The impact of one-decade ecological disturbance on genetic changes : a study on the brine shrimp Artemia urmiana from Urmia Lake, Iran [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Urmia Lake, the largest natural habitat of the brine shrimp Artemia urmiana, has progressively desiccated over the last two decades, resulting in a loss of 80% of its surface area and producing thousands of hectares of arid salty land.

Unraveling the Genome of a High Yielding Colombian Sugarcane Hybrid

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2021
Recent developments in High Throughput Sequencing (HTS) technologies and bioinformatics, including improved read lengths and genome assemblers allow the reconstruction of complex genomes with unprecedented quality and contiguity. Sugarcane has one of the

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

open access: yesJournal 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.

A comparison of methods for determining ploidy in white sturgeon (Acipenser transmontanus) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Release of sturgeon with abnormal ploidy into the wild may result in reduced fitness due to lowered fertility in the F2 and subsequent generations. Further, there is evidence that ploidy affects reproductive development and caviar yield.

Chromosome-breakage genomic instability and chromothripsis in breast cancer [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Background: Chromosomal breakage followed by faulty DNA repair leads to gene amplifications and deletions in cancers. However, the mere assessment of the extent of genomic changes, amplifications and deletions may reduce the complexity of genomic data ...

Recombining your way out of trouble: the genetic architecture of hybrid fitness under environmental stress [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
Hybridization between species is a fundamental evolutionary force that can both promote and delay adaptation. There is a deficit in our understanding of the genetic basis of hybrid fitness, especially in non-domesticated organisms.

Identification of sources resistant to a virulent Fusarium wilt strain (VCG 0124) infecting Cavendish bananas

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2021
Bananas are vital for food security in many countries, and half of banana production relies solely on ‘Cavendish’ (AAA), which is presently threatened by the fungal pathogen Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. cubense (Foc) tropical race 4.

Increased dietary phosphorous prevents vertebral deformities in triploid Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar L.)

open access: yes, 2016
Triplicate groups of triploid and diploid Atlantic salmon were fed diets with a low (LP, total P: 7.1 g kg−1), medium (MP, total P: 9.4 g kg−1) or high (HP, total P: 16.3 g kg−1) phosphorous (P) level from first feeding (0.18 g) to transfer to sea water (

Ploidy dynamics and evolvability in fungi [PDF]

open access: yesPhilosophical Transactions of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 2016
Rapid responses to acute stresses are essential for stress survival and are critical to the ability of fungal pathogens to adapt to new environments or hosts. The rapid emergence of drug resistance is used as a model for how fungi adapt and survive stress conditions that inhibit the growth of progenitor cells. Aneuploidy and loss of heterozygosity (LOH)
