Cytoplasmic male sterility and prospects for its utilization in breeding, genetic studies and seed production of potato by I. N. Anisimova, T. A. Gavrilenko

“…The results of investigating genetic control of male sterility in potato are presented that have been carried out using conventional approaches (hybridological analysis) and led to the formation of the concept of genic cytoplasmic male sterility in some species of section Petota of the genus Solanum. The characteristics of potato cytoplasms types which are associated with male sterility are given. …”

Gut microbiota in the association between obesity and kidney function decline: a metagenomics-based study in a rat model by Akehu Alemasi, Lijiang Gu, Yilun Zhou

“…Metagenomics analysis revealed a notable rise in the prevalence of the Firmicutes phylum within the HFD group, primarily comprising the Rumenococcus genus. Functional analysis indicated that the gut microbiota in the HFD group primarily correlated with infectious diseases, signal transduction, and signaling molecules and interactions.Conclusions This study provides evidence that the consumption of a HFD induces modifications in the composition and functionality of the gut microbiome in rats, which may serve as a potential mechanism underlying the relationship between obesity and the progression of kidney function decline.…”
