This paper presents the de novo genome and transcriptome of the Japanese rhinoceros beetle Trypoxylus dichotomus, providing comprehensive genomic resources for evolutionary and functional studies.

The paper identifies a male-sterile gene (MS1) in Japanese cedar by analyzing deletions in a lipid transfer protein gene and proposes marker-assisted selection for breeding.

The paper develops PCR and LAMP markers to detect mutant alleles of the MS1 gene in Cryptomeria japonica for pollen-free cultivar production.

The paper examines the phylogenetic distribution and expression of atypical rDNA in Rhizophagus fungi, finding host-specific expression and variation enrichment in ES27L.

The paper reports the discovery of non-tandemly repeated rDNAs and their intragenomic heterogeneity in Rhizophagus irregularis, suggesting a link to adaptation and environmental response.
