AI Article Synopsis

  • - Polydactyly refers to having an extra finger or toe from birth and can occur alone or as part of a syndrome.
  • - Treatment options vary from conservative approaches to surgery based on how the extra digit may affect function.
  • - The report discusses a case of a bifid 5th digit, aiming to present a new variant that may refine current classifications and enhance patient care.

Article Abstract

Polydactyly is defined as an extra finger or toe that is present at birth. It is a congenital anomaly that can manifest as a single disorder or as a component of a syndrome. Treatment can be conservative or operative depending on the anticipated function of the extra digit. In this report, we describe a case of a bifid 5th digit on the right hand. The aim of this report was to report a new variant of type IIIB described by Duran (2015). This will possibly lead to the modification of the current classifications, which will improve the diagnosis and treatment of patients.

Phytochrome-interacting factors (PIFs) play a crucial role in regulating plant growth and development. However, studies on soybean PIFs are limited. Here, we identified 22 GmPIF genes from the soybean genome and classified the GmPIF proteins into 13 subfamilies based on amino acid sequence homology, secondary and tertiary structures, protein structure, and conserved motifs.

Identification and functional characterization of the C2H2 ZFP transcription factor CmSUP7 in regulating melon plant growth and fruit development.

The SUPERMAN (SUP) proteins, which belong to the single C2H2 zinc finger proteins (ZFP) subclass, participate in various aspects of gene regulation in plant morphogenesis and stress response, but their role in melon (Cucumis melo) is still largely unknown. We identified a total of 28 CmSUP genes in the melon genome, all containing QALGGH conserved domain. Collinearity analysis showed that melon had several homologous gene pairs with Arabidopsis and tomato, indicating the gene duplication events during the evolution.

Background: Zinc finger homeodomain (ZF-HD) belongs to the plant-specific transcription factor (TF) family and is widely involved in plant growth, development and stress responses. Despite their importance, a comprehensive identification and analysis of ZF-HD genes in the soybean (Glycine max) genome and their possible roles under abiotic stress remain unexplored.

Results: In this study, 51 ZF-HD genes were identified in the soybean genome that were unevenly distributed on 17 chromosomes.
