AI Article Synopsis

  • Molecular breeders face challenges in utilizing genomic information for crop breeding, especially in less-studied crops.
  • A new comparative analysis tool and web-based genome viewer have been developed to streamline the identification of orthologous genes using synteny and sequence similarity among crops like tomato, pepper, and potato.
  • This tool features a user-friendly interface that aids in exploring functional orthologs and offers access to SNP markers, promoting faster molecular marker development for breeding in the Solanaceae family.

Article Abstract

It is necessary for molecular breeders to overcome the difficulties in applying abundant genomic information to crop breeding. Candidate orthologs would be discovered more efficiently in less-studied crops if the information gained from studies of related crops were used. We developed a comparative analysis tool and web-based genome viewer to identify orthologous genes based synteny as well as sequence similarity between tomato, pepper and potato. The tool has a step-by-step interface with multiple viewing levels to support the easy and accurate exploration of functional orthologs. Furthermore, it provides access to single nucleotide-polymorphism markers from the massive genetic resource pool in order to accelerate the development of molecular markers for candidate orthologs in the Solanaceae. This tool provides a bridge between genome data and breeding by supporting effective marker development, data utilization and communication.Database URL: http://tgsol.seeders.co.kr/scomp/.

Department of Forest Resources Management, Faculty of Forestry, University of British Columbia, Vancouver, V6T 1Z4, Canada. Electronic address:

The engagement of senior citizens with urban nature has been shown to provide multiple health benefits and mitigate health issues associated with demographic aging. This review utilized the PRISMA methodology to systematically analyze the relationship between monitoring tools, seniors' behaviors in urban nature, and influencing factors. The main findings are as follows: (1) 4 main types, including self-reports, on-site observations, sensors, and third-party data, and 24 sub-types of measurement tools: ranging from questionnaires to crowdsourced imagery services.

Background: Depression and anxiety are prevalent among older adults. However, most older adults have poor access to age-specific mental health services. While Information technology-based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (ICBT) has shown promise as an accessible alternative to face-to-face interventions, its effectiveness specifically within the older adults warrants further investigation.
