This study aimed to evaluate the genetic structure and diversity among 25 wild-collected hops from three Canadian Maritime provinces using microsatellite (simple sequence repeat (SSR)) markers. Based on 43 SSR markers, four distinct subgroups were found, with a low molecular variance (19%) between subgroups and a high variance (81%) within subgroups. The Nei's unbiased genetic distance between clusters ranged from 0.01 to 0.08, the genetic distance between clusters 2 and 3 being the farthest and that between clusters 1 and 2 the closest. Cluster 2 captured the highest overall diversity. A total of 18 SSR markers clearly discriminated hop clones by detecting putative subspecies-specific haplotypes, differentiating clones of native-wild H. lupulus ssp. lupuloides from the naturalized old and modern hop cultivars. Seven of the 18 SSR markers also differentiated two clones from the same site from one another. The study is the first, using molecular markers, to identify SSR markers with potential for intellectual property protection in Canadian Maritimes hops. The SSR markers herein used can be prime tools for hop breeders and growers in the region.","PeriodicalId":12809,"journal":{"name":"Genome","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2024-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41139899","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, few studies have focused on clarifying relationships between epigenetic influences of TEs on the adjacent DNA regions and time after insertion of TEs into the genome and/or their chromosomal location. Here we addressed these issues using soybean retrotransposon SORE-1. We analyzed SORE-1, inserted in exon 1 of the GmphyA2 gene, one of the newest insertions in this family so far identified. Cytosine methylation was detected in this element but was barely present in the adjacent regions. These results were correlated, respectively, with the presence and absence of the production of short interfering RNAs. Cytosine methylation profiles of 74 SORE-1 elements in the Williams 82 reference genome indicated that methylation frequency in the adjacent regions of SORE-1 was profoundly higher in pericentromeric regions than in euchromatic chromosome arms and was only weakly correlated with the length of time after insertion into the genome. Notably, the higher level of methylation in the 5' adjacent regions of SORE-1 coincided with the presence of repetitive elements in pericentromeric regions. Together, these results suggest that epigenetic influence of SORE-1 on the adjacent regions is influenced by its location on the chromosome.","PeriodicalId":12809,"journal":{"name":"Genome","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2024-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41117856","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, as one of the main enzymes to produce the second messenger hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), its functions in response to pathogens are still poorly understood. In this study, we carried out genome-wide identification, and 14 GOX genes were identified in Gossypium hirsutum. These GOX genes are located on 10 chromosomes and divided into hydroxyacid-oxidases (HAOX) and GOX groups. After infection with Verticillium dahliae Kleb., six GOX gene expression levels were changed. Moreover, H2O2, salicylic acid (SA), and the content and activity of GOX increased in cotton. GhHAOX2-D-silenced plants showed more wilting than control plants after infection with V. dahliae. Additionally, H2O2 accumulation and SA content were reduced in GhHAOX2-D-silenced plants. The expression levels of GhPAL, GhPAD4, and GhPR1 and the lignin content of the silenced plants were significantly lower than those of the control plants. These results indicate that GhHAOX2-D is a positive regulator of Verticillium wilt tolerance in cotton and may promote H2O2 accumulation via the synergistic effects of GOX genes and SA. Collectively, GOX genes play an important role in cotton resistance to Verticillium wilt.","PeriodicalId":12809,"journal":{"name":"Genome","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2023-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"10101225","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The most common sources of isolation were food (44.28%), environment (27.41%), animal-related (24.83%), and human (3.48%). The most prevalent serovars were Newport (8.51%), Oranienburg (7.03%), Anatum (5.78%), Typhimurium (5.12%), and Infantis (4.57%). As determined by the 7-gene MLST scheme, the most frequent sequence types were ST23, ST64, and ST32.

A total of 78 different AMR genes belonging to 13 antimicrobial classes were detected in 638 genomic assemblies of S. enterica. The most frequent class was aminoglycosides (31.76%), followed by tetracyclines (12.53%) and sulfonamides (11.91%). These results can help public health agencies in Mexico prioritize their efforts and resources to increase the genomic sequencing of circulating Salmonella strains.

These mutations will be passed on through the germ plasm and also may be expressed somatically. Half-chromatid mutation has been suggested to account for the observed lower frequency of males than expected for lethal X-linked recessive disorders in humans, such as Lesch-Nyhan syndrome, incontinentia pigmenti, and Duchene muscular dystrophy. Although attention has been paid to half-chromatid mutation in humans, it otherwise has been ignored. Here I show that half-chromatid mutation in haplodiploid organisms, such as Hymenoptera, has some interesting and important consequences: (i) since all genes follow the X-linked pattern of inheritance, half-chromatid mutations should be relatively easier to detect; (ii) recessive mutations of all viabilities may be expected; (iii) mosaics of both sexes are expected in haplodiploids with half-chromatid mutation; (iv) gynandromorphs could result from half-chromatid mutation at the sex-determination locus, in species with single-locus complementary sex-determination. Finally, half-chromatid mutation can account for the rare fertile male tortoiseshell phenotype observed in the domestic cat, Felis catus, and which still has not been fully accounted for by other mechanisms.","PeriodicalId":12809,"journal":{"name":"Genome","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2023-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"10385581","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Two satellite DNA sequences were identified (CDR-1 and CDR-2), characterized and mapped in silico in three Capsicum genomes (C. annuum, C. chinense, and C. baccatum) using data from the published high-coverage sequencing and repeats finding bioinformatic tools. Localization using FISH in the chromosomes of these species and in two others (C. frutescens and C. chacoense), totaling five species, showed signals adjacent to the rDNA sites. A sequence comparison with existing Solanaceae repeats showed that CDR-1 and CDR-2 have different origins but without homology to rDNA sequences. Satellites occupied subterminal chromosomal regions, sometimes collocated with or adjacent to 35S rDNA sequences. Our results expand knowledge about the diversity of subterminal regions of Capsicum chromosomes, showing different amounts and distributions within and between karyotypes.

We analyzed RNA-seq data from ischemia-reperfusion mouse models and the control group from the GSE130217 data set using Splicing Site Usage Variation Analysis software. We identified 28 regulated alternative splicing events (RASEs) and 47 differentially expressed RBP (DE-RBP) genes in MIRI. Most variable splicing events were involved in cassette exon, alternative 5' splice, alternative 3' splice, and retained intron types. Gene Ontology and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes (KOBAS 2.0 server) and Genomes pathway enrichment analyses showed that the differentially expressed variable splicing and RBP genes were mainly enriched in pathways related to myocardial function. The RBP-RASE network demonstrated a common variance relationship between DE-RBPs and RASEs, indicating that RBPs regulate variable shear events in MIRI. This study systematically identified important alterations in RASEs and RBPs in MIRI, expanding our understanding of the underlying pathogenesis of MIRI.","PeriodicalId":12809,"journal":{"name":"Genome","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2023-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"9834768","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We tested the assay in silico and in vitro using DNA of blue racers and co-occurring snake species and estimated the LOD and LOQ using synthetic DNA. As wild turkey predation has been suggested to negatively affect racers, we tested the assay on eight wild turkey faecal samples. Our assay is specific, can detect the target species at very low levels of concentration (0.002 copies/µL), and can accurately quantify copy numbers ≥ 0.26 copies/µL. We detected no racer DNA in any wild turkey faecal sample. More faecal samples collected at strategic locations during snake peak activity on Pelee Island would enable a more thorough assessment of the possibility of turkey predation. Our assay should be effective for other environmental samples and can be used for investigating other factors negatively affecting blue racers, for example, helping to quantify blue racer habitat suitability and site occupancy.","PeriodicalId":12809,"journal":{"name":"Genome","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2023-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"10139605","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
