    4 p, 267.7 KB A guide to plant breeding for animal breeders / Perez-Enciso, Miguel (Centre de Recerca en Agrigenòmica) ; Bernardo, Rex (University of Minnesota)
    Over the years, some animal breeding PhD graduates have found employment in major plant breeding companies, but this shift is often accompanied by culture shock. Animal breeding expertise, particularly in genomic prediction and mixed-model analysis, is valuable but insufficient for a straightforward transition to plant breeding. [...]

    Developmental phase transitions in plants represent irreversible shifts in growth and identity and must therefore be precisely controlled. These transitions rely heavily on epigenetic mechanisms and are tightly coordinated with environmental cues. [...]

    14 p, 761.7 KB First Detection of Human- and Dog-Associated Demodex Mites (Acari, Arachnida) in Southern European Wolves (Canis lupus) / Sastre Alaiz, Natalia (Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona. Departament de Ciència Animal i dels Aliments) ; Fayos, Manena (Centro de Recuperación de Fauna Silvestre de Cantabria) ; Rossi, Luca (Università di Torino.

Departament de Medicina i Cirurgia Animals) ; Ramos Onsins, Sebastián Ernesto (Centre de Recerca en Agrigenòmica)
    Demodex mites are common commensals of mammalian skin, but under certain conditions, they can cause severe skin diseases. This study analyzed the presence, diversity, and phylogenetic relationships of Demodex species in two wolf subspecies from southern Europe to determine whether species-level differences exist between wild and domestic canids after thousands of years of divergence.

    12 p, 2.2 MB The Bacterial Wilt Reservoir Host Solanum dulcamara Shows Resistance to Ralstonia solanacearum Infection / Sebastià, Pau (Centre de Recerca en Agrigenòmica) ; de Pedro Jové, Roger (Centre de Recerca en Agrigenòmica) ; Daubech, Benoit (Centre de Recerca en Agrigenòmica) ; Kashyap, Anurag (Centre de Recerca en Agrigenòmica) ; Sánchez Coll, Núria (Centre de Recerca en Agrigenòmica) ; Valls, Marc (Centre de Recerca en Agrigenòmica)
    Ralstonia solanacearum causes bacterial wilt, a devastating plant disease, responsible for serious losses on many crop plants. R. solanacearum phylotype II-B1 strains have caused important outbreaks in temperate regions, where the pathogen has been identified inside asymptomatic bittersweet (Solanum dulcamara) plants near rivers and in potato fields.

    Unraveling the complexities of genomic data has revealed that the protein coding capacity of eukaryotic genomes has been underestimated. Eukaryotic genomes contain numerous unannotated short open reading frames (sORFs) that, localized in different types of RNA molecules, including long non-coding RNAs, may encode and produce biologically functional peptides.

    49 p, 1.3 MB Overdominance for fitness : A genomic comparison between empirical and simulated data with Drosophila melanogaster / González-Castellano, Inés (Universidade de Vigo. Centro de Investigación Mariña) ; Quesada, Humberto (Universidade de Vigo. Centro de Investigación Mariña) ; Ramos Onsins, Sebastián Ernesto (Centre de Recerca en Agrigenòmica) ; García Dorado, Aurora (Universidad Complutense de Madrid. Departamento de Genética, Fisiología y Microbiología) ; Caballero, Armando (Universidade de Vigo. Centro de Investigación Mariña)
    Overdominance (heterozygote advantage) for fitness is a form of balancing selection which supports the maintenance of genetic polymorphisms in the populations. This mode of selection is expected to generate a conspicuous footprint on neutral genetic variation in genomic regions of restricted recombination, which contrasts with the signature generated by other types of natural selection.

    Over the past century, research has significantly advanced our understanding of fruit respiration, from (eco)physiological processes to molecular mechanisms. This review focuses on the functional relevance and regulatory roles of mitochondrial alternative respiratory pathways (ARPs) during fruit growth and ripening. [...]
