Epigenetic variations, including DNA methylation and small RNAs, are crucial for plant stress adaptation. However, their association with soybean adaptation to natural environments remains unclear. Through multi-omics analyses, we investigate soybeans from distinct geographical regions (Northern China: HH43, Southern China: HX3, and Wm82) and grown under contrasting South Winter (SW) and South Summer (SS) conditions in China.

However, compared to model plant Arabidopsis Thaliana, crucial genes and underlying molecular mechanisms involved in soybean cold stress remain underexplored. Here, we investigate two national soybean cultivars, HH43 and HX3, bred from the northeast and southwest regions of China, which exhibit significant differences in cold tolerance.

Methods: The pilot EQA scheme contents and evaluation principles of this project were designed by National Center for Clinical Laboratories (NCCL), National Health Commission. Two surveys were carried out in 2022, and 5 batches of blood spots were submitted to the participating laboratory each time.

Solitary fibrous tumors (SFTs) are commonly seen in the pleura. SFT involvement of the vulva is rare, and clinical diagnosis is mainly based on histopathological and immunohistochemical analyses. We herein describe the imaging features of a 69-year-old woman with an SFT of the vulva.
