Here, a few complete mitogenomes of red algae have been reported. We have reported the complete mitogenome sequences of Grateloupia cornea Okamura, 1913 (Rhodophyta, Halymeniales). The genome is 30,595 bp in circumference, and has a strongly biased [AT] = 66.9%. Like most other Grateloupia species, it has a group II intron in the cox1 gene. Maximum likelihood and maximum parsimony analyses showed that G. cornea is more closely related to G. asiatica. This shows that the group II intron in the cox1 ORF present in most species of Grateloupia was present in their common ancestor, and uniquely lost in G. asiatica. The seven Grateloupia species with known mitogenome sequences remain monophyletic, with the genus Polyopes as sister taxon. The complete mitochondrial genome data will be valuable for future research on comparative mitochondrial genome analysis, an extensive understanding of gene content and organization, evolution of the cox1 intron in Rhodophyta as well as phylogenetic analysis.","PeriodicalId":15907,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Genetics","volume":"29 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2024-05-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141061738","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study examined mutant rice strains expressing three traits: spotted leaf 6 (spl6), lax panicle (lax), and liguleless (lg). In the mutant, the spl6 phenotype was a genetically programmed lesion-mimicking mutation (LMM) that displayed spontaneously scattered spots across the leaf surface. In the lg trait, the plant lacked a collar region, and there were no auricles and ligules at the junction of the leaf blade and leaf sheath. The lax panicle trait manifested as sparely arranged spikelets resulting from the terminal spikelet with no lateral spikelets, which caused a drastic reduction of the total seed number in the mutant. All three mutant genes were genetically recessive and had nuclear gene regulation. The dihybrid segregation of the lg gene was classified independently according to the Mendelian 9:3:3:1 dihybrid segregation ratio in the F2 generation, suggesting that the lg gene is not linked to the same chromosome as the lax and spl6 genes. On the other hand, spl6 and lax were not assorted independently, indicating that they are closely linked on chromosome 1 in rice. Additional linkage analysis from the recombination of spl6 and lax genes reconfirmed that the two genes were ~9.4 cM away from each other. The individual single-gene mutant plant from one plant with a three-gene mutation (spl6, lax, and lg) was isolated and characterized, which will be a crucial resource for the gene cloning and molecular characterization of these genes.","PeriodicalId":15907,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Genetics","volume":"12 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2024-04-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140608763","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Clark points to a sustained persistence of social status in England that extends vertically across several generations and horizontally across many levels of kinship. We seek to put his findings in historical perspective. We do so by relating them to two lines of thinking related to biological inheritance. One predated the rediscovery of Mendel’s work and led to the field of quantitative genetics, which dealt on the whole with quasi-continuously varying traits. The other is based on the rediscovery itself and led to a reconciliation between quantitative genetics and discrete Mendelian elements of heredity. Both were enmeshed with the supposed need for, and societal consequences of, eugenics and assortative mating. Also on both issues, the significant ideas can be traced to R. A. Fisher, inspired in one case by F. Galton and in the other by J. A. Cobb, with strong support for Galton and Cobb coming from Karl Pearson. Clark’s findings point to societal stratification, and assortative mating for wealth is a straightforward hypothesis to account for it. However, it should be noted that the findings support, but do not prove, the hypothesis.","PeriodicalId":15907,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Genetics","volume":"2 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2024-04-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140563334","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Currently, only 11 patients from four families have been reported to carry FRMPD4 gene variants. Here, we report a rare case of a Chinese patient with XLID104 who was presented with severe ID and language impairment. Genetic testing results showed that the patient had a novel hemizygous variant on FRMPD4 inherited from the heterozygous variant NM_001368397: c.1772A>C (p.Glu591Ala) carried by his mother. To our knowledge, this variant has not been reported previously. Western blot results for the recombinant plasmid constructed in vitro indicated that the expression of the mutant protein may be reduced. Using molecular dynamics simulations, we predicted that the mutant protein may affect the interaction of the FRMPD4 protein with DLG4. In this study, we expand the spectrum of FRMPD4 variants and suggest that the clinical awareness of the genetic diagnosis of nonsyndromic ID should be strengthened.","PeriodicalId":15907,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Genetics","volume":"21 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2024-03-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140033232","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Notably, the results of the present mutational analysis showed that both markers confirmed a different mutation in indica rice cultivars than earlier reported japonica accessions. It was found that there is 250-bp deletion in the promoter region of aromatic Kagesali and Kalakrishna as compared to nonaromatic Kolamb. The results of FMbadh2-E7 showed 8-bp deletion and six SNPs in exon 7 of the Kalakrishna cultivar. Interestingly, the nonbasmati aromatic Lalbhat rice cultivar did not harbour any reported mutation and showed a novel BADH2 allele carrying 1-bp deletion in exon 7. Among the selected aromatic rice cultivars, eight cultivars showed mutation in the 5′ UTR region and interestingly 23 rice cultivars carried the mutation in both 5′ UTR and exon 7 of a BADH2 gene.

Interindividual genomic differences is hypothesized to be a determinant of the variability in response. We studied the antibody response of ~1000 recipients of the Vi-polysaccharide typhoid vaccine from Kolkata, India, who showed considerable variability of antibody response, i.e., anti-Vi-polysaccharide antibody level 28 days postvaccination relative to prevaccination. For each vaccinee, whole-genome genotyping was performed using the Infinium Global Screening Array (Illumina). We identified 39 SNPs that mapped to 13 chromosomal regions to be associated with antibody response to the vaccine; these included SNPs on genes LRRC28 (15q26.3), RGS7 (1q43), PTPRD (9p23), CERKL (2q31.3), DGKB (7p21.2), and TCF4 (18q21.2).

However, the isolation and function of MOCAs in staple crops have not been reported and the downstream targets of MOCAs in salt stress tolerance signalling pathway are not clear. In this study, we identified 110 MOCA genes in wheat which were classified into five clades and they differed in gene structure, protein length, conserved motifs and expression profiles in different tissues and under salt stress. TaMOCA1 was selected for further functional study in response to salt stress. TaMOCA1 was rapidly induced by NaCl treatment. The 35S::TaMOCA1-GFP construction showed the cell nucleus and cytoplasm location in wheat protoplast. TaMOCA1 over-expressing Arabidopsis seedlings formed longer primary roots and more lateral roots than the wild type ones under 50 mM NaCl treatment. The over-expressing Arabidopsis had higher expression levels of HKT1, but lower expression levels of NHX1 and SOS genes than the wild type. Also, the transgenic plants had higher SOD activity and lower MDA content than the wild Arabidopsis seedling under salt stress. These results may indicate that TaMOCA1 increases salt stress tolerance through decreasing Na+ loading from the xylem parenchyma cells to the xylem via SOS1 and HKT1, hence lowering root-to-shoot delivery of Na+ and superior antioxidant ability. All these results lay a foundation for further functional study of MOCAs in wheat.","PeriodicalId":15907,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Genetics","volume":"17 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2024-02-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139678038","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
