Molecular mechanisms of sex determination in Lepidoptera: current status and perspectives

Insect Science, EarlyView.
The genetic basis of sex determination in Lepidoptera was discovered in 2014 in the silkworm Bombyx mori. In this model species, the W chromosome‐derived small piRNA called Fem piRNA downregulates the expression of a Z‐linked gene, Masculinizer (Masc), which leads to the default female‐specific splicing of the doublesex gene (dsxF) and thus to female ...

Polymorphisms and Expression Characteristics of the ZSWIM7 Gene Are Associated with the Fertility of Male Allotetraploid of Red Crucian Carp × Common Carp

Animals
Allotetraploid fish produced by distant hybridization are valuable germplasm for the mass production of sterile triploids. The allotetraploid crucian–carp hybrid (4nAT, 4n = 200) is derived from the intergeneric cross between a female red crucian carp ...

FISH-aimed karyotype analysis in Aconitum subgen : aconitum reveals excessive rDNA sites in tetraploid taxa [PDF]

, 2018
The location of 5S and 35S rDNA sequences in chromosomes of four Aconitum subsp. Aconitum species was analyzed after fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH). Both in diploids (2n = 2x = 16; Aconitum variegatum, A. degenii) and tetraploids (2n = 4× = 32;

Integrated physiological and molecular insights into grass carp adaptation to eutrophic environments

Reproduction and Breeding
In recent years, freshwater fisheries have experienced rapid development worldwide. However, poor water management practices associated with intensive, high-density aquaculture systems may accelerate eutrophication within aquaculture systems—posing a ...

Leaf transcriptome differences between diploid and tetraploid bahiagrass. [PDF]

Plant Genome
Abstract Polyploid individuals of the subtropical forage grass Paspalum notatum Flüggé (bahiagrass) exhibit distinct phenotypes, including apomixis, enhanced vigor, gigas effects, and increased stress tolerance. While apomixis‐based breeding programs supported by molecular tools have improved agronomic traits such as growth habit, forage dry matter ...

Plastid and nuclear phylogenomics of Cyphostemma (Vitaceae) provide new insights into genome size evolution across sub‐Saharan Africa

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.
Some African Cyphostemma species evolved much larger genomes as they adapted to dry, rocky habitats. These expansions are linked to succulent traits and specialization on nutrient‐rich limestone outcrops. The findings show how climate‐driven aridification shaped plant evolution and highlight broader genome‐environment patterns across flowering plants ...

A natural variation within duplicated AsWRKY49‐D2 drives the subgenomic functional divergence of homeologs in salt response of allohexaploid oats

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.
Transcriptome analysis of oats under salt stress identified ten important salt‐responsive transcription factor families, which show extensive functional divergence among three oat subgenomes. Further integration with a genome‐wide association study under salt stress identified the AsWRKY49‐D2 gene, whose elite haplotype holds substantial potential for ...

Polyploid lineages in the genus Porphyra [PDF]

, 2018
Whole genome duplication is now accepted as an important evolutionary force, but the genetic factors and the life history implications affecting the existence and abundance of polyploid lineages within species are still poorly known.
