It primarily infects livestock such as cattle and sheep, as well as humans, causing significant economic losses to the livestock industry and posing a threat to human society. A more profound insight into the genetic diversity and evolutionary drivers of this species is essential for studying its virulence mechanisms and conducting anthrax surveillance and control. However, current research in this area is insufficient, particularly lacking population genomic studies based on multiple types of genetic variation. In this study, we collect and filter the genome sequences of 1,628 publicly available <i>B. anthracis</i> strains, and identify various types of variation in 1,347 high-quality sequences, including SNPs, indels, large fragment gains and losses, copy number variations (CNVs), and genome rearrangements. In total, we identify 26,635 SNPs, 9,997 indels, 21 large fragment gains and losses, 25 CNVs, and 5 inversions. Phylogenetic reconstruction reveals that this species can be divided into six major populations and 17 subgroups. By integrating population diversity and geographic distribution characteristics, we find that U.S. strains exhibit the highest genetic diversity, while African strains show significant geographic clustering. Additionally, through selection pressure analysis, we identify strong selection signals in four genes (<i>rpoB, fusA, spo0F</i>, <i>GBAA</i>_<i>RS11385</i>) related to drug resistance and sporulation. This study reconstructs the global population structure of <i>B. anthracis</i> and reveals key variations during the species' evolutionary process, providing targets for anthrax strain identification, tracing, and virulence mechanism research, as well as scientific support for the prevention and control of anthrax outbreaks.</p>","PeriodicalId":35536,"journal":{"name":"遗传","volume":"47 6","pages":"681-693"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144318183","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this study, a rapid detection method based on recombinase polymerase amplification (RPA) was proposed to overcome the shortcomings of on-site rapid detection of transgenic maize and soybean. Representative transgenic maize (Shuang Kang 12-5, DBN9936, MON810) and soybean (DBN9004, GTS40-3-2, SHZD32-1) were selected as test objects. According to their flanking sequence, specific primers and probes were designed and screened, and a RPA amplification system with high specificity and sensitivity of 20 copies for each transgenic event was established. In order to quickly obtain DNA, seed samples use nucleic acid release agents to obtain templates that can be used for RPA amplification. In order to eliminate the interference of chlorophyll in leaves on RPA fluorescence signal and quickly obtain DNA, leaf samples use the nucleic acid rapid integrated extraction device developed by our laboratory to quickly obtain DNA and eliminate the chlorophyll interference. Combined with a portable metal bath for initiating RPA amplification, a blue light gel cutter for visual detection, and a rapid on-site detection method for transgenic maize and soybean was constructed. The entire detection process required approximately 20 minutes, and the detection result was consistent with the result of conventional PCR.

In this study, our field survey in Yunnan, China, identified potato virus Y (PVY) RB isolates, as well as the prevalence of tobacco vein banding mosaic virus (TVBMV) and chilli veinal mottle virus (ChiVMV), in tobacco carrying the recessive <i>va</i> locus, which lacks the <i>eIF4E1-S</i> susceptibility gene, due to a chromosomal deletion. Protein interaction and viral infection assays demonstrated that both eIF4E1-S and eIFiso4E-T are used by PVY RB as susceptibility factors for infection, with the combined inactivation of these genes confering durable resistance. Similarly, the knockout of <i>eIFiso4E-S,</i> in the <i>va</i> genetic background, provided effective resistance to TVBMV and reduced susceptibility to ChiVMV. Notably, pyramiding mutations in <i>eIFiso4E-S</i> and <i>eIFiso4E-T</i>, in <i>va</i> tobacco, generated plants exhibiting robust, broad-spectrum resistance, to all three viruses, without compromising plant development. These findings underscore the potential of stacking eIF4E mutations to engineer durable, broad-spectrum resistance to potyviruses in tobacco, offering a promising strategy for crop improvement.</p><p><strong>Supplementary information: </strong>The online version contains supplementary material available at 10.1007/s42994-025-00216-5.</p>","PeriodicalId":53135,"journal":{"name":"aBIOTECH","volume":"6 2","pages":"232-248"},"PeriodicalIF":4.6,"publicationDate":"2025-05-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12238429/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144610306","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
