The process of evolution under domestication has been studied using phylogenetics, population genetics–genomics, quantitative trait locus (QTL) mapping, gene expression assays, and archaeology. Here, we apply an evolutionary genetic approach to understand the constraints imposed by architecture variation in teosinte, wild ancestor maize, consequences on architecture. Using modern teosinte maize landrace populations as proxies for domesticate, respectively, estimated heritabilities, additive...
Stripe rust, caused by Puccinia striiformis f. tritici, is one of the most destructive diseases wheat in world. The Sichuan Basin important regions production and stripe rust epidemics China. resistance gene Yr26 (the same as Yr24) has been widely used breeding programs many cultivars grown this region since was discovered early 1990s. Virulence to increased frequency its first detection 2008. objective study assess vulnerability lines Yr26-virulent races. In total, 85 accessions were tested...
Abstract Introgression lines population was effectively used in mapping quantitative trait loci (QTLs), identifying favorable genes, discovering hidden genetic variation, evaluating the action or interaction of QTLs multiple conditions and providing experimental materials for plant breeding research. In this study, an advanced backcross consecutive selfing strategy to develop introgression (ILs), which derived from accession Oryza rufipogon Griff. collected Yuanjiang County, Yunnan Province...
Abstract Recombinant inbred lines (RILs) are an important resource for mapping genes controlling complex traits in many species. While RIL populations have been developed maize, a maize population with multiple teosinte as parents has lacking. Here, we report nested association (TeoNAM) population, derived from crossing five inbreds to the line W22. The resulting 1257 BC1S4 RILs were genotyped 51,544 SNPs, providing high-density genetic map length of 1540 cM. On average, each is 15%...
ABSTRACT: Our objective was to investigate the genetic polymorphisms of glutathione S ‐transferase M1, T1, and P1 genes ( GSTM1 , GSTT1 GSTP1 ) assess oxidative damage in infertile men with varicoceles from northwestern China. A total 65 30 controls were included study. Multiplex polymerase chain reaction reaction–restriction fragment length polymorphism analyses used identify genotypes. Sperm DNA assessed by terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase‐mediated dUTP‐biotin nick end‐labeling...
Purpose: Alterations in the gut microbiota have been associated with age-related macular degeneration (AMD). However, dysbiosis shared by different ethnicity and geographic groups, which may associate disease pathogenesis, remain underexplored. Here, we characterized of patients AMD from Chinese Swiss cohorts identified cross-cohort signatures AMD. Methods: Shotgun metagenomic sequencing was performed on fecal samples 30 healthy subjects. Published datasets 138 subjects were re-analyzed....
Abstract Background Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is the leading cause of blinding eye disease among working adults and primarily attributed to excessive proliferation microvessels, which leads vitreous hemorrhage retinal traction, thereby significantly impairing patient vision. NSUN2-mediated RNA m 5 C methylation implicated in various diseases, this investigation, we focused on elucidating impact NSUN2 regulation expression downstream gene MUC1, specifically through methylation, progression...
Much of the previous literature has studied relationship between individual lifestyle factors and health-related quality life (HRQOL). However, only a few studies combined them to explore their relative importance HRQOL in elderly. This study assesses urban, rural, institutionalized Chinese elderly explores contributions different HRQOL. The SF-36v2 Health Survey, WHOQOL-OLD module, socio-demographic questionnaire were utilized this study. Hierarchical regression was performed order analyze...
Summary Miniature inverted‐repeat transposable elements ( MITE s) are structurally homogeneous non‐autonomous DNA transposons with high copy numbers that play important roles in genome evolution and diversification. Here, we analyzed the rice high‐tillering dwarf htd ) mutant an advanced backcross population between cultivated wild rice, identified active named miniature Jing mJ ing ). The element belongs to PIF / Harbinger superfamily. japonica var. Nipponbare indica 93‐11 harbor 72 79...
Background: Female sex workers (FSWs) play a critical role in the heterosexual transmission of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)/sexually transmitted infections (STIs) China. Several studies reported that street-based FSWs have higher risk behaviors than establishment-based FSWs. Therefore, should be specifically targeted for HIV and STIs intervention programs. Objectives: This study aims to investigate prevalence rates factors syphilis among Nanchang, Materials Methods: Using convenience...
In this study, an F2 segregated population obtained by hybridization between the aphid-sensitive sorghum strain Qiansan and aphid-resistant cultivar Henong 16 was used to establish pool pool. 192 pairs of AFLP (amplified fragment length polymorphism) marker primers were screened in these pools using BSA (bulked segregant analysis). Three -EcoR I-CTG/Mse I-CCT, I-CAT, I-AGT/Mse I-CCC showed linkage with aphis resistance. I-CCT-475, I-CAT-390, I-CCC-350 (E42/M52-350) mapped within 6, 10, 13 cM...
Abstract Xue et al. describe a phenomenon in maize and its nearest wild relative, teosinte, by which backcross progeny of specific teosinte exhibit sickly whole-plant phenotype involving changes morphology, vigor, viability... In the course generating populations with chromosomal introgressions, an unusual plant was noted individuals from crosses two accessions collected near Valle de Bravo, Mexico. The plants these Bravo appear phenotypically normal themselves F1 similar to typical × F1s....
Due to the adverse effects of antidiabetic drugs, nowadays, nutraceuticals have been much interest investigators. Therefore, present study aimed explore potential enteral nutritional (EN) formulas on gut microbiota and metabolic regulation type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) mice compare differences between whey protein soy protein.EN made or were administered for five weeks then tissue samples obtained examine parameters histopathology pancreas, liver, jejunum colon. 16S rRNA V3-V4 region gene...
Significance We investigated the genetic architecture of maize domestication using a quantitative genetics approach. With multiple populations teosinte and maize, we also compared among within teosinte. showed that or is generally conserved, in contrast to radical differences between maize. Our results suggest while selection drove changes essentially all traits far less important for explaining trait
The complete mitochondrial genome of Sarcophyton trocheliophorum was completed using next-generation sequencing (NGS) method. is a circular molecule 18,508 bp in length, containing 14 protein-coding genes, two ribosomal RNA genes and one transfer gene (Met-tRNA). base composition 30.45% A, 16.03% C, 19.13% G, 34.40% T, with an A + T content 64.85%. phylogenetic analysis Alcyoniidae showed that genus had the closest relationship Sinularia.
Teosinte, the ancestor of maize, possesses multiple ears at each node along its main stalk, whereas maize has only a single ear node. With greater number, teosinte is referred to as being more prolific. The grassy tillers 1 (gt1) gene been identified large-effect quantitative trait locus underlying this prolificacy difference between and teosinte, causal polymorphism for was mapped 2.7kb control region 5′ gt1 ORF. most common haplotype (M1) confers low prolificacy. A prior study reported...
