Cassava ( Crantz) is a staple crop in tropical and subtropical regions, valued for its high starch content in roots. Effective genetic transformation and genome editing of cassava require efficient screening methods for transgenic and edited plants. In this study, a visual selection marker system using an R2R3-MYB transcription factor anthocyanin 1 gene ( LOC110667474) from a rubber tree ( Müll. .) has been developed to facilitate the identification of transgenic cassava plants. Transgenic cassava lines expressing accumulated anthocyanins in their leaves, allowing for easy visual identification without the need for destructive assays or specialized equipment. Importantly, the accumulation of anthocyanins did not affect the regeneration or transformation efficiency of cassava. Additionally, the AR-CRISPR/Cas9-gRNA system with the gene as a marker produced gene-edited cassava mutants with purple leaves, demonstrating successful editing. This anthocyanin-based visual reporter (AR) system will provide an effective tool for genetic transformation and genome editing in cassava.

Tropical peatlands significantly influence local and global carbon and nitrogen cycles, yet they face growing pressure from anthropogenic activities. Land use changes, such as peatland forests conversion to oil palm plantations, affect the soil microbiome and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. However, the temporal dynamics of microbial community changes and their role as GHG indicators are not well understood.

The terminal exhaustion phenotypes of effector T-cells and the accumulation of myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSC) have been thoroughly characterized in established SCC. However, it is unclear what precancerous lesions harbor a bona fide high risk for malignant transformation and how precancerous epithelial dysplasia drives the immune system to the point of no return.

What morphologies are more likely to appear during evolution is a central question in zoology. Here we offer a novel approach to this question based on first developmental principles. We assumed that morphogenesis results from the genetic regulation of cell properties and behaviors (adhesion, contraction, etc.

Urban water systems receive and emit antimicrobial chemicals, resistant bacterial strains, and resistance genes (ARGs), thus representing "antimicrobial hotspots". Currently, regional environmental risk assessment (ERA) is carried out using drug consumption data and threshold concentrations derived based on chemical-specific minimum inhibitory concentration values. A legislative proposal by the European Commission released in 2022 addresses the need to include selected ARGs besides the chemical concentration-based ERAs.

Advances in three-dimensional (3D) genomics have revealed the spatial characteristics of chromatin interactions in gene expression regulation, which is crucial for understanding molecular mechanisms in biological processes. High-throughput technologies like ChIA-PET, Hi-C, and their derivatives methods have greatly enhanced our knowledge of 3D chromatin architecture. However, the chromatin interaction mechanisms remain largely unexplored.
