White clover (Trifolium repens L.) is an important lawngrass of good quality. Sequence transcriptome analysis was performed at the vegetative and flowering stages using high-throughput sequencing technology to investigate the genetic basis of secondary metabolite synthesis in white clover. The results showed that the number of upregulated genes increased significantly in the flowering stage compared to the vegetative stage. Through Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) enrichment and transcriptome analyses, we found that flavonoid and terpenoid synthesis pathways affected the growth and development of white clover. Expression of the DXP terpenoid synthesis pathway was higher at the vegetative stage than at the flowering stage. Analysis of the major pathways of flavonoid synthesis showed that the expression of flavonoid synthesis genes significantly increased at the flowering stage. To further verify the function of CHS, a key gene in the flavonoid synthesis pathway, we carried out a transgenic analysis of CHS in white clover. This study showed that CHS gene expression and flavonoid content significantly increased in transgenic tobacco. These results provide a solid theoretical basis for future research on the growth and development of white clover and breeding.

K-mer-Based Genome Size Estimation in Alectoris chukar and Francolinus francolinus: Insights from Whole-Genome Sequencing
Department of Animal Production, College of Agricultural Engineering Sciences, University of Duhok, 42001, Duhok City, Iraq
Correspondence to S. I. Mustafa
Avian genomes are remarkably conserved in size, though subtle interspecific differences may reflect evolutionary adaptations. We employed k-mer analysis to estimate genome sizes of two galliform species Alectoris chukar and Francolinus francolinus using whole-genome sequencing data processed via Meryl on the Galaxy platform. Our results revealed that Francolinus francolinus has a consistently larger genome (1.16–1.17 Gb) than Alectoris chukar (1.13–1.15 Gb). The minimal variation (<2%) between estimates from 19-mer and 21-mer analyses supports the robustness of this computational method. Both datasets were sequenced at depths exceeding 40× and 100×, respectively, well above the recommended 25× threshold for reliable genome size estimation. This study establishes the first genome size estimates for these species through k-mer frequency analysis, demonstrating that k-mer-based quantification serves as a robust and reliable alternative to conventional cytometric methods for genome size determination. These findings establish a genomic baseline for future comparative studies of Galliformes and demonstrate the utility of short-read sequencing combined with k-mer analysis in avian genomics.

Equus kiang is a robust equid and the only odd-toed wild ungulate endemic to the Tibetan Plateau. It belongs to the order Perissodactyla, the family Equidae, and the genus Equus. In India, it is found exclusively in the Ladakh region within the Changthang Wildlife Sanctuary. In our research, we employed a non-invasive genetic approach to unravel the genetic diversity and to resolve the phylogeny of species by using partial mtDNA D-loop sequence information. A total of 33 samples were amplified and sequenced, and a final 27 D-loop partial sequences of ~230 bp were used for further analysis. The E. kiang population from Changthang Wildlife Sanctuary harbours moderate genetic diversity, displaying haplotype diversity of 0.501 with the discovery of two haplotypes. The phylogenetic tree constructed indicated the monophyletic clade of the two haplotypes with other E. kiang sequences. The median-joining network analysis revealed a gene flow across the border where the haplotypes from Ladakh displayed haplotype sharing with the Southern Tibet haplotype. Based on our results, we can conclude that the E. kiang population in the Changthang Wildlife Sanctuary showcases a moderate genetic diversity, supporting the IUCN Least-Concern status of the species, and demonstrates gene flow with the nearby regions of Tibet.
