EXPLORING QUANTITATIVE TRAIT NUCLEOTIDES ASSOCIATED WITH RESPONSE TO YAM MOSAIC VIRUS SEVERITY AND TUBER YIELD TRAITS IN DIOSCOREA PRAEHENSILIS BENTH. GERMPLASM VIA GENOME-WIDE ASSOCIATION SCANNING

Exploring quantitative trait nucleotides associated with response to yam mosaic virus severity and tuber yield traits in Dioscorea praehensilis Benth. germplasm via genome-wide association scanning

BackgroundYam production in sub-Saharan African countries faces challenges due to susceptibility to yam mosaic virus (YMV) disease, leading to significant yield losses.Dioscorea praehensilis, a semi-cultivated yam species known for its high yield and resistance to YMV, can be utilized as a new variety and a gene source to enhance tuber yield and YM

Hepatic vein thrombosis secondary to COVID-19

COVID-19 is known to cause both arterial and venous thromboembolism.Although a lot of attention is being given to those presenting with myocardial infarction and stroke, splanchnic vein thrombosis which includes portal, mesenteric, Back Up Alarm splenic, and hepatic vein thrombosis is often underreported.A 21-year-old female presented with progress

Defects in mitochondrial fission protein dynamin-related protein 1 are linked to apoptotic resistance and autophagy in a lung cancer model.

Evasion of apoptosis is implicated in almost all aspects of cancer progression, as well as treatment resistance.In this study, resistance to apoptosis was identified in tumorigenic lung epithelial (A549) cells as a consequence of defects in mitochondrial and autophagic function.Mitochondrial function is determined in part by mitochondrial morpholog
