Background: The artificial induction of unreduced (2n) gametes, due to first division restitution (FDR) or second division restitution (SDR), is an important method to produce triploids in higher plants. It is crucial to evaluate the genetic composition and heterozygosity transmission of induced 2n gametes with different formation mechanisms.
Results: Here, we produced 110 triploids by pollinating the female inflorescence of Populus alba × P. glandulosa with gibberellin-induced 2n pollen of Populus bolleana. The genetic composition and heterozygosity of the induced 2n pollen were inferred from SSR marker analysis of the triploid offspring, using 27 primer pairs distributed across nine Populus chromosomes. This revealed that, among the 110 hybrid triploids, 70 triploids did originate from FDR-type 2n pollen and the other 40 from SDR-type 2n pollen. The FDR-type and SDR-type 2n pollen transmitted a substantially different level of parental heterozygosity (0.7545 and 0.3167, respectively) in P. bolleana. Additionally, compared with the low coefficient of variation (CV = 12.82%) for heterozygosity transmitted by FDR-type 2n pollen, there was much higher coefficient of variation (CV = 48.82%) for that transmitted by SDR-type 2n pollen.
Conclusions: Our findings provide a valuable reference point for bolstering suitable applications of 2n gametes in future research, and can help foster new strategies of triploid breeding in plants.

Immunotherapies, including cell therapies, are effective anti-cancer agents. However, cellular product persistence can be limiting with short functional duration of activity contributing to disease relapse. A variety of manufacturing protocols are used to generate therapeutic engineered T-cells; these differ in techniques used for T-cell isolation, activation, genetic modification, and other methodology.

Non-hydrogenative para-hydrogen-induced polarization (nhPHIP) has proven a powerful tool for the enhanced NMR detection of several classes of metabolites in complex mixtures. Particularly, compounds carrying an α-amino acid motif have been previously detected and quantified in biological samples and natural extracts at submicromolar concentrations using 2D nhPHIP NMR spectroscopy. This technique is here applied for the first time in a semi-targeted metabolomics NMR study on urine from patients suffering from Pyridoxine-Dependent Epilepsy (PDE), currently diagnosed by the presence of dilute unique biomarkers.

The family Spinturnicidae belongs to the suborder Monogynapsida, superfamily Dermanyssoidea, and exclusively parasitizes the body surface of bats. In the present study, we determined the complete mitochondrial genome of Spinturnix psi, a species of bat mite, and subsequently conducted a comprehensive analysis of its genomic information. The mitochondrial genome of S.

The mechanisms by which vaginal microbiota shape spontaneous preterm birth (sPTB) risk remain poorly defined. Using electronic clinical records data from 74,913 maternities in conjunction with metaxanomic (n = 596) and immune profiling (n = 314) data, we show that the B blood group phenotype associates with increased risk of sPTB and adverse vaginal microbiota composition. The O blood group associates with sPTB in women who have a combination of a previous history of sPTB, an adverse vaginal microbial composition and pro-inflammatory cervicovaginal milieu.

Ferroptosis, a regulated cell death pathway driven by iron-catalyzed lipid peroxidation, has recently been implicated as a major cause of hepatic injury in metabolic dysfunction-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD). This review highlights how the identification of hyperoxidized peroxiredoxin 3 (PRDX3) as a ferroptosis-specific marker has led to the discovery that ferroptosis contributes to liver injury in MAFLD, and summarizes other emerging evidence connecting ferroptosis to MAFLD pathogenesis. These new findings suggest that dietary fat composition and genetic variants such as PNPLA3(I148M) may affect the progression of MAFLD by regulating cellular sensitivity to ferroptosis.
