We elucidate grapevine evolution and domestication histories with 3525 cultivated wild accessions worldwide. In the Pleistocene, harsh climate drove separation of grape ecotypes caused by continuous habitat fragmentation. Then, occurred concurrently about 11,000 years ago in Western Asia Caucasus to yield table wine grapevines. The domesticates dispersed into Europe early farmers, introgressed ancient western ecotypes, subsequently diversified along human migration trails muscat unique...

Their complete genomes sequenced, de novo assembled, comparatively analyzed. Phylogenetic analysis revealed A. diverged 3.3 million years ago, indicating recent event speciation....
Abstract Fetal bovine serum (FBS) shows obvious deficiencies in cell culture, such as low batch to consistency, adventitious biological contaminant risk and high cost, which severely limit the development of culture industry. Sericin protein derived from silkworm cocoon has become increasingly popular due its diverse beneficial characteristics. However, systematic evaluation sericin a substitute for FBS medium remains limited. In this study, we conducted cellular morphological, physiological...
<title>Abstract</title> In many flowering plants, male and female reproductive organs mature at different times to avoid self-pollination, a phenomenon termed dichogamy. Most dichogamous species are either protandrous (male function first) or protogynous (female first), making this strategy difficult be studied. However, in the ginger <italic>Alpinia mutica</italic>, morphotypes co-occur within populations cross-pollinate one another. Here, we demonstrate that single Mendelian locus with...
Abstract Euglena gracilis ( E. ), pivotal in the study of photosynthesis, endosymbiosis, and chloroplast development, is also an industrial microalga for paramylon production.

Abstract Tobacco brown spot caused by Alternaria fungal species is one of the most damaging diseases, and results in significant yield losses. However, little known about systematic response tobacco to this infection. To fill knowledge gap, de novo assemblies leaf transcriptomes were obtained cultivars V2 NC89 after inoculation either longipes (AL) or alternata (AA) at three different time points. We studied gene expression profile each cultivar-pathogen combination, identified eight...
Grapevine (Vitis vinifera) is one of the most important fruit species in Classical Mediterranean world. It thought to have been domesticated 6,000-8,000 years ago Near East. However, domestication its wild relative into wine grapes or table remains largely unknown. In this study, we analyzed 30 grapes, dual-purpose grape accessions, as well relatives vinifera ssp. sylvestris). The phenotypic comparison showed striking differences berry weight, acidity and content aroma. Based on a total...
