The nuclear fertility restorer gene Rf5 in HA-R9, originating from the wild sunflower species Helianthus annuus, is able to restore the widely used PET1 cytoplasmic male sterility in sunflowers. Previous mapping placed Rf5 at an interval of 5.8 cM on sunflower chromosome 13, distal to a rust resistance gene R at a 1.6 cM genetic distance in an SSR map. In the present study, publicly available SNP markers were further mapped around Rf5 and R using 192 F individuals, reducing the Rf5 interval from 5.8 to 0.8 cM. Additional SNP markers were developed in the target region of the two genes from the whole-genome resequencing of HA-R9, a donor line carrying Rf5 and R. Fine mapping using 3517 F individuals placed Rf5 at a 0.00071 cM interval and the gene co-segregated with SNP marker S13_216392091. Similarly, fine mapping performed using 8795 F individuals mapped R at an interval of 0.00210 cM, co-segregating with two SNP markers, S13_225290789 and C13_181790141. Sequence analysis identified Rf5 as a pentatricopeptide repeat-encoding gene. The high-density map and diagnostic SNP markers developed in this study will accelerate the use of Rf5 and R in sunflower breeding.

Identification of chromosomal abnormalities is an important issue in animal breeding and veterinary medicine. Routine cytogenetic diagnosis of domestic animals began in the 1960s with the aim of identifying carriers of centric fusion between chromosome 1 and 29 in cattle. In the 1970s, chromosome banding techniques were introduced, and in the 1980s, the first cytogenomic techniques, based on the development of locus- and chromosome-specific probes, were used.

In the fall of 2003, a two-year-old tiger named Ming, weighing some four hundred pounds, was discovered living in an apartment in Harlem, New York. Ming's rescue by NYPD was witnessed, recalled, and venerated by scores of neighbors. The tiger's history and ancestry stimulated considerable media interest, investigative sleuthing, and forensic genomic analyses.

Unlabelled: Clubroot, caused by , is a globally pervasive soil-borne disease that poses a significant challenge primarily in cruciferous crops. However, the scarcity of resistant materials and the intricate genetic mechanisms within cabbage present major obstacles to clubroot resistance (CR) breeding. In our previous research, we developed an Ogura CMS cabbage variety, "17CR3", which harbors the gene, crucial for CR.

Purpose: Hematological toxicities (HTs) in lung cancer (LCa) may compromise the delivery of Radio-Chemotherapy (RTCT), and consequently affect the control of the disease. The aim of this study is to evaluate the association of Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) with HT.
Material/methods: In this prospective multicentre study, 264 patients with primary LCa treated with RTCT between 2012 and 2018 were included.

Faba bean ( L.) is a valuable ingredient in plant-based foods such as meat and dairy analogues. However, its typical taste and aroma are considered off-flavours in these food applications, representing a bottleneck during processing.
