NTCP9, and ALC1/ALC3) and 13 mtDNA markers showed polymorphism. The cluster analysis based on the mtDNA markers detected higher diversity compared with the cpDNA markers. Presence of new mtDNA fragments of the markers, namely, T11-2, Nsm1, pumD, Nsm3, and Nsm4, were observed, while monomorphic loci revealed highly conserved genomic regions in the somatic hybrids. The study revealed that the somatic hybrids had diverse cytoplasm types consisting predominantly of T-, W-, and C-, with a few A- and S-type cp genomes; and α-, β-, and γ-type mt genomes. Somatic hybridization has unique potential to widen the cytoplasm types of the cultivated gene pools from wild species through introgression by breeding methods.

Producing homogeneous planting material in oil palm poses a significant challenge, which can be addressed through somatic embryogenesis. This study successfully achieved somatic embryogenesis using immature male inflorescence from Tenera hybrid. Modified Eeuwens medium yielded better results than the Murashige and Skoog (MS) and CHU (N6) media when supplemented with 2,4-D, picloram and α-naphthaleneacetic acid (NAA).

Long Interspersed Nuclear Element 1 (LINE1/L1) retrotransposons, which comprise 17% of the human genome, typically remain inactive in healthy somatic cells but are reactivated in several cancers. We previously demonstrated that p53 silences L1 transposons in human somatic cells, potentially acting as a tumor-suppressive mechanism. However, the precise molecular mechanisms underlying p53-mediated repression of L1 and its life cycle intermediates remain unclear.

R-spondin1 (Rspo1) is a member of the secreted furin-like domain-containing protein family, and it is recognized for its significance in mammalian ovarian development. However, its role in teleost ovarian development remains largely uninvestigated. The Qi River crucian carp (Carassius auratus) is a species capable of gynogenesis, and it encounters challenges of premature ovarian maturation in aquaculture settings.

Aims: Extragonadal yolk sac tumour (YST) is rare, and may present a diagnostic challenge. YST differentiation was recently reported in some somatically derived tumours in the sinonasal location and in the female genital tract, together with a SMARCB1/INI1 loss. We report two paratesticular/inguinal tumours with striking morphological and immunohistochemical similarities with YST, further expanding the spectrum of extragonadal tumours with YST-like morphology and SMARCB1/INI1 loss.

Sumoylation is a posttranslational modification essential for multiple cellular functions in eukaryotes. ULP-2 is a conserved SUMO protease required for embryonic development in Caenorhabditis elegans. Here, we revealed that ULP-2 controls germline development by regulating the PHD-SET domain protein, SET-26.
