Pear (Pyrus L) is one of the most significant fruit crops globally, recognized for its substantial economic value and potential health benefits. 'Danxiahong' is an elite pear cultivar in the north of China, characterized by …
Read PDFThe Sirex woodwasp (Sirex noctilio; Hymenoptera: Siricidae) is among the most destructive invasive pests affecting Pinus plantations worldwide. Chemosensory systems offer promising targets for pest control strategies. The identification and characterization of chemosensation genes in …
Read PDF<h4>Background</h4>Potato (Solanum tuberosum) breeding is severely hindered by its highly heterozygous autotetraploid genome, where complex allelic interactions impede precise trait selection. Reconstructing complete haplotype-resolved assemblies is crucial for genome-assisted breeding. However, current assembly methods for …
Read PDFOrobanchaceae is the largest family of parasitic plants, encompassing a full spectrum of parasitic strategies, ranging from autotrophic to holoparasitic. Agalinis is a genus of facultative hemiparasites comprising about 70 species distributed throughout the Americas, …
Read PDFPulsatilla chinensis (Bunge) Regel, a medicinal species in the genus Pulsatilla (Ranunculaceae), exhibits significant anti-inflammatory activity due to its abundant triterpenoid saponins, enhancing its medicinal value. All 48 known Pulsatilla species lack whole genome sequencing …
Read PDFMystus gulio (Hamilton, 1822), the long whiskers catfish, belongs to the family Bagridae and inhabits brackishwater. The current study employed a multi-platform sequencing strategy including, PacBio HiFi, Illumina short read and high-throughput chromosome conformation capturing …
Read PDF<i>Citrus</i> species are economically and nutritionally vital, with their fruits cultivated globally. Despite the publication of multiple genomes for <i>Citrus</i>, high-quality assemblies that achieve both haplotype resolution and telomere-to-telomere (HR-T2T) continuity remain scarce-pummelo (<i>Citrus maxima</i>) …
Read PDFBenzylisoquinoline alkaloids (BIAs) represent a vast group of specialized plant metabolites with diverse pharmaceutical applications, synthesized by a variety of gene families. Among the multiple plant lineages that produce BIAs, the most notable is the …
Read PDFThe evolutionary history of the ANA-grade angiosperms provides a crucial window into the transition of early flowering plants. Within this group, the Nymphaeales (water lilies) are pivotal, yet a lack of gapless genomic resources has …
Read PDFThe Black Redstart (Phoenicurus ochruros) is one of the most widely distributed species, occupying diverse habitats and exhibiting altitudinal migration (0-3700 m), making it suitable model for studying altitudinal migration and high-altitude adaptation. In this …
Read PDFThe Galápagos Islands face threats from human activities and climate change, with significant consequences for native fauna like the brown sea cucumber, Isotichopus fuscus (Ludwig, 1875). Once abundant in the region's shallow coastal waters, this …
Read PDFGyrinocheilus aymonieri is endemic to Yunnan Province, China. Its mouth has evolved a specialized sucker-like structure as an adaptation to fast-flowing aquatic habitats, representing a remarkable evolutionary example of environmental adaptation. Here, we present a …
Read PDFThe white-spotted sawyer, Monochamus scutellatus (Say) (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae), is an important vector of pinewood nematode (PWN), Bursaphelenchus xylophilus (Steiner and Buhrer) Nickle, in North America. While Monochamus species from the Palearctic region have been extensively …
Read PDFThe argan tree (Argania spinosa), endemic to Morocco, holds major ecological and economic value. We generated a high-quality, chromosome-scale, phased reference genome using PacBio HiFi long reads and Hi-C scaffolding. The assembly resolves two haplotypes, …
Read PDFPseudostellaria heterophylla (Miq.) Pax, a perennial herb belonging to the Caryophyllaceae family, demonstrates substantial pharmacological value and serves as an ideal model system for studying chasmogamous and cleistogamous (CH-CL) floral dimorphism. In this study, by …
Read PDFDue to remarkably stereotyped development and small numbers of cells, ascidian embryos are invaluable as models for investigating the principles of chordate development at single-cell resolution. Established model species of ascidians, such as Ciona spp. …
Read PDFOphiorrhiza japonica, a medicinal plant of Rubiaceae, has been selected as a model plant for the study of MIA biosynthesis and regulation, as well as a sustainable source of camptothecin. Here, we performed an assembly …
Read PDFThe metabolic and physiological functions of the living organisms are primarily governed by enzymes encoded within their own genomes. An exception to this doctrine is the phenomenon of kleptobiology, where individuals sequester and use functional …
Read PDFA chromosome-scale, haplotype-resolved genome assembly is reported for Citrus × sinensis 'Pera IAC', the most widely cultivated sweet orange in Brazil and a major contributor to global orange juice production. Leveraging PacBio Revio HiFi and …
Read PDFThe superfamily Nemouroidea (Plecoptera) represents one of the most diverse and ecologically significant groups of stoneflies, with nymphs serving as crucial bioindicators of freshwater ecosystem health due to their sensitivity to water quality. However, the …
