Disomic alien addition lines (DAALs, 2n = 42) were obtained from an intersubgeneric cross between Glycine max [L.] Merr. cv . Dwight (2n = 40, G1G1) and Glycine tomentella Hayata (PI 441001, 2n = 78, D3D3CC). These DAALs had two homologous G. tomentella chromosomes. In some progenies of the DAALs the extra G. tomentella chromosomes were eliminated. One objective of this research was to identify differences in gene expression b...

Chytrids (phylum Chytridiomycota ) are zoosporic fungi that play key roles as parasites of aquatic microorganisms, yet they are understudied and genomic resources for algal-infecting chytrids remain scarce. Here, we present the first comparative genomic analysis of multiple isolates of a single chytrid species (order Rhizophydiales ) infecting the cyanobacterium Planktothrix agardhii . Isolates were collected from Sandusky Bay...

Auxin Response Factors (ARFs) are of vital importance in plant growth and vascular development. Class A ARFs are the core auxin-driven drivers of embryogenesis, vascular pattern development, (pro)cambial stem cell initiation and xylem cell fate specification, while class B ARFs may attenuate or fine-tune auxin-mediated development. The potential roles of class C ARFs in vascular development and xylogenesis, however, remain lar...

Purpose A diagnostic challenge in the management of chronic kidney disease (CKD) is distinguishing diabetic kidney disease (DKD) from hypertensive kidney disease (HKD) in patients with coexisting diabetes mellitus (DM) and hypertension (HTN), because accurate diagnosis often depends on renal biopsy as a reference standard. This study proposes a modeling approach to identify cardiovascular biomarkers for differentiating DKD fro...
