Characterizing genome-wide changes associated with inbreeding tolerance in cranberry: insights into homozygosity and heterozygosity.

The American cranberry (Vaccinium macrocarpon) is an important native North American fruit. Cranberry is a self-fertile woody perennial. As part of an ongoing breeding and genetics program, inbred lines have been developed to help understand the effects of inbreeding in cranberries and to develop near-homozygous lines. Self-pollination can lead to a phenomenon known as inbreeding depression. As the effects propagate through generations, the loss of genetic diversity in offspring can cause reduced vigor, size of fruit and vegetative organs, and overall fitness. Our early observations suggested …

Cross-regional and temporal generalizability of portable visible spectroscopy for olive maturity classification.

BACKGROUND: Olive maturity governs lot destination and the yield-quality trade-off in olive oil production, yet it is still monitored by subjective visual scoring of the Jaén index. Spectroscopic alternatives have relied mainly on near-infrared instruments, with scarce evidence from Brazilian orchards and almost no evaluation of spatial or temporal transfer. The preserny study investigated whether a portable visible spectrophotometer (400-700 nm, 31 wavelengths) combined with CIE L*a*b* colorimetry and machine learning can recover per-fruit ripening stage (six classes) with encouraging robustn…

От мыши к худшему: роль мышей в вирусном зоонозе.

Все чаще наблюдаются зоонотические инфекции, и мыши (Chiroptera) играют здесь ключевую роль. В отношении генипавируса (семейства: парамиксовирусы) была выявлена причинно-следственная цепь событий. Обезлесение в сочетании с изменением климата привело к сокращению источников продуктовых мышей Pteropus и привлекло их к фруктовым деревьям, посаженным вокруг свиней в Малайзии, передав вирус Нипах свиням в качестве усиливающих носителей, а затем свиньи-фермеры и скотобойни. Аналогичные сценарии наблюдались в Австралии, где Pteropus bats передали вирус Гендра лошадям в качестве промежуточных носителе
