was demonstrated as the dominant species among spp. that infected rubber tree, areca palm, and coffee in Hainan, China. However, the extent of genetic differentiation within the species in relation to geographical regions and host species is not known. In this study, 112 isolates were genotyped with 12 microsatellite markers. In total, there were 99 multilocus genotypes. Results from permutational multivariate analysis of variance and analysis of molecular variance indicated that there was no significant genetic differentiation between fungal populations with respect to host, location (county), and year. Discriminant analysis of principal components and STRUCTURE analysis showed that isolates grouped into three clusters; further analysis confirmed that there were significant ( < 0.001) genetic differences among the three clusters. However, each cluster had isolates from different hosts, counties, or years, supporting the lack of genetic differentiation with respect to host, county, and year. Statistical analyses of allelic associations indicated some evidence for recombination within the populations defined on the basis of host or county. The present findings provide insights into the genetic structure of on the three perennial host species in Hainan and suggest that the disease on these three crops can be effectively considered as one disease and, hence, needs to be controlled simultaneously in mixed plantations.

Introduction: , a genus within the Zingiberales order, is renowned for its diverse morphology, suggesting a rich genetic reservoir. However, genetic research on plants within the family has primarily focused on taxonomy and phylogenetics, with limited exploration into other genetic aspects, particularly the chloroplast genome. Given the significance of chloroplast genomes in evolutionary studies, a deeper understanding of their structure and diversity within Heliconia is essential.

Insular species are usually endemic and prone to long-term population reduction, low genetic diversity, and inbreeding depression, which results in difficulties in species conservation. The situation is even more challenging for the glacial relict species whose habitats are usually fragmented in the mountainous regions. is an endangered and endemic relict tree species in Taiwan.

Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are taken up by most cells, however specific or preferential cell targeting remains a hurdle. This study aims to develop an EV that targets cells involved in inflammation, specifically those expressing intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1). To target these cells, we overexpress the ICAM-1 binding receptor "lymphocyte function-associated antigen-1" (LFA-1) in HEK293F cells, by sequential transfection of plasmids of the two LFA-1 subunits, ITGAL and ITGB2 (CD11a and CD18).

Background: The Japanese eel (Anguilla japonica) holds significant economic value in East Asia, but limitations in understanding its reproductive biology have hindered advancements in artificial breeding techniques. Previous research has primarily focused on conserved sex differentiation genes, offering limited insights into the broader molecular mechanisms driving gonadal development and sexual dimorphism. To address these limitations, this study aims to investigate key genes and pathways involved in gonadal development through a comprehensive transcriptomic analysis of male and female eel gonads.

Investigating plasma proteomic signatures of dementia offers insights into its pathology, aids biomarker discovery, supports disease monitoring, and informs drug development. Here, we analyzed data from 48,367 UK Biobank participants with proteomic profiling. Using Cox and generalized linear models, we examined the longitudinal associations between proteomic signatures and dementia-related phenotypes.
