Lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) is the leading histological subtype of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).

In the present study, the gene matrixes of LUAD were downloaded from The Cancer Genome Atlas to infer immune and stromal scores with the 'Estimation of Stromal and Immune cells in Malignant Tumor tissues using Expression data' (ESTIMATE) algorithm and identified immune-related differentially expressed genes (DEGs) between the high- and low-stromal/immune score groups. Next, all DEGs were subjected to univariate Cox regression and survival analyses to screen out prognostic biomarkers in the tumor microenvironment (TME), and were validated in the Gene Expression Omnibus database. Single-sample gene set enrichment analysis (ssGSEA) was performed to assess the level of tumor-infiltrating immune cells (TIICs) and immune functions, and GSEA was used to identified pathways altered by prognostic biomarkers.

Survival analysis showed that LUAD in the high-immune and stromal score group had a better clinical prognosis. A total of 303 immune-related DEGs were detected. Univariate Cox regression and survival analyses revealed that P2Y purinoceptor 13 (P2RY13) was a favorable factor for the prognosis of LUAD. ssGSEA and Spearman correlation analysis demonstrated that P2RY13 was highly correlated with various TIICs and immune functions. Several immune-associated pathways were enriched between the high- and low-expression P2RY13 groups.

P2RY13 may be a potential prognostic indicator and is highly associated with the TME in LUAD. However, further experimental studies are required to validate the present findings.

Despite their importance, many meadows are in decline, driven by a variety of anthropogenic impacts. While these declines have been well documented in some regions, other locations (particularly within the tropics) lack long-term monitoring programs needed to resolve seagrass trends over time. Effective and spatially-expansive monitoring within under-represented regions is critical to provide an accurate perspective on seagrass status and trends. We present a comprehensive dataset on seagrass coverage and composition across 24 sites in Bahía Almirante, a lagoon along the Caribbean coast of Panama. Using a single survey, we focus on capturing spatial variation in seagrass physical and elemental characteristics and provide data on key seagrass bio-indicators, such as leaf morphology (length and width), elemental content (% nitrogen and phosphorus) and stable isotopic signatures (δ 13C and δ 15N). We furt and showed no correlation with shoreline proximity, suggesting that N sources within the bay were not dominated by localized point-source discharge of treated sewage. Correlations between other seagrass bio-indicators and environmental metrics were mixed seagrass cover declined with depth, while biomass was negatively correlated with N, indicating that light and nutrient availability may jointly regulate seagrass cover and biomass. Our work documents the response of seagrass in Bahía Almirante to light and nutrient availability and highlights the eutrophic status of this bay. Using the broad spatial coverage of our survey as a baseline, we suggest the future implementation of a continuous and spatially expansive seagrass monitoring program within this region to assess the health of these important systems subject to global and local stressors.
The mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) has been extensively used for phylogenetic and evolutionary analysis in Diptera, but the study of mitogenome is still scarce in the family Chironomidae.

Here, the first complete mitochondrial genomes of four Chironomid species representing Diamesinae, Orthocladiinae, Prodiamesinae and Tanypodinae are presented. Coupled with published mitogenomes of two, a comparative mitochondrial genomic analysis between six subfamilies of Chironomidae was carried out.

Mitogenomes of Chironomidae are conserved in structure, each contains 37 typical genes and a control region, and all genes arrange the same gene order as the ancestral insect mitogenome. Nucleotide composition is highly biased, the control region displayed the highest A+T content. All protein coding genes are under purifying selection, and the ATP8 evolves at the fastest rate. In addition, the phylogenetic analysis covering six subfamilies within Chironomidae was conducted. The monophyly of Chironomidae is strongly sorphological and molecular studies. This may be due to the high mutation rate of the mitochondrial genetic markers within Chironomidae. Our results indicate that mitogenomes showed poor signals in phylogenetic reconstructions at the subfamily level of Chironomidae.
NAC (NAM, ATAF1/2, and CUC2) transcription factors play an important role in plant growth and development. However, in tumorous stem mustard (

family genes are lacking. In this study, we conducted a genome-wide investigation of the
family genes in

The

using the bioinformatics approach on the whole genome level. Additionally, the expression of
genes was analyzed under high- and low-temperature stresses by quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR).

A total of 300

NAC proteins revealed that all
genes were divided into 18 subgroups. Furthermore, gene structure analysis showed that most of the
genes contaed that thirteen BjuNAC genes with a varying degree of up-regulation during high-temperature stress. Conversely, four BjuNAC genes (BjuNAC006, BjuNAC083, BjuNAC170 and BjuNAC223) were up-regulated and two BjuNAC genes (BjuNAC074 and BjuNAC295) down-regulated under low temperature, respectively. Together, the results of this study provide a strong foundation for future investigation of the biological function of NAC genes in B. juncea var. tumida.
