Summary: Sclerotinia sclerotiorum is one of the most dangerous pathogens of rapeseed, mainly due to its production of oxalic acid. Statistical differences were found in acid production by S. sclerotiorum isolates collected between 2012 and 2014, and a relationship between acid production and linear mycelium growth rate was observed. RAPD analysis revealed high similarity between pathogen isolates from the same location, with small genetic differences depending on the origin of the isolates.

Summary: In this study, a gene identification system was developed based on qPCR reactions using core B. thuringiensis genes for the characterization of 257 strains of B. thuringiensis. The results showed that cry1, cry2, and vip3A/B genes are distributed homogeneously throughout the Brazilian territory, while some genes are specific to certain regions. The genetic diversity of B. thuringiensis strains in a region is influenced by geoclimatic conditions and regional crops, and there is constant exchange of genetic information among B. thuringiensis strains.

Summary: The study estimated the genetic diversity among 33 common bean genotypes using 10 RAPD and 10 SCoT markers. Both marker systems showed high levels of polymorphism, supported by high polymorphic information content (PIC) values. The efficiency of the markers was compared using the Diversity Detection Index (DDI) and Marker Index (MI), with SCoT markers showing higher values and greater efficiency in detecting molecular variability. The results confirm the separation of the bean genotypes and suggest the potential use of genetically distant material for breeding purposes.

Summary: In this study, molecular characterization of four buckwheat species was conducted using ISSR markers, revealing a significant genetic diversity within F. esculentum, F. sagittatum, and F. kashmirianum accessions at the intra-specific level, while F. tataricum showed lower genetic diversity. Analysis based on genetic distance and diversity indices indicated a clear phylogenetic relationship between the different accessions, with significant genetic differentiation observed among the different species.

Summary: This study evaluated the genetic diversity of IAV in pigs at weaning in farms in the Midwestern USA. Multiple lineages of HA and NA were found to co-circulate in both piglets and farms, indicating significant genetic variability of IAV. The results underscore the need for novel strategies to prevent and control the spread of IAV within and between farms.

Summary: The Yao silkworm is a unique silkworm resource that has been exclusively reared by the Baiku Yao ethnic group in Nandan County, Guangxi Province, China for a thousand years. This study reveals that the Yao silkworm shares a common ancestor with the domestic silkworm, but possesses distinct mitochondrial genome variations. The Yao silkworm represents an ancient population of the domestic silkworm.

Summary: In this study, candidate chemosensory genes were characterized from the genomes of two wild silkmoths. The study found that the number of genes related to olfaction and taste varied between the two species. Furthermore, most of these genes were expressed in the antennal transcriptome, while some gustatory receptor genes showed no expression.

Summary: In this study, the cuticular proteins (CPs) in the genome of Antheraea pernyi were identified and compared with those of Bombyx mori. It was found that A. pernyi expressed more RR-2 genes during the pupal stage compared to B. mori, but expressed less RR-2 genes in the prothoracic gland. This suggests that the difference in hardness between the pupal skin and prothoracic gland of the two species may be caused by the number of expressed RR-2 genes. Additionally, it was revealed that B. mori expressed a higher number of CP genes in the antennae and prothoracic gland of the fifth instar larva than in the larval epidermis. This study provides an overall framework for functional research on CP genes in Saturniidae.

Summary: Cold is an important environmental stress that affects the growth, productivity, and geographic distribution of tree species. In this study, the physiological and metabolic responses of two oak species to cold stress were compared, and it was found that Quercus wutaishanica was more cold-tolerant than Q. acutissima. Metabolomic analysis revealed that carbohydrate and flavonoid metabolites played important roles in the cold tolerance of both oak species.
