The horizontal gene transfer of Agrobacterium T-DNAs into the series Batatas (genus Ipomoea) genome is not confined to hexaploid sweetpotato [PDF]

, 2019
The discovery of the insertion of IbT-DNA1 and IbT-DNA2 into the cultivated (hexaploid) sweetpotato [Ipomoea batatas (L.) Lam.] genome constitutes a clear example of an ancient event of Horizontal Gene Transfer (HGT).

Acclimation conditions and subsequent acute hypoxia challenges do not affect the frequency of erythrocyte nuclear segmentation in triploid brook charr Salvelinus fontinalis (Mitchill 1814)

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Routine observations of blood smears have repeatedly shown that triploid fish have a greater proportion of erythrocytes with nuclear segmentation (ENS) than diploids; however, there is as yet no understanding of why this is the case and whether it affects erythrocyte function.

Comparing Responses of Triploid and Diploid Eastern Oysters, Crassostrea virginica, to Common Farm Stressors [PDF]

, 2019
Commercial off-bottom aquaculture of the Eastern oyster, Crassostrea virginica, is challenged by repeated spring and summer mortality events that disproportionally affect triploid oysters. Many farmers believe common farm practices, especially during hot

Data on clinical significance of second trimester inflammatory biomarkers in the amniotic fluid in predicting preterm delivery [PDF]

, 2016
In this article second trimester amniotic fluid biomarkers are measured for correlation with preterm delivery. One additional milliliter of amniotic fluid is collected during amniocentesis for dosages of IL-6, MMP-9, CRP and glucose levels, along with ...

Effect of heterozygosity, ploidy and incubation temperature on post‐cranial axial skeletal meristics and deformities in Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar)

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract The teleostean post‐cranial axial skeleton is a highly specialized structure for an aquatic mode of life. However, there is limited knowledge regarding parental contributions, early‐life environmental impacts on its meristic variation and if reduced heterozygosity challenges its development.

The physiological response of juvenile diploid and triploid Arctic charr Salvelinus alpinus to exhaustive exercise

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Triploidy is an effective tool for producing sterile fishes but often results in impaired performance in commercial aquaculture. In light of this, our study compared the physiological response to exhaustive exercise in juvenile diploid and triploid Arctic charr Salvelinus alpinus, a polar species with great potential for aquaculture.

Comparing Genome Sequencing Methods to Reconstruct the Spread of Piscine Myocarditis Virus in Ireland

Journal of Fish Diseases, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Piscine myocarditis virus (PMCV), a double‐stranded RNA virus, is the causative agent of cardiomyopathy syndrome (CMS) in Atlantic salmon Salmo salar, which was first reported in Ireland in 2012. PMCV continues to be a disease threat to Atlantic salmon aquaculture in Ireland, and as such, it is of growing importance to understand how the virus

Ploidy and fruit trait variation in oil-tea Camellia: Implications for ploidy breeding

Journal of Integrative Agriculture
Plant polyploidy often occurs in conjunction with higher yield and superior quality. Therefore, obtaining polyploid germplasms is a significant part of breeding.

Impacts of climatic niche breadth, phylogeny, traits and ploidy on geographical ranges of Betula species

Journal of Systematics and Evolution, EarlyView.
Geographical range size is a fundamental ecological characteristic of a species. We quantified the effects of phylogeny, climatic niche breadth, morphological traits and ploidy on range size variation of Betula species. Climatic niche breadth has the strongest effect on the range size variation of Betula species.

Documenting homoploid hybrid speciation

Molecular Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Homoploid hybrid speciation is challenging to document because hybridization can lead to outcomes other than speciation. Thus, some authors have argued that establishment of homoploid hybrid speciation should include evidence that reproductive barriers isolating the hybrid neo‐species from its parental species were derived from hybridization ...
