Understanding its genetic mechanism is key to improving grain quality and ultimate yield. An experiment with 26 doubled haploid (DH) lines of maize was conducted in the northern part of the Lower Silesia Province in Poland over a ten-year period (2013-2022). The study assessed resistance to Fusarium stalk rot. The objectives were to evaluate genotype-year interactions for resistance to Fusarium stalk rot in maize DH lines using the additive main effects and multiplicative interaction (AMMI) model, to select DH lines that are stable across all years of testing and specific to particular environmental conditions, and to estimate additive and epistatic effects. AMMI results demonstrated a significant effect of genotype, year, and their interaction on Fusarium stalk rot resistance. The KN16 line is recommended for inclusion in further research within the breeding program due to its excellent stability and high average resistance to Fusarium stalk rot. Estimates of additive gene action effects were statistically significant in each year of the study. Estimates of epistasis (total additive by additive interaction) effects for Fusarium stalk rot resistance were also statistically significant in all ten years of the study. Only in 2013 was the epistasis effect positive (0.168). These results indicate that achieving biological advances in resistance to Fusarium stalk rot should be an important focus of ongoing maize breeding programs.</p>","PeriodicalId":14891,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Applied Genetics","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2025-01-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142978576","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}

Here we propose an oligogenic risk score of TDs using whole-genome sequencing (WGS) data from a group of Polish GTS patients, their families, and control samples (n = 278). In this study, we first reviewed the literature to obtain a preliminary list of 84 GTS/TD candidate genes. From this list, 10 final risk score genes were selected based on single-gene burden tests (SKAT p < 0.05) between unrelated GTS cases (n = 37) and synthetic control samples based on a database of local allele frequencies. These 10 genes were CHADL, DRD2, MAOA, PCDH10, HTR2A, SLITRK5, SORCS3, KCNQ5, CDH9, and CHD8. Variants in and in the vicinity (± 20 kbp) of the ten risk genes (n = 7654) with a median minor allele frequency in the non-Finnish European population of 0.02 were integrated into an additive classifier. This risk score was then applied to healthy and GTS-affected individuals from 23 families and 100 unrelated healthy samples from the Polish population (AUC-ROC = 0.62, p = 0.02). Application of the algorithm to a group of patients with other tic disorders revealed a continuous increase of the oligogenic score with healthy individuals with the lowest mean, then patients with other tic disorders, then GTS patients, and finally with severe GTS cases with the highest oligogenic score. We have further compared our WGS results with the summary statistics of the Psychiatric Genomics Consortium genome-wide association study (PGC GWAS) of TDs and found no signal overlap except for the CHADL gene locus. Polygenic risk scores from common variants of GTS GWAS show no difference between patient and control groups, except for the comparison between patients with non-GTS TDs and patients with severe GTS. Overall, we leveraged WGS data to construct a GTS/TD risk score based on variants that may cooperatively contribute to the aetiology of these disorders.

The aim of this work was to identify quantitative trait loci (QTLs) for in vitro plant regeneration from cucumber leaf microexplants. Plant regeneration was evaluated using a population of recombinant inbred lines (RILs) developed from a cross between line B10, characterized by high regeneration efficiency, and the low regeneration efficiency line Gy14. All RILs were scored for frequency of callus formation, organogenesis, and shoot regeneration. RILs with regeneration efficiencies higher than that of line B10 have been observed. QTLs for the frequency of organogenesis and shoot regeneration were identified. All the QTLs were mapped on cucumber chromosome 6, explaining 11.9 to 20% of the phenotypic variance. The major-effect QTL for organogenesis or6.1 was located on the upper arm of chromosome 6. The QTLs for shoot regeneration frequency, sr6.1A and sr6.1B, were located on the lower arm of chromosome 6. Analysis of the genomic region corresponding to these QTLs combined with gene expression profiling revealed that CsARF6 and CsWOX9 are gene candidates underlying these QTLs.

The expression of MICAL2 in pan-cancer was investigated using public database, and the expression of MICAL2 in PAAD was validated using tissue samples. The diagnostic and prognostic significance of MICAL2 in PAAD was assessed through the application of ROC curves and Kaplan-Meier curves. The correlation between MICAL2 and infiltrating immune cells and immune checkpoints in PAAD was researched using the TIMER and TCGA databases. In vitro studies involved the evaluation of the biological functions of MICAL2 in human PAAD cells through the knockdown of MICAL2 expression using shRNA. Compared to corresponding normal tissues, the expression of MICAL2 exhibits significant differences in various cancers. Specifically, the level of MICAL2 expression is significantly increased in PAAD. Moreover, MICAL2 demonstrates considerable diagnostic potential in PAAD patients, and its elevated expression is indicative of an unfavorable prognosis. The differential expression of MICAL2 is related to infiltrating immune cells, immune cell markers, and immune checkpoints in PAAD. In ASPC-1 and PANC-1 cells, when MICAL2 was knocked down, there was a notable suppression of proliferation, migration, and invasion. MICAL2 functions as a significant predictor and promising immunotherapeutic target for prognosis assessment in PAAD.
