Summary: This study focused on mapping the quantitative trait locus (QTL) of resistance to A. flavus infection in the peanut variety J11. Six novel resistant QTLs were identified on chromosomes A05, A08, B01, B03, and B10, with phenotypic variances explained ranging from 5.03% to 10.87%. The combination of these QTLs significantly improved resistance to A. flavus infection, providing insights into the genetic basis of resistance and potential for further improvement in peanuts.

Summary: This study establishes Hydractinia as a reliable non-bilaterian model system for the study of sex determination and the evolution of sex chromosomes. By generating a linkage map and utilizing deep sequencing, the researchers found pseudoautosomal and non-recombining regions on the X and Y chromosomes of Hydractinia. They also identified genes in the non-recombining region that are specifically expressed in the male gonad. Additionally, the study observed enhanced recombination rates in the female genome and determined that Hydractinia has a haploid chromosome number of n = 15.

Summary: This study constructed two F-2 populations using the DM-resistant accession PI 442177 and mapped QTLs conferring DM resistance. A high-density genetic map was generated and a major QTL DM9.1 was consistently detected at different growth stages. QTL-seq analysis validated the presence of DM9.1 and a KASP marker co-segregating with DM9.1 was successfully developed, providing valuable information for DM-resistant gene cloning and melon DM-resistant breeding programs.

Summary: Kiwifruit is a woody, perennial and deciduous vine with multiple ploidy levels. Despite the availability of genomic resources, SNP genotyping is still challenging due to different levels of polyploidy. In this study, a high-density SNP genotyping array was developed and evaluated for genetic studies and breeding applications in kiwifruit.

Summary: This study investigated the transfer of fatty acids from broodstock diets to eggs and the time needed for the eggs to equilibrate to the diet in Southern flounder. The findings indicate that different diet treatments significantly affect the fatty acid composition of eggs, and it takes 8-16 weeks for the eggs to adapt to changes in the adult diet. These results are important for improving broodstock diets and feeding protocols in stock-enhancement programs.
