Open AccessLoss of glucosylceramide synthase impairs the growth and virulence of Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. cubense
Glucosylceramides are a class of membrane lipids that serve as vital structural and signaling molecules in eukaryotes. In this study, we explored the function of FocGCS, a glucosylceramide synthase (GCS) in Fusar...

Dominant Contribution of Northern Chinese to the Paternal Genetic Structure of Chaoshanese in South China
We investigated the Y chromosome of various Chinese populations to determine the patrilineal origin of the Chaoshanese population. Admixture analysis of six specific Y short tandem repeat (STR) loci in 6,292 i...
