The genetic basis of early-stage salt tolerance in alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.), a key factor limiting its productivity, remains poorly understand. To dissect this complex trait, we integrate genome-wide association study (GWAS) and transcriptomics (RNA-seq) from 176 accessions within a machine learning based genomic prediction framework.

Primordial germ cells (PGCs) are the progenitor cells of sperm and eggs. Xenotransplantation of chicken PGCs can achieve germline transmission. However, there are still challenges in obtaining many PGCs from endangered birds in vitro.

Background And Aims: Cell wall invertases have multiple roles in plant growth and development, yet their biological functions in seed oil production are still not understood.
Methods: In the present study, the Oryza sativa (rice) cell wall invertase gene OsGIF1 (GRAIN INCOMPLETE FILLING 1) was ectopically expressed in Glycine max (Soybean) and its functions in grain yield and seed nutrition was investigated.
Key Results: We found that constitutive expression of OsGIF1 significantly improved biomass production, grain yield and seed nutrition in transgenic plants.

Hybrid breeding based on male sterility requires the removal of male parents, which is time- and labor-intensive; however, the use of female sterile male parent can solve this problem. In the offspring of distant hybridization between Brassica oleracea and Brassica napus, we obtained a mutant, 5GH12-279, which not only fails to generate gynoecium (thereby causing female sterility) but also has serrated leaves that could be used as a phenotypic marker in seedling screening. Genetic analysis revealed that this trait was controlled by a single dominant gene.

Cognitive control is fundamental to human goal-directed behavior. Understanding its trajectory across the lifespan is crucial for optimizing cognitive function throughout life, particularly during periods of rapid development and decline. While existing studies have revealed an inverted U-shaped trajectory of cognitive control in both behavioral and anatomical domains, the age-related changes in functional brain activities remain poorly understood.
