Abstract Among oilseeds crops, Brassica napus L., is of great importance globally. The economic yield and harvest efficiency are significantly limited by seed shattering, which represents a persistent agronomic constrain...

Cytokinesis is the process by which mitotic cells physically split in two following chromosome segregation. Dividing animal cells first ingress a cytokinetic furrow and then separate the plasma membrane by abscission. Th...

Abstract A key factor contributing to the success of Darwin and Wallace’s theory of biological evolution by natural selection was its population-level perspective. This conceptual framework was not immediately adopted,...

Toxocara alienata infects racoons and wild pigs in South America and its taxonomy is important to distinguish thespecies from closely related zoonotic congeners, such as T. canis. This study provides the first genetic ch...

Abstract Background Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is a critical and fatal cardiovascular condition. The role of cuproptosis as an emerging mechanism in the pathogenesis of AMI remains to be fully elucidated. Methods ...

Abstract Digitalis purpurea (foxglove) is a widely distributed ornamental plant. Here, we present a long read sequencing-based genome sequence of a magenta flowering D. purpurea plant and a corresponding prediction of ge...

Abstract Background Witches’ broom is an important disease of the Paulownia fortunei. Understanding the pathogenesis of witches’ broom is a prerequisite for its prevention and control. Phytoplasma is the pathogen of ...

Abstract Deoxynivalenol (DON), a prevalent Fusarium mycotoxin, poses a significant threat to intestinal health in piglets. This study established a deoxynivalenol (DON) intoxication model in piglets, revealing compromise...

Our past, present, and future are governed by the grand design of the genetic blueprint, which was mapped more than two decades back. While the eloquent design of our genome results from millions of years of evolution a...

The choice of sampling method is essential in the development of a population genetic study. This choice influences the type of samples that can be obtained and, therefore, the quality of the extracted DNA. Sampling meth...

Together with the environment, genetic factors can significantly influence sleep and its architecture. Monozygotic twins have greater similarity in terms of latency and duration of sleep cycles than dizygotic twins, in a...

Argentine populations of Dichroplus elongatus (Orthoptera: Acrididae) are polymorphic for B chromosomes. Previous studies showed that B chromosomes affect body size and some fitness components in Northwestern populations...

Dichroplus elongatus is an extensively distributed South American grasshopper considered a pest of major crops. Argentinean populations show a widespread B-chromosome polymorphism which could be maintained as the result ...

The rhizosphere is one of the most dynamic biological environments on Earth. Within this narrow zone surrounding plant roots, plants interact constantly with diverse communities of microorganisms including bacteria, fung...

Abstract Background and objectives Squamous cell carcinoma antigen recognized by T-cells 3 (SART3) has emerged as a promising target for cancer immunotherapy, given its overexpression in various malignancies and low or a...

Abstract Background Tenacious glume a key trait limiting threshing efficiency in synthetic hexaploid wheat (SHW), represents an ancestral defense mechanism inherited from wild progenitors. Despite its evolutionary import...

Abstract Polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) are important nutrients that play critical roles in sea urchin reproduction and early development. Strongylocentrotus intermedius, the only commercially cultured sea urchin sp...

Abstract Medicinal leeches are rich in various antithrombotic components, holding significant pharmaceutical value. To investigate the differences in potential antithrombotic capacity among species, this study utilized t...

Abstract Background The floral transition in maize represents a pivotal developmental switch that determines flowering time, environmental adaptation, and yield-related traits. However, the molecular mechanisms governing...

Abstract Background Chromatin condensation, accompanied by pronounced nuclear shrinkage, is a pivotal step in terminal erythroid differentiation and is essential for enucleation. However, the precise timing and molecular...

Abstract Background Hyperosmotic shock and the resulting cell volume compression are commonly experienced by organs such as the kidneys, causing rapid formation of hyperosmotic phase separation (HOPS) condensates in the ...

Abstract Background Dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) is a leading cause of heart failure, often resulting in reduced ejection fraction and progressive cardiac dysfunction. Although up to half of idiopathic DCM can be linked ...

Abstract Background The lone star tick, Amblyomma americanum, is a three-host species widely distributed across North America and a vector for multiple human pathogens. Bites from this tick is also associated with alpha-...

Abstract Background Zanthoxylum armatum is a vital economic crop in China, but its cultivation is challenged by abiotic stresses like drought and cold. Mitogen-activated protein kinase kinases (MAPKKs) are central signal...
