Published: December 2024

Background: In kenaf (Hibiscus cannabinus L.) which is an important natural fiber crop, the first flower node is closely linked to fiber yield. However, the genetic mechanisms controlling the first flower node remain poorly understood.

Results: In this study, we constructed a high-density genetic linkage map using Restriction-site associated DNA sequencing (RAD-seq) technology based on 148 individual hybrid kenaf progeny. The map contained 3418 bin markers unevenly on 18 linkage groups and spanned a total of 864.607 cM with an average distance of 0.253 cM. Based on the genetic map, two major QTLs, FFN6.1 and FFN6.2, were detected on LG6 and were strongly associated with the first flower node. Based on annotation information in the GO, KEGG and NR public databases, 373 candidate genes were predicted in the FFN6.1 and FFN6.2 regions. Finally, using RT-qPCR, three genes related to the first flower node were identified.

Conclusion: The study provides a good foundation for understanding the molecular mechanisms of the first flower node trait in kenaf.

Honey bees are exposed to a diverse variety of microbes in the environment. Many studies have been carried out on the microbiome of bee gut, beebread, and flower pollen. However, little is known regarding the microbiome of fresh corbicular pollen, which can directly reflect microbes acquired from the environment.

This study focused on cucumbers' multi-pistillate flower (MPF) trait, which is essential for high yields. A genetic linkage map was constructed using a population of 219 F plants to analyze quantitative trait loci (QTL) associated with MPF traits. Crossbreeding of EWSCU-809 (MPF) with EWSCU-989 (single pistillate flower: SPF) generated an F hybrid that self-pollinated to form an F population.

Eosinophilic cellulitis, also known as Wells syndrome, presents a wide range of morphological spectrum, from pruritic erythematous papules, nodules, and pustules to urticarial and bullous lesions. This is a rare dermatological condition and is known to develop after treatment of hematological malignancy. Here, we report a case of Wells syndrome that was the initial presentation of lymphoma, preceding all other symptoms by six months.
