Distyly has evolved independently in numerous animal-pollinated angiosperm lineages. Understanding of its molecular basis been restricted to a few species, primarily Primula. Here, we investigate the genetic architecture single diallelic locus (S-locus) supergene, linkage group functionally associated genes, and explore how it may have distylous Nymphoides indica, lineage flowering plants not previously investigated. We assembled haplotype-resolved genomes, used read-coverage-based...
Aromatic pollutants in the environments pose significant threat to human health due their persistence and toxicity. Here, we report design comprehensive characterization of a set aromatic biosensors constructed using green fluorescence protein as reporter aromatics-responsive transcriptional regulators, namely, NahR, XylS, HbpR, DmpR, detectors. The genetic connections between detectors were carefully adjusted achieve fold inductions far exceeding those reported previous studies. For each...
Urban trees provide a range of ecological services for urban dwellers. This is particularly true in residential areas where these are known and valued. The abundance diversity determine indicate the provision by trees, while various characteristics within those areas. Exploring their major driving indicative factors important evaluating, predicting, thus improving provided trees. Here, we selected 87 Beijing through spatially stratified random sampling. Unlike quadrat survey that usually...
Venous blood sampling is a common procedure in medical diagnosis and treatment. However, the stationary manual method current use not only requires human resources but also inconvenient for elderly persons patients with limited mobility. To address this issue, paper proposes portable robot venous that features 6-P-RR-R-RR horizontal parallel mechanism its main structure. This design better adapted to shape of arm than previous robots, an offset RR-hinge structure increase mechanism’s...
Abstract Many animals and plants show left-right (LR) asymmetry. The LR asymmetry of mirror-image flowers has clear functional significance, with the reciprocal placement male female organs in left- versus right-handed promoting cross-pollination. Here, we study how handedness is determined elaborated during development South African geophyte Cyanella alba . Inflorescences C. produce a largely consistent handedness. However, this no simple genetic basis individual can switch their...
The Bali (Panthera tigris balica) and Javan (P. t. sondaica) tigers are recognized as distinct tiger subspecies that went extinct in the 1940s 1980s, respectively. Yet their genetic ancestry taxonomic status remain controversial. Following ancient DNA procedures, we generated concatenated 1750bp mtDNA sequences from 23 museum samples including 11 voucher specimens Java compared these to diagnostic 122 of living Caspian tiger. results revealed a close affinity 3 groups Sunda Islands (Bali,...
Many eukaryotic organisms reproduce by sexual and asexual reproduction. Genetic diversity in populations can be strongly dependent on the relative importance of these two reproductive modes. Here, we compare amounts patterns genetic related water hyacinths that differ their propensity for clonal propagation - highly Eichhornia crassipes moderately E. azurea (Pontederiaceae). Our comparisons involved genotype-by-sequencing (GBS) 137 ramets from 60 locations (193,495 nucleotide sites) 118 53...
Abstract Tristyly is a polymorphism characterized by three flower morphs with reciprocal stigma and anther heights controlled two epistatically interacting diallelic loci ( S M ), hypothesized to be supergenes. Chromosome-level genome assemblies of Eichhornia paniculata identified the S- M- loci. The -locus supergene consisting divergent alleles: -allele (2.51Mb) specific genes hemizygous in most S-morph plants s (596kb) five genes. Two genes, LAZY1-S HRGP-S, were specifically expressed...
Abstract A recent study published in Oryx proposed that the extinct Javan tiger Panthera tigris sondaica may still survive on Island of Java, Indonesia, based mitochondrial DNA analysis a single hair sample collected from location where was reportedly encountered. However, upon reanalysing genetic data presented study, we conclude there is little support for this claim. The sequences putative and museum specimens generated are not cytoplasmic but more likely nuclear pseudogene copies DNA. In...

Ant-plant symbioses are classic examples of mutualism in which ant "bodyguards" defend myrmecophytic plants against enemies exchange for nest sites and often food. We used RNA-Seq to profile the transcriptomes Allomerus octoarticulatus workers, aggressively Amazonian plant Cordia nodosa herbivores, but varying degrees. Field behavioral assays with herbivores Peruvian Amazon showed striking variation among colonies relative zeal A. workers their host plant. Highly effective ineffective...
Abstract A paper recently published in Oryx by Wirdateti et al. (2024) suggests that the extinct Javan tiger may still survive on Island of Java, Indonesia, based mtDNA analysis a single hair collected from claimed encounter site. After carefully re-analyzing data presented (2024), we conclude there is little support for authors’ statements. Importantly, sequences putative and museum specimens generated authors are not cytoplasmic mitochondrial DNA but more likely nuclear copies DNA. In...
ABSTRACT Many animals and plants show left-right (LR) asymmetry. In some animal systems, handedness has a simple genetic basis, which allowed identifying how is determined at the molecular level, even if its functional relevance remains unclear. Mirror-image flowers represent an example of LR asymmetry clear significance, with reciprocal placement male female organs in left-versus right-handed promoting cross-pollination. Here, we use South African geophyte Cyanella alba to study...
