High winter mortality is the most important factor limiting biomass yield of lowland switchgrass planted in the northern latitudes of North America. Due to the perennial growth habit and strong dependence on weather conditions to generate sufficient selection pressure to identify winter-hardy individuals, breeding of cold tolerant switchgrass cultivars requires many years. Identification of causal genetic variants for winter survivorship would accelerate the improvement of switchgrass biomass production. The objective of this study was to...

Amphipyrinae have long been a catchall taxon for Noctuidae, with most members lacking discernible morphological synapomorphies that would allow their assignment to one of the many readily diagnosable noctuid subfamilies. Here data from seven gene regions (>5,500 base pairs) for more than 120 noctuid genera are used to infer a phylogeny for Amphipyrinae and related subfamilies. Sequence data for 57 amphipyrine genera—most represented by the type species of the genus—are examined. Presented here are: the...

The genus Celtis in eastern North America shows puzzling patterns of variation. While three species are generally recognized, many authors have suggested hybridization may be blurring the boundaries among them. Suspected hybridization between C. occidentalis and C. pumila has hampered conservation planning for the latter, which is a Threatened species in Canada. Using microsatellite markers and flow cytometry, we assessed the relationship between genetic diversity, ploidy, and morphology in this group. We confirmed the presence...

Several members of Alternaria section Alternaria are economically important plant-pathogenic fungi that cause disease on a wide range of host types and plant tissues. The production of Alternaria-derived mycotoxins can lead to significant post-harvest losses due to contamination of agricultural products. Multiple Alternaria species are listed as regulated organisms, which are monitored by international plant protection programmes. These taxa often share high levels of both morphological and phylogenetic similarity, and the establishment of molecular markers...

The emerging COVID-19 caused by SARS-CoV-2 infection poses severe challenges to global public health. Serum antibody testing is becoming one of the critical methods for the diagnosis of COVID-19 patients. We investigated IgM and IgG responses against SARS-CoV-2 nucleocapsid (N) and spike (S) protein after symptom onset in the intensive care unit (ICU) and non-ICU patients. 130 blood samples from 38 COVID-19 patients were collected. The levels of IgM and IgG specific to N and...

Young leaves of the 175 inbred lines and their seven parents were collected from seedlings grown in a greenhouse. About 200 mg bulk leaf sample from three plants of a line was placed in 2 ml safe-lock Eppendorf tube and stored at ‒80 ˚C for one night prior to crushing using a Mixer Mill (TissueLyser II, Qiagen, Germany). Genomic DNA was extracted using SIGMA DNA extraction kit (Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, USA) following the manufacturer’s...

Patients with acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) have poor prognoses and low overall survival (OS) rates owing to its heterogeneity and the complexity of its tumour microenvironment (TME). N6-methyladenosine (m6A) modification plays a key role in the initiation and progression of haematopoietic malignancies. However, the underlying function of m6A regulators in AML remains elusive. This study thoroughly analysed the m6A modification features of 177 AML patients based on 22 m6A regulators. Utilizing unsupervised clustering, we determined...

Prolonged infection and possible evolution of SARS-CoV-2 in patients living with uncontrolled HIV-1 infection highlight the importance of an effective vaccination regimen, yet the immunogenicity of COVID-19 vaccines and predictive immune biomarkers have not been well investigated. Herein, we report that the magnitude and persistence of antibody and cell-mediated immunity (CMI) elicited by an Ad5-vectored COVID-19 vaccine are impaired in SIV-infected macaques with high viral loads (> 105 genome copies per ml plasma, SIVhi) but...

Optic atrophy 3 (OPA3) is an integral protein of the mitochondrial outer membrane. The current study explored the expression of OPA3 in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), its association with the prognosis and its involvement in HCC cell proliferation and aerobic glycolysis. In addition, the transcription factors that activate its expression were screened and validated. Gene expression data in normal liver and liver cancer were acquired from the Genotype-Tissue Expression Project (GTEx) and The Cancer Genome Atlas...
