Complete sequencing of the mitochondrial genome of tea plant Camellia sinensis cv. ‘Baihaozao’: multichromosomal structure, phylogenetic relationships, and adaptive evolutionary an... by Zhiyin Chen, Zhiyin Chen, Zhiyin Chen, Zhiyin Chen, Zixu Wang, Zixu Wang, Zixu Wang, Zixu Wang, Wei Zhou, Wei Zhou, Wei Zhou, Wei Zhou, Sijie Liu, Sijie Liu, Sijie Liu, Sijie Liu, Yuxin Xiao, Yuxin Xiao, Yuxin Xiao, Yuxin Xiao, Yihui Gong, Yihui Gong, Yihui Gong, Yihui Gong

“…Additionally, 1.62% of the mitochondrial genome sequence was homologous to the chloroplast genome, carrying 26 complete functional genes, including 15 tRNA and 2 rRNA genes.DiscussionCodon usage bias may be related to mutation pressure due to the high AT content of the genome or reflect adaptive selection pressures for translational efficiency. The Ka/Ks results align with the widespread purifying selection observed in mitochondrial genomes, while the high Ka/Ks ratio of the mttB gene suggests it might be under positive selection to adapt to environmental pressures. …”

A lightweight verifiable outsourced decryption of attribute-based encryption scheme for blockchain-enabled wireless body area network in fog computing by Rui Guo, Chaoyuan Zhuang, Huixian Shi, Yinghui Zhang, Dong Zheng

“…The proposal provides the verifiability of ciphertext that ensures the user to check the correctness efficiently. (2) The size of the ciphertext is constant that is not increased with the complexity of attribute and access structure. (3) For Internet of Things devices, it introduces the fog computing into our protocol for the purpose of low latency and relation interactions, which has virtually saved the bandwidth. (4) With the help of blockchain technique, we encapsulate the hash value of public parameter, original and transformed ciphertext and transformed key into a block, so that the tamper-resistance is facilitated against an adversary from inside and outside the system. (5) In the standard model, we prove that it is selectively chosen-plaintext attack-secure and verifiable provided that the computational bilinear Diffie–Hellman assumption holds. (6) It implements this protocol and shows the result of performance measurement, which indicates a significant reduction on communication and computation costs burden on every entity in wireless body area network.…”
