Abstract Chinese fir (Cunninghamia lanceolata) is a cornerstone timber species in China. It has been cultivated for millennia and introduced globally. Here, we present a high-quality chromosome-scale reference genome, revealing a recent burst of transposable elements during the Pliocene. While no whole-genome duplications are observed, tandem and proximal gene duplications expand families linked to environmental adaptation.

Abstract Background: Preeclampsia (PE) is a pregnancy-related hypertensive disorder and a leading cause of maternal and perinatal mortality. Current treatments focus primarily on symptom management, as delivery remains the only definitive cure. This underscores the urgent need for innovative therapeutic strategies. Cytokines released by placental immune cells may contribute to the progression of PE and represent promising therapeutic targets.

1. Introduction Today, soil salinization is a widespread soil degradation and land desertification phenomenon [1]. It is a negative result of the movement of soil salts caused by a combination of natural conditions such as different surface morphologies, climatic conditions, and hydrological factors [2,3].
