Abstract SARS-CoV-2, the causative agent of COVID-19 pandemic, can infect a wide range mammals. Since its spread in humans, secondary host jumps SARS-CoV-2 from humans to multiple domestic and wild populations mammals have been documented. Understanding extent adaptation these animal hosts is critical for assessing threat that spillback animal-adapted into poses. We compare genomic landscapes isolated species profiling mutational biases indicative potentially different selective pressures...

Meiosis in microsporocytes was studied nine ‘Chemung’ plants, 14 ‘Penngift’ and one S 1 plant of crownvetch ( Coronilla varia L.). All plants were tetraploid (2n=24), 41% the diakinesis cells had or more multivalents (III's IV's). Averages pairing configurations 0.8 I's, 10.7 II's, 0.1 III's, 0.4 IV's per cell. Quadrivalents ranged from 0 to 5 cell, compared a theoretical maximum 6. We concluded that C. autotetraploid‐like meiotic chromosome behavior. No differences found between cultivars...
