The Dynamics of Long Terminal Repeat Retrotransposon Proliferation and Decay Drive the Evolution of Genome Size Variation in Capsicum by Qian Liu, Pinbo Liu, Shenghui Wang, Jian Yang, Liangying Dai, Jingyuan Zheng, Yunsheng Wang

“…<i>Capsicum</i> (pepper) is an economically vital genus in the <i>Solanaceae</i> family, with most species possessing about 3 Gb genomes. However, the recently sequenced <i>Capsicum rhomboideum</i> (~1.7 Gb) represents the first reported case of an extremely compact genome in <i>Capsicum</i>, providing a unique and ideal model for studying genome size evolution. …”

Competition mechanism of dynamic recrystallization and recovery and microstructure evolution of TC4 alloy during warm deformation by Hao Su, Tiexin Liu, Jie Kang, Lei Li, Ru Su, Bo Lv, Chunlei Zheng, Fucheng Zhang

“…This study systematically investigated the warm deformation behavior of TC4 alloy in the α+β dual-phase region (650–800 °C, 0.1–5 s−1) using a thermomechanical simulator, elucidating the temperature-strain rate dependence of the competitive mechanisms between dynamic recrystallization (DRX) and dynamic recovery (DRV), along with their governing effects on microstructural evolution. The results demonstrate that flow stress significantly decreases with increasing temperature and decreasing strain rate, accompanied by enhanced DRX capability, with the most intense DRX activity observed at 800 °C. …”
