Malvaceae comprise some 4,225 species in 243 genera and nine subfamilies include economically important species, such as cacao, cotton, durian, jute, with cotton an model system for studying the domestication of polyploids. Here, we use chromosome-level genome assemblies from representatives five or six (depending on placement Ochroma ) to differentiate coexisting subgenomes their evolution during family’s deep history. The results reveal that allohexaploid Helicteroideae partially derive...
Rohdea wangiana is described as a new species from SW Sichuan, China. It somewhat similar to R. pachynema in based on spikes without marked terminal tuft of sterile bracts and deltoid filaments, but differs combination the following characters: leaf blades marginally serrulate; peduncle ebracteate; one bract per flower; perianth externally angulate, segments distally denticulate or three-lobed, small lobe present between adjacent filaments inserted base segments; stigma obviously lower than...
Gitelman syndrome is an autosomal recessive disease mostly associated with loss-of-function mutations of the SLC12A3 gene and featured by clinical hypokalemia, hypomagnesemia, hypocalciuria, histologically hypertrophy juxtaglomerular apparatus. A novel homozygous mutation (p.Arg399Pro) at extracellular domain was found correlated severe manifestations.
1. Aldosterone is a hormone that affects both blood pressure and glucose homeostasis. We studied the association of aldosterone synthase gene (CYP11B2) polymorphism -344T>C with essential hypertension (EH) homeostasis in people China. 2. investigated CYP11B2 using case-control study design (1059 cases 1120 controls). Genotyping was carried out by matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectroscopy MassARRAY platform. 3. The found to be associated EH (odds ratio...
Zanthoxylum nitidum , known as Liang-Mian-Zhen in China, is a traditional Chinese medicinal plant used to treat traumatic injury, rheumatism, paralysis, toothache, stomach ache, and venomous snake bites. Two varieties of the species have been described three morphological types reported within original variety. However, taxonomic delimitation molecular markers for distinguishing these this remain unknown. Since different populations exhibit varying chemical compositions, easy identification...
Abstract Both hybridization and intraspecific morphological variation across environmental gradients complicate species delineation. We aimed to discern both possibilities that may blur boundaries in the Carpinus viminea – laxiflora londoniana complex. conducted statistical analyses on 535 specimens encompassing entire distribution of this complex identify phenotypic clusters. Additionally, we analyzed genetic divergence probable between clusters using 76 individuals from 37 populations....
A new species, Rohdea changii, is described from NW Yunnan, China. It somewhat similar to R. nepalensis, siamensis and wattii in sharing the character of long bracts exceeding flowers, but differs mainly by oblanceolate leaf blades, acute apices, often distally lobed, oblique-zygomorphic flowers tuning nearly white at late after anthesis, 6 9 stamens, 5-lobed stigmas. The comparison species with reported.
