The chromosome-scale reference genome of mirid bugs (Adelphocoris suturalis) genome provides insights into omnivory, insecticide resistance, and survival adaptation
- Date: 19 September, 2023
- Journal: BMC Biology
- Authors: Zhongping Xu, Guanying Wang, Jing Luo, Mingju Zhu, Lisong Hu, Sijia Liang, Bo Li, Xingxing Huang, Ying Wang, Guangyu Zhang, Can Zhang, Yi Zhou, Daojun Yuan, Taiyu Chen, Lizhen Chen, Weihua Ma, Wei Gao, Keith Lindsey, Xianlong Zhang, Fang Ding & Shuangxia Jin
- Results: The resulting 1.29 Gb assembly contains twelve chromosomal pseudomolecules with an N50 of 1.4 and 120.6 Mb for the contigs and scaffolds, respectively, and carries 20,010 protein-coding genes. The considerable size of the A. suturalis genome is predominantly attributed to a high amount of retrotransposons, especially long interspersed nuclear elements (LINEs).

Single-cell resolution analysis reveals the preparation for reprogramming the fate of stem cell niche in cotton lateral meristem
- Date: 25 August, 2023
- Journal: Genome Biology
- Authors: Xiangqian Zhu, Zhongping Xu, Guanying Wang, Yulong Cong, Lu Yu, Ruoyu Jia, Yuan Qin, Guangyu Zhang, Bo Li, Daojun Yuan, Lili Tu, Xiyan Yang, Keith Lindsey, Xianlong Zhang & Shuangxia Jin
- Results: We generate a high-resolution single-cell transcriptomic landscape of hypocotyl tissue from the highly regenerable cotton genotype Jin668 and the recalcitrant TM-1. We identify nine putative cell clusters and 23 cluster-specific marker genes for both cultivars and find that the primary vascular cell is the major cell type that undergoes cell fate transition in response to external stimulation. Further developmental trajectory and gene regulatory network analysis of these cell clusters reveals that a total of 41 hormone response-related genes, including LAX2, LAX1, and LOX3, exhibit different expression patterns in the primary xylem and cambium region of Jin668 and TM-1. We also identify novel genes, including CSEF, PIS1, AFB2, ATHB2, PLC2, and PLT3, that are involved in regeneration.
