Background: Chilli is an important commercial crop with positive returns tendency. Phytophthora root rot causes drastic damage to chilli plant. Dearth of detecting marker trait associations is a major hinderance in practicing marker assisted selection in chilli breeding.
Methods And Results: Herein, 110 chilli accessions were assessed for 15 agronomic traits under control and disease infected conditions for two crop seasons (2018-2019). The SSR genotyping revealed high values of major allele frequency (MAF = 0.70), genetic diversity (GD = 0.39) and Polymorphic Information Content (PIC = 0.31). Principal coordinate analysis and population structure analysis showed distribution of diverse genotypes in all groups by dividing 110 genotypes in three populations and nine sub-populations. The UPGMA based Archaeopteryx tree was in concordance with population structure analysis. Linkage disequilibrium analysis evaluated that LD decays within 3-10 bp. Marker trait association (MTA) revealed the associations of 35 SSRs with 14 morphological traits. The significant MTA for marker CAeMS073 with relative leaf damage (RLD, 0.183 R) under control and treated conditions was consistently observed in both models. The markers, CAMS173 and CAMS194 were found to be strongly associated with RLD and Disease Index (DI), respectively. The absence of MTA was detected for height of first branch.
Conclusion: The MTAs reported in this study can facilitate marker assisted breeding for developing chilli germplasm resistant against Phytophthora capsici.

Early leaf spot (ELS), caused by (syn. ), is a highly damaging peanut disease worldwide. While there are limited sources of resistance in cultivated peanut cultivars, wild relatives carry alleles for strong resistance, making them a valuable strategic resource for peanut improvement.

Animal personalities are stable, context-dependent behavioral differences. Associations between the personality of birds and polymorphisms in the dopamine receptor D4 (DRD4) gene have been repeatedly observed. In mammals, our understanding of the role of the dopamine (DA) system in higher cognitive functions and psychiatric disorders is improving, and we are beginning to understand the relationship between the neural circuits modulating the DA system and personality traits.

Soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merrill] is one of the most widely grown legumes in the world, with Brazil being its largest producer and exporter. Breeding programs in Brazil have resulted from multiple cycles of selection and recombination starting from a small number of USA cultivar ancestors in the 1950s and 1960s years.

Pulmovermis cyanovitellosus Coil and Kuntz, 1960 is a species of hemiurid trematode that localizes in the lung of sea snakes, an unusual trait for this group of parasites. Recent molecular phylogenetic studies based on 28S rRNA gene sequences have shown that this species is closely related to members of the genus Lecithochirium Lühe, 1901. This finding is unexpected given that Pulmovermis Coil and Kuntz, 1960 and Lecithochirium are currently classified in different subfamilies of Hemiuridae (Pulmoverminae Sandars, 1961 vs.

Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-related hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (EBV-HLH) and infectious mononucleosis (IM) are characterized by fever, hepatomegaly, and splenomegaly, but HLH has a 50% lethality rate. Therefore, this study aimed to compare the laboratory findings in differentiating EBV-HLH children from IM children who have fever, hepatomegaly, or splenomegaly. A total of 131 IM patients and 29 EBV-HLH pediatric patients with fever, hepatomegaly, or splenomegaly were enrolled in our study.
