Abstract
Self-incompatibility plays a vital role in angiosperms, by preventing inbreeding depression and maintaining genetic diversity within populations. Following polyploidization, many angiosperm species transition from self-incompatibility to self-compatibility. Here, we investigated the S-locus in Brassicaceae and identified distinct origins for the sRNA loci, SMI and SMI2 (SCR Methylation Inducer 1 and 2), within the S-locus. The SMI loci were found to be widespread in Cruciferae, whereas the SMI2 loci were exclusive to Brassica species. Additionally, we discovered four major S-haplotypes (BnS-1, BnS-6, BnS-7, and BnS-1300) in rapeseed. Overexpression of BnSMI-1 in self-incompatible Brassica napus ('S-70S1300S6 ') resulted in a significant increase in DNA methylation in the promoter regions of BnSCR-6 and BnSCR-1300, leading to self-compatibility. Conversely, by overexpressing a point mutation of BnSmi-1 in the 'S-70S1300S6 ' line, we observed lower levels of DNA methylation in BnSCR-6 and BnSCR-1300 promoters. Furthermore, the overexpression of BnSMI2-1300 in the 'SI-326S7S6 ' line inhibited the expression of BnSCR-7 through transcriptional repression of the Smi2 sRNA from the BnS-1300 haplotype. Our study demonstrates that the self-compatibility of rapeseed is determined by S-locus sRNA-mediated silencing of SCR after polyploidization, which helps to further breed self-incompatible or self-compatible rapeseed lines, thereby facilitating the utilization of heterosis.

Abstract
RATIONALE It is very likely that we will miss Bing-Neel syndrome (BNS) when its initial sign is anemia.Patient concerns: A 59-year-old woman presented with episodic loss of consciousness, anemia, and extremity muscle strength scores (5-) and extremity tendon reflexes (++). DIAGNOSES Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) showed abnormal signal in the left hippocampus, left insula, and right occipital lobe. Quantitative serum immunoglobulins showed elevated immunoglobulinm (IgM) (60.6g/L). Bone marrow biopsy showed lymphoplasmacytic lymphoma (LPL) and tested positive for the MYD88 L265P mutation suggesting Waldenström macroglobulinemia (WM). INTERVENTIONS The patient underwent 3 plasma exchange treatments in the department of hematology followed by chemotherapy (cyclophosphamide for injection, bortezomib for injection). OUTCOMES The patient's condition improved after treatment. LESSONS Clinicians must remain vigilant, as BNS may be the only sign of WM progression in a patient well-controlled on treatment.

Abstract
Salt stress affects the plant growth and productivity worldwide and NHX is one of those genes that are well known to improve salt tolerance in transgenic plants. It is well characterized in several plants, such as Arabidopsis thaliana and cotton; however, not much is known about NHXs in tea plant. In the present study, NHX genes of tea were obtained through a genome-wide search using A. thaliana as reference genome. Out of the 9 NHX genes in tea, 7 genes were localized in vacuole while the remaining 2 genes were localized in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER; CsNHX8) and plasma membrane (PM; CsNHX9), respectively. Furthermore, phylogenetic relationships along with structural analysis which includes gene structure, location, and protein-conserved motifs and domains were systematically examined and further, predictions were validated by the expression analysis. The dN/dS values show that the majority of tea NHX genes is subjected to strong purifying selection under the course of evolution. Also, functional interaction was carried out in Camellia sinensis based on the orthologous genes in A. thaliana. The expression profiles linked to various stress treatments revealed wide involvement of NHX genes from tea in response to various abiotic factors. This study provides the targets for further comprehensive identification, functional study, and also contributed for a better understanding of the NHX regulatory network in C. sinensis.
