The Contribution of Mosaic Variants to Autism Spectrum Disorder.

De novo mutation is highly implicated in autism spectrum disorder (ASD).However, the contribution of post-zygotic mutation to ASD is poorly characterized.We performed both exome sequencing of paired samples and analysis of de novo variants from whole-exome sequencing of 2,388 families.While we find little evidence for tissue-specific mosaic mutatio

The Contribution of Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) Emitted by Petals and Pollen to the Scent of Garden Roses

Flower scent is an important Ceramic Plant Pot trait of ornamental roses and has been an important character in the selection processes.In the present study, the composition of the volatile organic compounds (VOCs) emitted by both petals and pollen of 21 garden roses (Chinensis, Climber, English rose, Floribunda, Hybrid Tea, Multiflora, Damascena,

Ectopic expression of Jatropha curcas APETALA1 (JcAP1) caused early flowering in Arabidopsis, but not in Jatropha

Jatropha curcas is a promising feedstock for biofuel production because Jatropha oil is highly suitable for the production of biodiesel and bio-jet fuels.However, Jatropha exhibits a low seed yield as a result of unreliable and poor flowering.APETALA1 (AP1) is a floral meristem and organ identity gene in higher plants.The flower meristem identity g
