Article Abstract
Many plants are allopolyploids with different nuclear genomes from two or more progenitors, but cytoplasmic genomes typically inherited from the female parent. The importance of this speciation mechanism has stimulated the extensive investigations of genetic consequences of genome mergers in several experimental systems during last 20 years. The dynamic nature of polyploid genomes is recognized, and widespread changes to gene expression are revealed by transcriptomic analysis. These progresses show different stabilities of parental genomes and their unequal contributions to the transcriptome, proteome, and phenotype. We review the results in systems where extensive genetic analyses have been conducted and propose possible mechanisms for biased behavior of parental genomes in allopolyploids, including the role of nucleolar dominance. It is hypothesized that the novel ribosomes with rRNAs from uniparental genome and the ribosomal proteins of biparental origins have some impacts on the biased cellular and genetic behaviors of parental genomes in hybrids and allopolyploids.

Feline infectious peritonitis virus (FIPV) can cause an immune-mediated disease that is fatal to felines, but there is a lack of clinically effective protection conferred by vaccines. The methyltransferase (MTase) activity of the coronavirus nonstructural proteins nsp14 and nsp16 affects virulence, but there are no studies on the effect of nsp14 and nsp16 mutations affecting enzyme activity on the virulence of FIPV. In this study, we successfully rescued two mutant strains based on the previous infectious clone QS-79, named FIPV QS-79 dnsp14 and dnsp16, by mutating the MTase active sites of nsp14 (N415) and nsp16 (D129).

Background: Developmental and epileptic encephalopathies (DEEs) comprise a diverse range of disorders that can arise from both genetic and non-genetic causes. Genetic DEEs are linked to pathogenic variants in various genes with different molecular functions. The wide clinical and genetic variability found in DEEs poses a considerable challenge for accurate diagnosis even with the use of comprehensive diagnostic approaches such as whole genome sequencing (WGS).

Black pod disease, caused by a complex of Phytophthora species, poses a severe threat to global cacao production. This study explores the use of CRISPR-Cas9 genome editing to reduce disease susceptibility in Theobroma cacao L. by targeting the TcNPR3 gene, a known negative regulator of plant defence.
