Pulsatilla tongkangensis, an endemic species growing in the limited areas in Korea, is considered endangered species, and is growing in sympatric with P. koreana enabling natural hybridization. To characterize the true to the type of P. tongkangensis, we integrated morphological traits and molecular analyses of the nuclear ribosomal ITS (nrITS) and the

Life history of Monocystis parasites and genetic diversity of their hosts, the invasive Amynthas earthworms [PDF]
Monocystis is a parasites in the phylum Apicomplexa that infects nearly 100% of earthworms; however, the parasites have low survivorship, low production of transmissible gametocysts, and seemingly lack schizogony.

Environmental Burkholderia cenocepacia Strain Enhances Fitness by Serial Passages during Long-Term Chronic Airways Infection in Mice [PDF]
Burkholderia cenocepacia is an important opportunistic pathogen in cystic fibrosis (CF) patients, and has also been isolated from natural environments. In previous work, we explored the virulence and pathogenic potential of environmental B.

Citrus is a genetically diverse genus widely cultivated across tropical and subtropical regions, yet its varieties often exhibit overlapping morphological traits that complicate accurate identification. In this study, the genetic diversity of nine Citrus varieties was assessed using 36 Simple Sequence Repeats (SSR) markers in combination with key ...

Harnessing genomic resources for passion fruit improvement: Progress and prospects
Abstract Passion fruit (Passiflora edulis) is a highly nutritious horticultural crop cultivated widely across tropical and subtropical regions. Despite decades of breeding efforts that have led to the release of a few high‐yielding cultivars, on‐farm productivity remains suboptimal, and several existing cultivars are showing signs of declining vigor ...
