| 1 | Chromosome-scale assembly of the Dendrobium chrysotoxum genome enhances the understanding of orchid evolution显示文摘As one of the largest families of angiosperms,the Orchidaceae family is diverse.Dendrobium represents the second largest genus of the Orchidaceae.However,an assembled high-quality genome of species in this genus is lacking.Here,we report a chromosome-scale reference genome of Dendrobium chrysotoxum,an important ornamental and medicinal orchid species.The assembled genome size of D.chrysotoxum was 1.37 Gb,with a contig N50 value of 1.54 Mb.Of the sequences,95.75%were anchored to 19 pseudochromosomes.There were 30,044 genes predicted in the D.chrysotoxum genome.Two whole-genome polyploidization events occurred in D.chrysotoxum.In terms of the second event,whole-genome duplication(WGD)was also found to have occurred in other Orchidaceae members,which diverged mainly via gene loss immediately after the WGD event occurred;the first duplication was found to have occurred in most monocots(tau event).We identified sugar transporter(SWEET)gene family expansion,which might be related to the abundant medicinal compounds and fleshy stems of D.chrysotoxum.MADS-box genes were identified in D.chrysotoxum,as well as members of TPS and Hsp90 gene families,which are associated with resistance,which may contribute to the adaptive evolution of orchids.We also investigated the interplay among carotenoid,ABA,and ethylene biosynthesis in D.chrysotoxum to elucidate the regulatory mechanisms of the short flowering period of orchids with yellow flowers.The reference D.chrysotoxum genome will provide important insights for further research on medicinal active ingredients and breeding and enhances the understanding of orchid evolution. | Yongxia Zhang Guo-Qiang Zhang Diyang Zhang Xue-Die Liu Xin-Yu Xu Wei-Hong Sun Xia Yu Xiaoen Zhu Zhi-Wen Wang Xiang Zhao Wen-Ying Zhong Hongfeng Chen Wei-Lun Yin Tengbo Huang Shan-Ce Niu Zhong-Jian Liu | 2021 | Horticulture Research2021，8，1： | 3 |
| 3 | Photothermal‑Triggered Structural Change of Nanofiber Scaffold Integrating with Graded Mineralization to Promote Tendon–Bone Healing显示文摘Scaffolds functionalized with graded changes in both fiber alignment and mineral content are more appealing for tendon-bone healing.This study reports the healing of rotator cuff injury using a heterogeneous nanofiber scaffold,which is associated with a structural gradating from aligned to random and an increasing gradient of mineral content in the same orientation.The photothermal-triggered structural change of a nanofiber scaffold followed by graded mineralization is key to constructing such scaffolds.This type of scaffold was found to be biocompatible and provide beneficial contact guidance in the manipulation of tendon-derived stem cell morphologies in vitro.Specifically,tenogenic and osteogenic differentiation of tendon-derived stem cells were simultaneously achieved using the fabricated scaffold.In vivo investigation also showed the improved healing of rabbit rotator cuff injuries based on immunohistochemical analysis and biomechanical investigation that indicates the promising potential of a dual-gradient nanofiber scaffold in clinical tendon-bone healing. | Chenghao Yu Tianrui Wang Hongcui Diao Na Liu Yi Zhang Hongyuan Jiang Peng Zhao Zhengyi Shan Zewen Sun Tong Wu Xiumei Mo Tengbo Yu | 2022 | Advanced Fiber Materials2022，4，4： | 0 |
