Morphological and Molecular Identification of New Puccinia Species from Qinghai, China
Rust fungi of the genus Puccinia are important plant pathogens responsible for substantial economic losses in agriculture and forestry. During field surveys conducted in Qinghai Province, China, a novel rust species, Puccinia ligulari-przewalskii, was discovered parasitizing Ligu...

Genome-Wide Association Study and Genomic Selection for Average Daily Gain in Ashidan Yak
Average daily gain (ADG) is a core quantitative trait determining the economic benefits of Ashidan yak, a polled new breed adapted to cold barn feeding on the Qinghai–Tibet Plateau. Unraveling its complex genetic architecture is crucial for early molecular breeding selection. In...

Transcriptional Reshaping of Bacteriocytes in the Aphid–Serratia Symbiosis
The facultative endosymbiont Serratia symbiotica significantly influences the ecological fitness of its aphid host. However, the molecular mechanisms by which Serratia affects the host’s symbiotic organ, the bacteriocyte, remain poorly understood. Here, we conducted a comparative...
