Male Mice Heterozygous for Protamine 1 and Protamine 2 Are Infertile, Displaying Sperm Damage and Retention of Protamine 2 Precursors, Transition Proteins, and Histones

Andrology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background During spermiogenesis, protamines (PRMs) replace histones to hypercondense and protect sperm DNA. Rodents and primates express two PRMs (PRM1 and PRM2). Alterations of species‐specific PRM ratios are associated with sub‐ or infertility in mice and humans.

A CCNA1 Missense Variant Associated With Chromatid Non‐Disjunction in Abnormal‐Headed Sperm and Male Infertility

Andrology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Macrozoospermia is a rare form of teratozoospermia characterized by tetraploids, large‐headed spermatozoa with multiple flagella, usually caused by bi‐allelic AURKC mutations. The etiology of atypical phenotypes with a lower proportion of large headed spermatozoa and single flagella however often remains unresolved.

Anatomical and Histological Structures of the Male Reproductive System of Chalcophora mariana (Linnaeus, 1758) (Coleoptera: Buprestidae): Light and Scanning Electron Microscopy Study

Acta Zoologica, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study presents the first detailed morphological analysis of the male reproductive system of Chalcophora mariana (Linnaeus, 1758) using stereo microscopy, light microscopy, and scanning electron microscopy. The male reproductive system of C.

Larval character evolution in Holometabola (Insecta)

Cladistics, EarlyView.
Abstract Larvae, a novel type of immature stage, are a crucial innovation of the Holometabola. Larval features therefore provide key evidence for reconstructing evolutionary transformations in this megadiverse group. Here we present the first formal reconstruction of larval character evolution, using maximum parsimony and Bayesian ancestral‐state ...

GSK3α‐mediated regulation of the RNA demethylase fat mass and obesity‐associated protein (FTO) during murine spermatogenesis

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
FTO regulates mRNA stability and translational efficiency through its m6A‐demethylation activity. GSK3 functions as an upstream regulator of FTO, leading to its inhibition via phosphorylation. In male germ cells, FTO activity is kept in check by GSK3α.

Ploidy‐dependent modulation of DNA replication kinetics in Xenopus

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Using an interspecies replication system with Xenopus frog species of different ploidy levels, we investigated how DNA replication adapts to polyploidization. While replication was slower in tetraploid than in diploid nuclei, dodecaploid nuclei unexpectedly replicated faster than tetraploid nuclei. Our findings show that increasing genome size does not

Body size of male Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar L.) at introduction of a 5‐week LD12:12 winter signal influences their decision to mature early or smoltify

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Sexual maturation of male Atlantic salmon post‐smolts (‘jacking’) is undesired in aquaculture and seems to occur due to the intensification in modern facilities. Maturation depends on internal and external factors (temperature, photoperiod, feed availability, energy levels, body size, genetic background) that act on the brain‐pituitary‐gonad ...

ATXR5 and ATXR6 restrict meiotic crossover formation within heterochromatin in Arabidopsis

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.
The Arabidopsis H3K27 mono‐methyltransferases ATXR5 and ATXR6 repress crossovers within meiotic heterochromatin, are required for heterochromatin condensation and H3K27me1 establishment, and specifically influence the maintenance of DNA methylation in meiocytes.

Climate‐driven niche filtering limits post‐dispersal establishment and genomic introgression in a riverine shrub

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.
Integrated biogeographic analysis and macroecological insights reveal that habitat differences drive genetic differentiation Debregeasia orientalis C. J. Chen, a dominant riparian shrub distributed across multiple biodiversity hotspots, and different lineages vary greatly in adaptability to future climate.

Recent advances in the genomics of sugarcane (Saccharum)

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.
This review systematically summarizes advances in sugarcane genomics, evolution, classification, and breeding practices. It identifies key research bottlenecks and proposes an integrated research framework to facilitate predictive sugarcane breeding, which provides valuable references for genetic improvement of other complex polyploid crops.
