Yunnan Province in China, with its unique natural conditions, has nurtured abundant yet fragile biodiversity resources. The is one of the important tree species in Yunnan, valued for its ecological, economic, and medicinal significance. However, due to a lack of related research and limited germplasm resources, breeding and propagation of the . have lagged behind other tree species. To address this shortcoming, we collected 36 samples of . germplasm from six representative populations in different regions of Yunnan Province. Combining phenotypic traits, we used 24 selected primer pairs to analyze the genetic diversity and genetic structure of all samples. The results showed that seeds from the NLS and ZYG populations performed best. Among all traits, seed length exhibited the greatest variation and highest plasticity. The average values for the Shannon information index (), expected heterozygosity (He), and polymorphism information content (PIC) of the 24 loci were 0.377, 0.230, and 0.257, respectively, while the average inbreeding coefficient within populations (Fis) was -0.103 (Fis > 0). The ZYG population showed the highest genetic diversity, indicating that the has accumulated a large amount of genetic variation during its long-term evolution. AMOVA analysis revealed that 47% of the genetic variation originated within populations. The 36 families were divided into three groups, and the six populations were subdivided into three subgroups. This study, based on phenotypic traits and SSR molecular markers, analyzes the genetic diversity of resources from different provenances in Yunnan Province, providing a theoretical reference for discovering elite genetic resources and selecting hybrid parents for breeding.

Importance: Trisomy 13 (T13) and trisomy 18 (T18) are chromosomal abnormalities with high mortality rates in the first year of life. Understanding differences in long-term survival between children with full vs mosaic or partial trisomy is crucial for prognosis and health care planning.
Objective: To examine the differences in 10-year survival between children with full T13 and T18 vs those with mosaic or partial trisomy.

Myoepithelial carcinoma (MECA) is a malignant neoplasm composed exclusively of myoepithelial cells and accounts for less than 1% of all salivary gland tumors. Its diagnosis is often challenging due to histologic overlaps with benign lesions and its variable morphologic presentation. Although molecular profiling has emerged as a valuable tool in salivary gland tumor classification, the genetic landscape of MECA remains incompletely defined.

Salmonella enterica serovar Typhi, the etiological agent of Typhoid fever, remains a critical public health concern associated with high morbidity in many developing countries. The widespread emergence of multidrug-resistant (MDR) Salmonella Typhi strains against the fluoroquinolone group of antibiotics, particularly ciprofloxacin, poses a significant global therapeutic challenge with underlying resistance due to mutations in quinolone-resistance determining region (QRDR) of gyrA gene, encoding DNA gyrase subunit A (GyrA). In pursuit of alternative therapeutic candidates, the present study was designed to evaluate ciprofloxacin analogues against prevalent GyrA mutations (S83F, D87G, and D87N) to overcome fluoroquinolone resistance through machine learning (ML)-based approach.

Legumes are essential for agriculture and food security. Biotic and abiotic stresses pose significant challenges to legume production, lowering productivity levels. Most legumes must be genetically improved by introducing alleles that give pest and disease resistance, abiotic stress adaptability, and high yield potential.
