Ninety-one potato genotypes (cultivars and breeding lines) selected as resistant or susceptible to pathotype Ro1 of Globodera rostochiensis were screened for the presence of two PCR markers, 0.14 and 0.76 kb in length. Both PCR markers were linked with the H1 gene, located at the distal end of the long arm of chromosome V, and were present in 88 to 100% of the resistant cultivars and breeding lines. The 0.76 kb PCR marker was detected in all resistant genotypes and in approximately 86% of susceptible breeding lines as well as in all susceptible cultivars. The 0.14 kb marker was detected in 88% of resistant breeding lines and in 94% of resistant cultivars. Most of the susceptible genotypes tested (91% of cultivars, but only 50% of breeding lines) did not show the presence of the 0.14 kb marker. We conclude that the 0.14 kb H1 marker is likely to be useful for the proper selection of potato genotypes resistant to the Ro1 pathotype of G. rostochiensis.

Heterosis refers to the superior performance of hybrids over their parents (inbred lines) in one or more characteristics. Hence, understanding this process is crucial for addressing food insecurity. This review explores the traditional genetic models proposed to explain heterosis and integrates them with emerging perspectives such as epigenetic studies and multi-omics approaches which are increasingly used to investigate the molecular basis of heterosis in plants.

In this study, a comprehensive genome-wide identification and analysis of the aldo-keto reductase (AKR) gene family was performed to explore the role of Gossypium hirsutumAKR40 under salt stress in cotton. A total of 249 AKR genes were identified with uneven distribution on the chromosomes in four cotton species. The diversity and evolutionary relationship of the cotton AKR gene family was identified using physio-chemical analysis, phylogenetic tree construction, conserved motif analysis, chromosomal localization, prediction of cis-acting elements, and calculation of evolutionary selection pressure under 300 mM NaCl stress.

The systematic identification of human-virus protein-protein interactions (PPIs) is a critical step toward elucidating the underlying mechanisms of viral infection, directly informing the development of targeted interventions against existing and emerging viral threats. In this work, we presented DeepGNHV, an end-to-end framework that integrated a pretrained protein language model with structural features derived from AlphaFold2 and leveraged graph attention networks to predict human-virus PPIs. In comparison to other state-of-the-art approaches, DeepGNHV exhibited superior predictive performance, especially when applied to viral proteins absent from the training process, indicating its strong generalization capability for detecting newly emerging virus-related PPIs.

Copper (Cu) supplementation is essential in pig nutrition; however, its effects on performance, trace element accumulation in edible tissues, and environmental excretion require careful evaluation. In the present study a total of 24 male, castrated fattening pigs of two different hybrid mast lines (11 weeks of age) were divided according to their initial body weight (25.8 ± 3.
