We aimed analyze diffusion tensor image along perivascular space (DTI-ALPS) and (PVS) burden reveal relationship between PD. A cross-sectional study using a 7 T MRI 76 PD patients 48 controls was performed evaluate brain's system. DTI-ALPS PVS basal ganglia were calculated. Correlation analyses conducted DTI-ALPS, clinical features. detected...
Abstract The codling moth Cydia pomonella , a major invasive pest of pome fruit, has spread around the globe in last half century. We generated chromosome-level scaffold assembly including Z chromosome and portion W chromosome. This reveals duplication an olfactory receptor gene ( OR3 ), which we demonstrate enhances ability C. to exploit kairomones pheromones locating both host plants mates. Genome-wide association studies contrasting insecticide-resistant susceptible strains identify...
Mikania micrantha is one of the top 100 worst invasive species that can cause serious damage to natural ecosystems and substantial economic losses. Here, we present its 1.79 Gb chromosome-scale reference genome. Half genome composed long terminal repeat retrotransposons, 80% which have been derived from a significant expansion in past million years. We identify whole duplication event recent segmental duplications, may be responsible for rapid environmental adaptation. Additionally, show M....
The mismatch repair (MMR) pathway plays an important role in the maintenance of genome integrity, meiotic recombination and gametogenesis. This study investigated whether genetic variations MMR genes are associated with increased risk sperm DNA damage male infertility.We selected genotyped 21 tagging single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) five (MLH1, MLH3, PMS2, MSH4 MSH5) using SNPstream 12-plex platform a case-control 1,292 idiopathic infertility patients 480 fertile controls Chinese...
Abstract Whole‐genome duplication (WGD), contributing to evolutionary diversity and environmental adaptability, has been observed across a wide variety of eukaryotic groups, but not in molluscs. Molluscs are the second largest animal phylum terms species numbers, among organisms that have successfully adapted nonmarine realm through aquatic–terrestrial (A‐T) transition. We assembled chromosome‐level reference genome for Achatina immaculata , globally invasive species, compared genomes two...
In insects, vision is crucial in finding host plants, but its role nocturnal insects largely unknown. Vision involves responses to specific spectra of photon wavelengths and opsins plays an important this process. Long-wavelength sensitive opsin (LW opsin) blue-sensitive (BL are main visual proteins play behavior regulation.We used CRISPR/Cas9 technology mutate the long-wavelength-sensitive blue wavelength-sensitive genes explored invasive pest Tuta absoluta. Light wave experiments revealed...
The beet armyworm Spodoptera exigua is a polyphagous caterpillar that causes serious damage to many species of crops and vegetables. To gain insight into how this insect differs from less harmful oligophagous species, we generated chromosome-level assembly compared it closely related with the same or different feeding habits. Based on Illumina Pacific Biosciences data Hi-C technology, 425.6 Mb genome sequences were anchored oriented 31 linkage groups, an N50 length 14.8 Mb. A total 24,649...
General odorant-binding proteins (GOBPs) play a crucial role in the detection of host plant volatiles and pheromones by lepidopterans. Previous studies identified two duplications GOBP2 gene Cydia pomonella. In this study, we employed qRT-PCR, protein purification, fluorescence competitive binding assays to investigate functions three genes C. Our findings reveal that CpomGOBP2a CpomGOBP2b are specifically highly expressed antennae, while CpomGOBP2c exhibits high specific expression wings,...
Abstract DNA methylase 1 ( Dnmt1 ) is an important regulatory factor associated with biochemical signals required for insect development. It responds to changes in the environment and triggers phenotypic plasticity. Meanwhile, Tuta absoluta Meyrick (Lepidoptera: Gelechiidae) — a destructive invasive pest can rapidly invade adapt different habitats; however, role of this organism has not been elucidated. Accordingly, study investigates mechanism(s) underlying rapid adaptation temperature...
The neuroligin (Nlg) family of neural cell adhesion molecules is thought to be required for synapse formation and development has been linked the autism spectrum disorders in humans. In Drosophila melanogaster, mutations 1–3 genes have reported induce developmental defects at neuromuscular junctions (NMJs), but role 4 (dnlg4) not determined. Here, we report that (DNlg4) different from DNlg1–3 it presynaptically regulates NMJ development. Loss dnlg4 results reduced growth NMJs with fewer...
Bactrocera minax, one of the most devastating citrus pests in Asia, has two developmental stages (mature larva and pupa) that complete their life cycle soil. Currently, southern China a climate with abundant autumn rains, soil moisture can be major factor affecting survival larvae pupae B. minax. In present study, we evaluated effects water immersion high content on development mature When immersed for 1 d, 100% minax were knocked out. less than 6 however, more 92% knocked-out recovered...
Roadways with low embankments may undergo considerable postconstruction settlement under traffic loads, which can significantly threaten roadway safety. This study aimed to investigate the dynamic response of a embankment subjected moving loads on Yangtze River floodplain soils. Dynamic earth stress sensors were installed monitor responses at different depths. Heavy and light vehicles allowed drive over these speeds ranging from 20 80 km/h. To verify effect pavement thickness, field tests...
Mikania micrantha is a fast-growing global invasive weed species that causes severe damage to natural ecosystems and very large economic losses of forest crop production. It has advantages in photosynthesis, including similar net photosynthetic rate as C4 plants higher carbon fixation capacity. We used combination genomics transcriptomics approaches study the evolutionary mechanisms circadian expression patterns M. micrantha. In micrantha, 16 positive selection genes focused on photoreaction...
Tomato leaf miner, Tuta absoluta (Meyrick), is one of the most destructive quarantine pests globally. It has been confirmed that Krüppel-homologue 1 (kr-h1) plays a key role in regulation juvenile hormone (JH). However, it unclear how kr-h1 regulates synthesis JH and its cascade pattern tomato miner. Here, we obtained six signalling genes (kr-h1, Methoprene-tolerant, Forkhead box O, Juvenile acid methyltransferase, esterase Fatty synthase 2), applied RNA interference to explore seven (plus...
The tomato leafminer, Tuta absoluta (Lepidoptera: Gelechiidae), is a highly destructive invasive pest targeting Solanaceae crops. Its olfactory system plays crucial role in host location, mate finding, and other behavioral activities. However, there notable gap the literature regarding characterization of its chemosensory genes. In this study, we conducted genome-wide identification 58 odorant receptors (ORs) T. absoluta. identified ORs exhibit coding sequence (CDS) lengths ranging from 1062...
The TP53, a transcriptional regulator and tumor suppressor, is functionally important in spermatogenesis.MDM2 key of the p53 pathway modulates activity.Both proteins have been linked to germ cell apoptosis, which may affect human infertility, but very little known on how common polymorphisms these genes influence apoptosis risk male infertility.Thus, this study was designed test whether three previously described 72Arg.Pro (rs1042522) Ex2119C.T (rs2287498) 59 untranslated region (59 UTR)...
Abstract Whole-genome duplication (WGD) has been observed across a wide variety of eukaryotic groups, contributing to evolutionary diversity and environmental adaptability. Mollusks are the second largest group animals, among organisms that have successfully adapted nonmarine realm through aquatic-terrestrial (A-T) transition, no comprehensive research on WGD reported in this group. To explore A-T transition Mollusca, we assembled chromosome-level reference genome for giant African snail...
The DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) repair pathway plays a critical role in repairing breaks, and genetic variants DSBs genes are potential risk factors for various diseases. To test the hypothesis that polymorphisms associated with susceptibility to male infertility, we examined 11 single nucleotide eight key (XRCC3, XRCC2, BRCA2, RAG1, XRCC5, LIG4, XRCC4 ATM) 580 infertility cases controls from Chinese population-based case-control study (NJMU Infertility Study). Genotypes were determined...
