Tuber shape is one of the most important traits for potato breeding. Since poor or irregular shape increases the difficulty of handling and processing, researching the inheritance of potato tuber shape for potato breeding is highly important. To efficiently identify QTL for tuber shape, a diploid potato population (PM7) was generated by self-pollinated M6 (). A QTL TScha6 for tuber shape was identified by the QTL-seq approach at 50.91-59.93 Mb on chromosome 6 in the potato DM reference genome. To confirm TScha6, four SSR and twenty CAPS markers around the QTL were developed and the TScha6 was narrowed down to an interval of ~ 1.85 Mb. The CAPS marker C6-58.27_665 linked to TScha6 was then used to screen 86 potato cultivars and advanced breeding lines. The tuber length/width (LW) ratio was significantly correlated with the presence/absence of C6-58.27_665, and the correlation coefficient was = 0.55 (p < 0.01). These results showed that C6-58.27_665 could be applied in marker-assisted selection (MAS) for tuber shape breeding in the future. Our research sets the important stage for the future cloning of the tuber shape gene and utilities of the marker in the breeding program.

Molecular-based detection of pathogens from potato tubers hold promise, but the initial sample extraction process is labor-intensive. Developing a robotic tuber sampling system, equipped with a fast and precise machine vision technique to identify optimal sampling locations on a potato tuber, offers a viable solution. However, detecting sampling locations such as eyes and stolon scar is challenging due to variability in their appearance, size, and shape, along with soil adhering to the tubers.

The molecular mechanisms underpinning the formation of the large, ellipsoidal starch granules of potato tuber are poorly understood. Here, we demonstrate the distinct effects of PROTEIN TARGETING TO STARCH2b (PTST2b) and MYOSIN RESEMBLING CHLOROPLAST PROTEIN (MRC) on tuber starch granule morphology. A gene duplication event in the Solanaceae resulted in two PTST2 paralogs (PTST2a and PTST2b).

Fossils of embryonic and hatchling individuals can provide invaluable insight into the evolution of prenatal morphologies, heterochronies, and allometric trajectories within Archosauria but are exceptionally rare in the Triassic fossil record, obscuring a critical aspect of archosaurian biology during their evolutionary origins. Microvertebrate sampling at a single bonebed in the Upper Triassic Chinle Formation within Petrified Forest National Park has yielded diminutive archosauriform femora (PEFO 45274, PEFO 45199) with estimated and measured femoral lengths of ~31 mm and ~ 37 mm, respectively. These new specimens provide the unique opportunity to assess the preservation, body size, and growth dynamics of skeletally immature archosauriforms in North America and compare the growth dynamics of archosauromorphs within an evolutionary and ontogenetic context.

Aberrant adult hippocampal neurogenesis is implicated in neurological and mood disorders associated with dysregulation of the mechanistic target of rapamycin (mTOR). Understanding how the mTOR pathway shapes the functional development of different subpopulations of adult-born hippocampal neural stem cells will enable insight into potential therapeutic pathways for these disorders. Here we study how loss of TSC2, a regulator of mTOR pathway and a causal gene for tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC), affects dentate gyrus granule cell morphogenesis and hippocampal-dependent function.

Background: Tuberous breast (TB) is a congenital anomaly characterised by morphological, structural and breast region alterations. The pectoralis major muscle (PMM) is crucial for correction when using breast implants, alterations at this level have received little attention in the literature.
Objectives: This study aims to define the anatomical characteristics of the PMM in TB patients using radiomic data extracted from MRI sequences.
