This document summarizes pilot studies on peach conducted for the FruitBreedomics project. The objective was to verify the efficiency of MAS selection by screening 1500 trees from public and private partners for quality and resistance traits using SNP markers. Traits like flesh color, shape, acidity level, and resistance to aphids and powdery mildew were studied. Genotyping was performed using KASP technology. Results showed good prediction efficiency for resistance to green peach aphid and several quality traits, demonstrating the effectiveness of MAS. Further analysis of data and development of additional markers is needed to finalize the approach.

Rice breeding is both challenged and benefited by the fact that a successful varietal improvement program must embrace both the integration single genes that segregate in a simple Mendelian fashion as well as complex traits that are inherited in more quantitative ways. For decades the rice genetics community has produced a wealth of knowledge about these single genes and has developed markers that allow a breeder to track them in a population. However, marker assisted selection (MAS) alone is insufficient to drive the rates of genetic gain for more complex traits that are equally necessary. This presentation will describe the attempts made in the Favorable Environments Breeding program at IRRI to integrate the selection for single genes appropriate for MAS into a more complex population improvement strategy designed to improve quantitatively inherited traits.

Genomics-enabled early generation selection in peanut breeding pipelineICRISAT
Early generation selection in segregating peanut populations used markers linked to high oleic acid, rust and late leaf spot (LLS) resistance coupled with near-infrared reflectance spectroscopy (NIRS) for high oleic trait for selection decisions. Techniques such as rapid generation advancement, recycling of elite lines as parents, and early generation and multi-location testing in target sites resulted in an enhanced genetic gain for the high oleic trait. The significant outcomes are combining early maturity with foliar fungal disease resistance, and agronomically superior high oleic lines. For the 100-seed mass, a genetic gain of 17 g was achieved, from 35 g in 2015 to 52 g in 2017, through recycling of elite lines along with directional selection for seed size in the high oleic breeding pipeline. Superior performing high oleic as well as early maturing rust and LLS resistant lines are under national testing for release in India.
(May 29th, 2024) Advancements in Intravital Microscopy- Insights for Preclini...Scintica Instrumentation
Intravital microscopy (IVM) is a powerful tool utilized to study cellular behavior over time and space in vivo. Much of our understanding of cell biology has been accomplished using various in vitro and ex vivo methods; however, these studies do not necessarily reflect the natural dynamics of biological processes. Unlike traditional cell culture or fixed tissue imaging, IVM allows for the ultra-fast high-resolution imaging of cellular processes over time and space and were studied in its natural environment. Real-time visualization of biological processes in the context of an intact organism helps maintain physiological relevance and provide insights into the progression of disease, response to treatments or developmental processes.
In this webinar we give an overview of advanced applications of the IVM system in preclinical research. IVIM technology is a provider of all-in-one intravital microscopy systems and solutions optimized for in vivo imaging of live animal models at sub-micron resolution. The system’s unique features and user-friendly software enables researchers to probe fast dynamic biological processes such as immune cell tracking, cell-cell interaction as well as vascularization and tumor metastasis with exceptional detail. This webinar will also give an overview of IVM being utilized in drug development, offering a view into the intricate interaction between drugs/nanoparticles and tissues in vivo and allows for the evaluation of therapeutic intervention in a variety of tissues and organs. This interdisciplinary collaboration continues to drive the advancements of novel therapeutic strategies.

Introduction:
RNA interference (RNAi) or Post-Transcriptional Gene Silencing (PTGS) is an important biological process for modulating eukaryotic gene expression.
It is highly conserved process of posttranscriptional gene silencing by which double stranded RNA (dsRNA) causes sequence-specific degradation of mRNA sequences.
dsRNA-induced gene silencing (RNAi) is reported in a wide range of eukaryotes ranging from worms, insects, mammals and plants.
This process mediates resistance to both endogenous parasitic and exogenous pathogenic nucleic acids, and regulates the expression of protein-coding genes.
What are small ncRNAs?
micro RNA (miRNA)
short interfering RNA (siRNA)
Properties of small non-coding RNA:
Involved in silencing mRNA transcripts.
Called “small” because they are usually only about 21-24 nucleotides long.
Synthesized by first cutting up longer precursor sequences (like the 61nt one that Lee discovered).
Silence an mRNA by base pairing with some sequence on the mRNA.
Discovery of siRNA?
The first small RNA:
In 1993 Rosalind Lee (Victor Ambros lab) was studying a non- coding gene in C. elegans, lin-4, that was involved in silencing of another gene, lin-14, at the appropriate time in the
development of the worm C. elegans.
Two small transcripts of lin-4 (22nt and 61nt) were found to be complementary to a sequence in the 3' UTR of lin-14.
Because lin-4 encoded no protein, she deduced that it must be these transcripts that are causing the silencing by RNA-RNA interactions.
Types of RNAi ( non coding RNA)
MiRNA
Length (23-25 nt)
Trans acting
Binds with target MRNA in mismatch
Translation inhibition
Si RNA
Length 21 nt.
Cis acting
Bind with target Mrna in perfect complementary sequence
Piwi-RNA
Length ; 25 to 36 nt.
Expressed in Germ Cells
Regulates trnasposomes activity
MECHANISM OF RNAI:
First the double-stranded RNA teams up with a protein complex named Dicer, which cuts the long RNA into short pieces.
Then another protein complex called RISC (RNA-induced silencing complex) discards one of the two RNA strands.
The RISC-docked, single-stranded RNA then pairs with the homologous mRNA and destroys it.
THE RISC COMPLEX:
RISC is large(>500kD) RNA multi- protein Binding complex which triggers MRNA degradation in response to MRNA
Unwinding of double stranded Si RNA by ATP independent Helicase
Active component of RISC is Ago proteins( ENDONUCLEASE) which cleave target MRNA.
DICER: endonuclease (RNase Family III)
Argonaute: Central Component of the RNA-Induced Silencing Complex (RISC)
One strand of the dsRNA produced by Dicer is retained in the RISC complex in association with Argonaute
ARGONAUTE PROTEIN :
1.PAZ(PIWI/Argonaute/ Zwille)- Recognition of target MRNA
2.PIWI (p-element induced wimpy Testis)- breaks Phosphodiester bond of mRNA.)RNAse H activity.
MiRNA:
The Double-stranded RNAs are naturally produced in eukaryotic cells during development, and they have a key role in regulating gene expression .
Multi-source connectivity as the driver of solar wind variability in the heli...Sérgio Sacani
The ambient solar wind that flls the heliosphere originates from multiple
sources in the solar corona and is highly structured. It is often described
as high-speed, relatively homogeneous, plasma streams from coronal
holes and slow-speed, highly variable, streams whose source regions are
under debate. A key goal of ESA/NASA’s Solar Orbiter mission is to identify
solar wind sources and understand what drives the complexity seen in the
heliosphere. By combining magnetic feld modelling and spectroscopic
techniques with high-resolution observations and measurements, we show
that the solar wind variability detected in situ by Solar Orbiter in March
2022 is driven by spatio-temporal changes in the magnetic connectivity to
multiple sources in the solar atmosphere. The magnetic feld footpoints
connected to the spacecraft moved from the boundaries of a coronal hole
to one active region (12961) and then across to another region (12957). This
is refected in the in situ measurements, which show the transition from fast
to highly Alfvénic then to slow solar wind that is disrupted by the arrival of
a coronal mass ejection. Our results describe solar wind variability at 0.5 au
but are applicable to near-Earth observatories.

Editor's Notes
Partners involved in the peach pilot studies:
Public institutes were responsible for the coaching of their respective private partners
→ A list of traits/genes has been established (T1.2) during the kick-off meeting of the project which takes account of the needs expressed by stakeholders (T1.1)
→ Two complementary approaches were used to identify candidate markers coming from ISPC 9K SNP array (1-7SNPs/locus) for Marker-assisted selection purposes
by DNA tests
The 96 wells have to be sealed with a membrane allowing the circulation of air, the so sealed 96 well have to be placed in a plastic bag containing a paper bag filled with silica gel, and the plastic bag has to be hermetically closed removing as much as possible air. In this way the leaf discs will dry. From this material DNA will be extracted. The company proved to be able to test both young and old leaves.
for predict the phenotypes of offsprings based on the SNP markers,
