New approaches for capturing and estimating variation in complex animal color patterns from digital photographs: application to the Eastern Box Turtle (Terrapene carolina) by Erik Maki, Tilmann Glimm, Paramahansa Pramanik, Ylenia Chiari, Maria Kiskowski

“…The Eastern box turtle is an ideal species to study variation of complex color patterns as this species is easily encountered in the field and in museum collections in Northeastern US, has a relatively easy to identify bright color pattern against a dark background, and has a rigid shell structure, which removes problems related to body distortion. …”

Comparative genomic analysis reveals the difference of NLR immune receptors between anthracnose-resistant and susceptible sorghum cultivars by Ji-Wei Zhang, Jin-Yang Li, Zhi-Fan Yu, Xin-Ya Chang, Jun-Ru Han, Jing-Yang Xia, Yam Bahadur Kami, Yuan-Tao Sun, Ling Li, Song-Tao Wang, Xian-Lin Ni, He Wang, Yan Li, Wen-Ming Wang

“…Although the collinear NLRs are highly conserved between GJH1 and BTx623, more than half of the non-collinear NLRs showed notable mutations or structural variations. During C. sublineola infection, BTx623 exhibited a higher number of highly expressed and inducible NLR genes than GJH1 did. …”

Insights into infraspecific differentiation of the medicinally important species Bupleurum Chinense revealed by morphological and molecular evidence by Fang Li, Kaiying Ge, Rong Huang, Yi Lu, Huihui Lin, Yanfengyang Jiang, Enwei Tian, Zhi Chao

“…Although plastid genome sequencing of 40 specimens showed high sequence identity, population structure analysis detected variable hotspots. Both maximum likelihood (ML) tree and population structure results consistently identified three distinct clades, which mirrored the patterns observed in morphological clustering. …”
