Summary: This study aimed to determine the importance of QTL monitoring and QTL inter loci interaction in safflower under normal and drought stress conditions. A new linkage map with 69 polymorphic AFLP markers was constructed, identifying 17 major QTL and 66 epistatic QTL for ten agronomic traits. These QTL accounted for 3.04%-24.71% and 8.31%-56.5% of the phenotypic variations of traits, respectively. Seven main genomic regions on linkage group (LG) 4 and LG5 were found to co-localize QTL for various traits, providing valuable information for future breeding programs to enhance drought tolerance.

Summary: Mangroves, a type of plant that thrives in tropical and subtropical coastal regions, have been found to play crucial ecological roles by providing breeding grounds for fish and preventing coastal erosion. Through genome sequencing and analysis, it has been discovered that two progenitor species of mangroves are highly similar to each other and can be used as references to generate chromosome level scaffolds. Additionally, a hybrid species of mangrove has also been identified, and its hybridization event was estimated to have occurred 2.4 to 3.5 million years ago.

Summary: We found that resveratrol (RES) inhibits proliferation and induces apoptosis in human ovarian adenocarcinoma SKOV-3 cells through activating the p38 MAPK pathway. RES also inhibits cell survival by inhibiting AKT phosphorylation and inducing S-phase cell cycle arrest. Its combination with cisplatin strongly promotes cancer cell apoptosis by activating the caspase-dependent cascade.

Summary: This study examined the genetic diversity and population structure of Rhizophora mucronata in Thailand using 10x Genomics technology and RAD-seq. Results showed moderate levels of genetic diversity and differentiation, with two subpopulations observed. However, these subpopulations did not correspond to the geographical regions. Hybridization and anthropogenic factors may have influenced the genetic patterns. Mangrove ecosystems are important for coastal protection, and this research provides valuable information for the conservation and management of R. mucronata in Thailand.
