QTL epistasis plays a role of homeostasis on heading date in rice

Scientific Reports
If there was no gene interaction, the gene aggregation effect would increase infinitely with the increase of gene number. Epistasis avoids the endless accumulation of gene effects, playing a role of homeostasis.

ShORR-1, a Novel Tomato Gene, Confers Enhanced Host Resistance to Oidium neolycopersici

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2019
A previous complementary cDNA-amplified fragment length polymorphism (cDNA-AFLP) analysis examined responses to the powdery mildew pathogen Oidium neolycopersici (On) of the resistant cultivar Solanum habrochiates G1.1560, carrying the Ol-1 resistance ...

Identifying molecular pathways and candidate genes associated with knob traits by transcriptome analysis in the goose (Anser cygnoides)

Scientific Reports, 2021
Anser cygnoides has a spherical crest on the beak roof, which is described as knob. However, the mechanisms affecting knob morphology are unclear. Here, we investigated the phenotypic characteristics and molecular basis of knob-size differences in ...

A transcriptomic map of ligand-receptor interactions within bovine antral follicles predicts intrafollicular factors for improving oocyte quality

Journal of Animal Science and Biotechnology
Background The ovarian follicle is an enclosed microenvironment that ensures oocyte growth and maturation, making it essential for female fertility. Normal folliculogenesis development and oocyte maturation strictly rely on orchestrated intercellular ...

KDM7A and KDM1A inhibition suppresses tumour promoting pathways in prostate cancer

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Treatment resistance is a major challenge for patients with advanced prostate cancer. This study examined an alternative approach to target the major prostate cancer‐promoting pathway by targeting epigenetic factors, whose levels are higher in tumours.

RPAD locus controls prostrate growth habit in Oryza nivara

The Plant Genome
The development of ideal plant architecture is crucial for optimizing grain yield in crop breeding. The transition from prostrate growth habit in wild rice to erect growth habit in cultivated rice is one of the important events during rice domestication.
