Pierre Graham ex Benth () is a precious rosewood tree species that grows in the tropical and subtropical regions of Asia. In this study, we used PacBio long-reading sequencing technology and Hi-C assistance to sequence and assemble the reference genome of . We generated 171.47 Gb PacBio long reads and 72.43 Gb Hi-C data and yielded an assembly of 10 pseudochromosomes with a total size of 690.99 Mb and Scaffold N50 of 65.76 Mb. The analysis of specific genes revealed that the triterpenoids represented by lupeol may play an important role in 's potential medicinal value. Using the new reference genome, we analyzed the resequencing of 19 accessions and found that and have the latest genetic relationship. Transcriptome sequencing of leaves grown under cold stress revealed that MYB transcription factor and E3 ubiquitin ligase may be playing an important role in the cold response of . Genome resources and identified genetic variation, especially those genes related to the biosynthesis of phytochemicals and cold stress response, will be helpful for the introduction, domestication, utilization, and further breeding of species.

The tumor microenvironment (TME) of chronic inflammation-associated cancers (CIACs) is shaped by cycles of injury and maladaptive repair, yet the principles organizing fibrotic stroma in these tumors remain unclear. Here, we applied the concept of hot versus cold fibrosis, originally credentialed in non-cancerous fibrosis of heart and kidney, to lung squamous cell carcinoma (LUSC), a prototypical CIAC. Single-cell transcriptomics of matched tumor and adjacent-normal tissue from 16 treatment-naive LUSC patients identified a cold fibrotic architecture in the LUSC TME: cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) expanded and adopted myofibroblast and stress-response states, while macrophages were depleted.

Introduction: Military standards favor clean shaven faces in soldiers to reinforce daily disciplinary habits and uniformity and ensure a proper seal of gas masks. In recent years, military beard policies have provided medical and religious exceptions. It has been anecdotally observed that Arctic warriors grow out their beards for added advantage in the extreme cold, but this has not been previously investigated from a thermoregulatory or frostbite injury protection perspective.

Rainbow trout(Oncorhynchus mykiss) is a typical cold-water fish often threatened by high summer temperatures. Nano-selenium as a feed additive can improve the antioxidant capacity of the body and relieve stress. In this study, different levels of nano-selenium (0, 5 and 10 mg/kg) were added to the feed of rainbow trout to determine the changes in spleen structure and expression of related genes in rainbow trout at the proper temperature (18℃) and heat stress temperature (24℃).

Molecular chaperones, especially heat shock proteins (HSPs) have vital functions in cells' responses to stress. Here, we cloned and sequenced the complete complementary DNA encoding HSP90 () from the shrimp . The cDNA comprised 3162 bp, including a 2172 bp coding region encoding a 724 amino acid-protein (predicted molecular mass = 83.

Background: Pest fruit flies commonly carry diverse RNA viruses with unknown host effects that may affect pest management strategies. We investigated effects of horizontally transmitted cripavirus and vertically transmitted iflavirus in Queensland fruit fly that also carried orbivirus, toti-like virus and xinmovirus as persistent covert infections.
Results: Individuals persistently infected with these five viruses had slower egg-to-pupa development, lower emergence and lower adult survival under stress than individuals without cripavirus and iflavirus, but persistently infected with the other three viruses.
