Three-loop inverse scotogenic seesaw models

We propose a class of models providing an explanation of the origin of light neutrino masses, the baryon asymmetry of the Universe via leptogenesis and offering viable dark matter candidates. In these models the Majorana masses of the active neutrino are generated by the inverse seesaw mechanism with the lepton number violating right-handed Majorana neutrino masses μ arising at three loops. The latter is ensured by the preserved discrete symmetries, which also guarantee the stability of the dark matter candidate. We focus on one of these models and perform a detailed analysis of the phenomenology of its leptonic sector. The model can successfully accommodate baryogenesis through leptogenesis in both weak and strong washout regimes. The lightest heavy fermion turns out to be a viable dark matter candidate, provided that the entries of the Majorana submatrix μ are in the keV to MeV range. The solutions are consistent with the experimental constraints, accommodating both mass orderings for active neutrinos, in particular charged-lepton flavor violating decays μ → eγ, μ → eee, and the electron-muon conversion processes get sizable rates within future sensitivity reach.

Electrophoretic deposition of ceramic coatings from modified suspensions of microsized powders of doped BaCeO3 and BaCeO3–BaZrO3 proton-conducting electrolytes

This work investigates the influence of molecular iodine introduced as a charging agent into the suspensions based on the BaCe0.8Sm0.19Cu0·01O3 (BCSCuO), BaCe0·5Zr0·3Y0.1Yb0.1O3-δ (BCZYYbO) and BaCe0.89Gd0.1Cu0·01O3-δ (BCGCuO) proton-conducting electrolytes at concentrations up to 1.0 g/L on their electrokinetic properties. The peculiarities of changes in zeta potential, pH, conductivity of the suspensions, the thickness and morphology of the coatings depending on the amount of iodine added are determined. It has been established that when the iodine concentration increases to 1 g/L, the electrical charge of the particles and the sign of the zeta potential undergo a reversal. Additionally, there is a natural decrease in the pH value towards the acidic side and a corresponding increase in the suspension conductivity. The research has demonstrated that in the suspension with a high iodine content (1 g/L), cathodic and anodic deposition can occur simultaneously under electrophoretic deposition (EPD) conditions at low voltage values (below 8 V). However, as the voltage increases, only cathodic deposition occurs. Therefore, the impact of altering the type of the EPD is threshold in nature relative to the magnitude of the EPD voltage. It has been shown that in order to practically implement EPD of ceramic coatings from modified suspensions of microsized powders of doped BaCeO3 and BaCeO3–BaZrO3 proton-conducting electrolytes, it is necessary to select a small amount of added iodine (0.1–0.2 g/L) to initiate a stable deposition process and to ensure continuity and uniformity of the coatings. This article discusses possible mechanisms of zeta potential inversion, electrophoretic mobility, and the EPD nature under conditions of high concentrations of iodide ions in the suspension bulk. The experiments have demonstrated the viability of the EPD process for the formation of a uniform BCSCuO coating (∼10 μm) on a supporting NiO–BCSCuO anode substrate using an iodine-modified suspension. This coating was subsequently sintered into a dense ceramic film at 1450 °C. In addition to the fundamental significance, the study results have implications for the practical use to improve and simplify the thin-film SOFC technology.

Inverse bremsstrahlung absorption rate for super-Gaussian electron distribution functions including plasma screening.

We provide analytic expressions for the effective Coulomb logarithm for inverse bremsstrahlung absorption which predict significant corrections to the Langdon effect and overall absorption rate compared to previous estimates. The calculation of the collisional absorption rate of laser energy in a plasma by the inverse bremsstrahlung mechanism usually makes the approximation of a constant Coulomb logarithm. We dispense with this approximation and instead take into account the velocity dependence of the Coulomb logarithm, leading to a more accurate expression for the absorption rate valid in both classical and quantum conditions. In contrast to previous work, the laser intensity enters into the Coulomb logarithm. In most laser-plasma interactions the electron distribution function is super-Gaussian [Langdon, Phys. Rev. Lett. 44, 575 (1980)0031-900710.1103/PhysRevLett.44.575], and we find the absorption rate under these conditions is increased by as much as ≈30% compared to previous estimates at low density. In many cases of interest the correction to Langdon's predicted reduction in absorption is large; for example at Z=6 and T_{e}=400eV the Langdon prediction for the absorption is in error by a factor of ≈2. However, we also account for the additional effect of plasma screening, which predicts a reduction in absorption by a similar amount (up to ≈30%). These two effects compete to determine the overall absorption, which may be increased or decreased, depending on the conditions. The corrections can be incorporated into radiation-hydrodynamics simulation codes by replacing the familiar Coulomb logarithm with an analytic expression which depends on the super-Gaussian order "M" and the screening length.

Synergistic Effect of Asphaltene, Resin, and Wax Improving the Emulsification and Interfacial Properties of a High-Phase-Inversion Thin Oil.

Nowadays, high-phase-inversion in situ emulsification technology has shown great potential in enhancing oil recovery from high-water-cut thin-oil reservoirs. However, emulsification characteristics, interfacial properties, and the mechanism of high phase inversion have not been systematically described. In this study, an emulsification experiment was conducted to investigate the effects of shear time, shear rate, and temperature on the phase inversion of thin oil. Furthermore, the influence of resin and wax on the dispersion of asphaltene was studied through microscopic morphology analysis. Interfacial tension measurement and interfacial viscoelasticity analysis were carried out to determine the interaction characteristics of asphaltene, resin, and wax at the interface. The results showed that, at 50 °C, the phase-inversion point of thin oil reached as high as 75%, and even at 60 °C, it remained at 70%. The shear time and shear rate did not affect the phase-inversion point of thin oil, while an increase in temperature led to a decrease in the phase-inversion point. Moreover, compared to the 20% phase-inversion point of base oil, the phase-inversion point increased with different proportions of asphaltene, resin, and wax. Particularly, at the ratio of asphaltene/resin/wax = 1:5:9, the phase-inversion point reached as high as 80%, indicating the optimal state. In this proportion, asphaltene aggregates exhibited the smallest and most uniform size, best dispersion, lower interfacial tension, and higher interfacial modulus. These findings provide reference and guidance for further enhancing oil recovery in medium-to-high-water-cut thin-oil reservoirs.

An unusual case of severe asphyxia with the fetal position unexpectedly inverted in a malformed uterus: a case report

BackgroundWe present a severe neonatal consequence due to the unexpected and crucial inversion of the fetal position after sudden termination of tocolysis during early labor of a woman with congenital uterine anomaly. It has been reported that congenital uterine anomalies latently affect the fetal position. The clinical pitfalls in childbirth with uterine anomalies are discussed here on the basis of clinical evidence.Case presentationAt a perinatal medical center in Japan, a 29-year-old Japanese mother who had a history of bicornuate uterus, received tocolysis to prolong her pregnancy for 5 days during the late preterm period after preterm-premature rupture of the membrane. She gave birth to a 2304 g male neonate of the gestational age of 35 weeks and 5 days with severe asphyxia by means of crash cesarean section for fetal sustained bradycardia after sudden termination of tocolysis. We found the fetal position to reverse from cephalic to breech position during early labor. He ended up having severe cerebral palsy after brain cooling against hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy for 3 days. The mechanism of inversion from cephalic to breech position without amnionic fluid remains unclear, although women with a known diagnosis of a uterine anomaly have higher risk of adverse outcomes such as malpresentation.ConclusionsWhen considering the clinical course of this case on the basis of the medical reports, we suspected that uterine anomalies and changes in intrauterine pressure could cause fetal malpresentation and adverse neonatal outcomes.

Event‐triggered adaptive estimated inverse neural network control of uncertain nonlinear systems with unknown hysteresis effects

AbstractThis article investigates an event‐triggered adaptive estimated inverse control scheme for uncertain nonlinear systems with hysteresis effects, parametric uncertainties, and unknown disturbances. An online estimated inverse hysteresis compensation mechanism is developed, in which an adaptive technique is designed to obtain the value of unknown hysteresis parameters. Compared with common approaches, its biggest advantage lies in the fact that it eliminates the need for experimental determination of hysteresis parameters, thereby reducing time‐consuming offline identification work and enhance the compatibility of the proposed method. Additionally, an adaptive radial basis functions neural network is applied to approximate the unknown disturbances, and its weight coefficients, along with unknown system parameters, are estimated by means of the adaptive method. Furthermore, the introduction of relative threshold event‐triggered control significantly reduces communication costs resulting from the hysteresis compensation. Through Lyapunov analysis, the proposed controller guarantees all signals are bounded and the errors are convergent. Numerical simulation results demonstrate the superiority of the developed controller.

ZnPc based multifunctional devices designed as fast capacitors, rectifiers, infrared detectors and microwave resonators adequate for 6 G technology applications

Herein Zinc phthalocyanine (ZnPc) based multifunctional devices are fabricated and characterized. The device fabrication included formation of an Au nanosheets onto n-Si wafers and coating these nanosheets with 500 nm thick ZnPc layer. Silver and platinum were used to form a Schottky and an ohmic contacts with n-Si and ZnPc, respectively. The device hybrid structure (Ag/n-Si/Au/p-ZnPc/Pt; abbreviated as ASZ) is composed of Ag/n-Si Schottky arm and p- and n- layers forming pn junction separated by Au nanosheets. Electrical and photoelectrical measurements on the ASZ devices have shown their ability to perform as conventional metal-oxide-semiconductor capacitors (CMOS). These CMOS devices showed light and frequency controlled charge accumulation, depletion and inversion mechanisms within the range of 1.0–50 MHz. The flat band and threshold voltages of the ASZ capacitors are engineered by the imposed ac signal frequency and by infrared (IR) light. In addition, ASZ devices performed as biasing controlled IR photosensors and as current rectifiers. A rectification ratio of 103, IR light sensitivity of 39, specific detectivity of .96 ×109 Jones and current responsivity exceeding 9.0 mA W−1 are recorded at biasing voltage of 4.5 V. Moreover ASZ devices displayed microwave resonator characteristics presented by negative capacitance effect, resonance –antiresonance phenomena and high microwave cutoff frequency. The latter is larger than 10 GHz nominating the device for 6 G technology applications.

Distribution, Seasonality, and Water‐Mass Transformation of Temperature and Salinity Inversions in the Southern Yellow Sea

AbstractIn the southern Yellow Sea (SYS) there are temperature and salinity inversions associated with the presence of middepth low temperature and salinity water. Many questions regarding with the inversions, such as the seasonal variation and transformation mechanism, still remain unexplained. In this study, based on hydrographic measurements obtain from 12 cruises within 6‐year (2017–2022), we explored the distribution, seasonality, generation, and transformation mechanism of temperature and salinity inversions in the SYS. Observations reveal widespread temperature and salinity inversions in the Yellow Sea (YS) during both spring and summer. More temperature and salinity inversions are found in spring and summer, respectively. The relative motion between the fresh, cold, high‐dissolved‐oxygen (DO) water at the local shelf/slope and the salty, warm, low‐DO water at the central trough is the key to answering the formation of temperature/salinity inversions. The salinity at the low‐salinity water (LSW) layer increases towards the central YS suggesting the origin of LSW at the local shelf/slope region. Assuming the gain of salinity is caused primarily by vertical diffusion at the upper and lower boundary of the LSW, the propagation speed of the LSW lense is estimated which compares favorably with the magnitude of observed residual currents at the LSW layer. We further note that the depth of subsurface dissolved oxygen maximum agrees well with the LSW layer depth, especially for summer. The influence of the lateral transport of nutrients, and dissolved oxygen on the local biogeochemical environment in the YS is worth further examination.

Advanced multi-scale analysis of segregation mechanisms in twin-roll casting of Al-Cu-Li alloys

In this paper, a detailed analysis of the rheological behaviour and segregation mechanisms within twin-roll casting (TRC) processes for 2060 Al-Cu-Li alloys is presented. Building on previous research where fixed roll gaps limited the adjustability of cast-rolling speed, this study expands the scope by adjusting roll gaps from 3 mm (TRC-3), to 6 mm (TRC-6), to 10 mm (TRC-10). This approach yields three typical process ranges with gradually increasing roll gaps and a wide range of decreasing cast-rolling speeds, allowing us to investigate the inherent nature of segregation and identify conditions conducive to segregation-free processing. A significant contribution of this study is the development of a novel multi-scale simulation model that integrates the thermal, flow, mechanical, solute and phase fields. This advanced simulation framework enhances our understanding of TRC processes and aids in exploring the interplay between the various factors affecting alloy fabrication. This study identified two primary stress-induced inverse segregation mechanisms: the reflux of the semi-solid phase due to rolling stress and expansion of the solidifying shell under shearing stress. Using these insights, a low-stress, low-segregation process, termed TRC-6, was established, which showed notable improvements in the mechanical properties. Specifically, TRC-6 demonstrated a remarkable strength of 562.9 MPa post-T8-treatment, surpassing those of TRC-3 and TRC-10 by 9.0 % and 5.2 %, respectively. These findings offer valuable insights for future TRC process designs with the aim of eliminating segregation defects and enhancing the sustainable and efficient production of Al-Cu-Li alloys.

Stellar wind bubbles of OB stars as Galactic cosmic-ray re-accelerators

Abstract Cosmic rays are highly energetic messengers propagating in magnetized plasma, which are, possibly but not exclusively, accelerated at astrophysical shocks. Amongst the variety of astrophysical objects presenting shocks, the huge circumstellar stellar wind bubbles forming around very massive stars, are potential non-thermal emitters. We present the 1D magneto-hydrodynamical simulation of the evolving magnetized surroundings of a single, OB-type main-sequence $60\, \rm M_{\odot }$ star, which is post-processed to calculate the re-acceleration of pre-existing non-thermal particles of the Galactic cosmic ray background. It is found that the forward shock of such circumstellar bubble can, during the early phase ($1\, \rm Myr$) of its expansion, act as a substantial re-accelerator of pre-existing interstellar cosmic rays. This results in an increasing excess emission flux by a factor of 5, the hadronic component producing γ-rays by π0 decay being more important than those by synchrotron and inverse Compton radiation mechanisms. We propose that this effect is at work in the circumstellar environments of massive stars in general and we conjecture that other nebulae such as the stellar wind bow shocks of runaway massive stars also act as Galactic cosmic-ray re-accelerators. Particularly, this study supports the interpretation of the enhanced hadronic emission flux measured from the surroundings of κ Ori as originating from the acceleration of pre-existing particles at the forward shock of its wind bubble.

Fabrication and Characterization of novel high internal phase bigels with high mechanical properties: Phase inversion and personalized edible 3D food printing

In this paper, bigels systems were prepared by using 20 wt% palm stearin (POs) structured soybean oil oleogels and 80 wt% xanthan gum hydrogels in different ratios of polyglycerol polyricinoleate (PGPR). The proportion of PGPR in bigels was changed to explore the phase inversion and stabilization mechanism of bigels by multiple microscopy techniques, and the mechanical properties have been evaluated by the rheology analysis and 3D printability. When the PGPR content was less than 0.4 wt%, bigels presented as the O/W type. As the PGPR content was 1.0 wt% and 1.2 wt%, the bigel presented as the W/O type with a high internal phase, and a high level of droplets dispersed closely within an oil phase. The increase in PGPR content slowed down the nonlinear viscoelastic behavior under large strains. In terms of 3D printing capability, bigels (oleogels containing 20 wt% POs) showed an unsatisfactory 3D printing capability. However, with the increase of POs and PGPR content, more plastic and printable W/O high internal phase bigels were obtained due to the formation of a more stable, homogeneous, and strong ink. In addition, the bigels systems were investigated for the preparation of 3D biscuit printing, and it was found that the K′ value of W/O bigels batter (1511.39) was larger than that of O/W bigels batter (1394.82), showing greater hardness and better 3D printing performance. These findings could facilitate the broadening of bigels systems that could be applied for 3D biscuit printing.

Improved numerical solution of anisotropic poroelastic wave equation in microseismicity: Graphic process unit acceleration and moment tensor implementation

AbstractThe accuracy and computational efficiency of full waveform forward modelling in poroelastic media are crucial for microseismic monitoring. It enables intuitive, precise and efficient simulation of subsurface responses, thereby improving the reliability of moment tensor inversion and seismic source mechanism interpretation. Additionally, it reflects the role of fluid effects in waveform evolution. In this paper, based on the Biot mechanism, we derived the first‐order velocity–stress equation of poroelastic media and discretized the model using a rotated staggered grid. The rotated staggered grid can well adapt to anisotropic media with high contrast parameters. We provide the finite difference formula based on graphic process unit–acceleration and moment tensor and also provide the graphic process unit workflow for forward modelling of anisotropic poroelastic media. First, two models with different grid sizes were run based on single graphic process unit, 1‐thread Central Processing Unit (CPU) and 16‐thread CPU. The results show that the speedup factors are approximately 14.3 and 3.7, respectively, compared with the running time of 1‐thread CPU and 16‐thread CPU. Then, we compare and evaluate the response of three basic source mechanisms (isotropic expansion, double couple and compensated linear vector dipole) in the model. The comparison of analytical and numerical results verifies the effectiveness of the method. Furthermore, wavefield snapshots of two typical anisotropic media (vertical transversely isotropic and horizontal transversely isotropic) are analysed to correspond to different moment tensor sources. The results showed that the source mechanism does not change the isotropic and anisotropic plane and the wave travel time, but it does change the polarization amplitude of the velocity component. The attenuation of slow qP‐wave increases along with the increase of the value of viscosity. The effect of permeability on wavefield appears with the opposite effect of viscosity. Finally, the seismic waveform differences between multi‐layer elastic media and poroelastic media are compared and analysed. The results showed that the seismic wavefield and waveform of poroelastic media are more complex, the propagation speed of seismic waves is faster, but the attenuation of seismic waves is stronger.

Photoisomerization and thermal reconstruction induced supramolecular chirality inversion in nanofiber determined by minority isomer

Here, amphiphile GCH based on glutamide-cyanostilbene is designed and synthesized, it is found that it can assembly in acetonitrile, and shows circular dichroism signals. After Z-E isomerizaition by UV irradiation, the CD signal of the assembly can be inverted. Unexpectedly, after another heating and cooling process, the circular dichroism signals can be totally inverted even though the E-isomers are in minority. Finally, the molecular dynamics (MD) simulations deeply elucidate the supramolecuar chirality inversion mechanism. This work brings some new insights into the control of chirality inversion, which may provide a perspective for the smart chiroptical materials construction.

GPR-TransUNet: An improved TransUNet based on self-attention mechanism for ground penetrating radar inversion

Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) are widely applied to Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) inversion because they have strong data-driven capabilities and are suitable for the data structure form of GPR. For CNN, the computation increases with the distance that the convolutional block moves from one region to another when it calculates the relationship between two regions. For GPR data, the target reflection exists in the surrounding traces and full time-window of the target, which leads to high degree of remote relationship. In this paper, we propose GPR-TransUNet, a deep-learning based inversion network which use self-attention mechanism. According to the characteristics of GPR data, regression network and GPR-Loss mechanism were used. Both numerical and model experiments were arranged to test the performance of the network, and the result as well as comparative analysis demonstrate the superiority of GPR-TransUNet. Finally, we applied this method to the field GPR data of Guangxi as an attempt.

A symmetry principle for gauge theories with fractons

Fractonic phases are new phases of matter that host excitations with restricted mobility. We show that a certain class of gapless fractonic phases are realized as a result of spontaneous breaking of continuous higher-form symmetries whose conserved charges do not commute with spatial translations. We refer to such symmetries as nonuniform higher-form symmetries. These symmetries fall within the standard definition of higher-form symmetries in quantum field theory, and the corresponding symmetry generators are topological. Worldlines of particles are regarded as the charged objects of 1-form symmetries, and mobility restrictions can be implemented by introducing additional 1-form symmetries whose generators do not commute with spatial translations. These features are realized by effective field theories associated with spontaneously broken nonuniform 1-form symmetries. At low energies, the theories reduce to known higher-rank gauge theories such as scalar/vector charge gauge theories, and the gapless excitations in these theories are interpreted as Nambu-Goldstone modes for higher-form symmetries. Due to the nonuniformity of the symmetry, some of the modes acquire a gap, which is the higher-form analogue of the inverse Higgs mechanism of spacetime symmetries. The gauge theories have emergent nonuniform magnetic symmetries, and some of the magnetic monopoles become fractonic. We identify the ’t Hooft anomalies of the nonuniform higher-form symmetries and the corresponding bulk symmetry-protected topological phases. By this method, the mobility restrictions are fully determined by the choice of the commutation relations of charges with translations. This approach allows us to view existing (gapless) fracton models such as the scalar/vector charge gauge theories and their variants from a unified perspective and enables us to engineer theories with desired mobility restrictions.

Industrial defective chips detection using deep convolutional neural network with inverse feature matching mechanism

Abstract The growing demand for high-quality industrial products has led to a significant emphasis on image anomaly detection (AD). AD in industrial goods presents a formidable research challenge that demands the application of sophisticated techniques to identify and address deviations from the expected norm accurately. Manufacturers increasingly recognize the significance of employing intelligent systems to detect flaws and defects in product parts. However, industrial settings pose several challenges: diverse categories, limited abnormal samples and vagueness. Hence, there is a growing demand for advanced image AD techniques within industrial product manufacturing. In this paper, an intelligent industrial defective chips detection framework is proposed which mainly consists of three core components. First, the convolutional features of the efficient backbone model is effectively utilized to balance the computational complexity and performance of industrial resource-constrained devices. Secondly, a novel inverse feature matching followed by masking method is proposed to enhance the explanability that localizes the abnormal regions of the abnormal chips. Finally, to evaluate our proposed method a comprehensive ablation study is conducted, where different machine learning and deep learning algorithms are analysed to claim the superiority of our method. Furthermore, to help the research community, a benchmark dataset is collected from real-world industry manufacturing for defective chip detection. The empirical results from the dataset demonstrate the strength and effectiveness of the proposed model compared to the other models.

Dynamical inflation stimulated cogenesis

We propose a minimal setup that realises dynamical inflection point inflation, and, using the same field content, generates neutrino masses, a baryon asymmetry of the universe, and dark matter. A dark SU(2)D gauge sector with a dark scalar doublet playing the role of inflaton is considered along with several doublet and singlet fermions sufficient to realise multiple inflection points in the inflaton potential. The singlet fermions couple to SM leptons and generate neutrino masses via the inverse seesaw mechanism. Those fermions also decay asymmetrically and out of equilibrium, generating a baryon asymmetry via leptogenesis. Some of the fermion doublets are dark matter, and they are produced via inflaton decay and freeze-in annihilation of the same fermions that generate the lepton asymmetry. Reheating, leptogenesis, and dark matter are all at the TeV scale.

Heavy neutral lepton corrections to SM boson decays: lepton flavour universality violation in low-scale seesaw realisations

We study lepton flavour universality violation in SM boson decays in low-scale seesaw models of neutrino mass generation, also addressing other electroweak precision observables. We compute the electroweak next-to-leading order corrections, which turn out to be important – notably in the case of the invisible decay width of the Z boson, for which the corrections can be as large as the current experimental uncertainty. As a well-motivated illustrative study case, we choose a realisation of the Inverse Seesaw mechanism, and discuss the complementary role of lepton flavour conserving, lepton flavour violating and precision observables, both in constraining and in probing such models of neutrino mass generation. Our findings suggest that invisible Z decays are especially important, potentially at the origin of the most stringent constraints for certain regimes of the Inverse Seesaw (while complying with charge lepton flavour violation and other electroweak precision tests). We also discuss the probing power of the considered observables in view of the expected improvement in experimental precision at FCC-ee.

Z,E-Isomerization of N-carbamoyl-1,4-benzoquinone monoimines

There are two following processes in the solutions of N-carbamoyl-1,4-benzoquinone monoimines: Z,E-isomerization with respect to the C=N bond and hindered rotation around the –NH–C(O)– bond, which can be registered by 1H NMR spectroscopy. The experimental values of the activation energy of these processes (G298) were determined as 67.21 and 62.05 kJ/mol, respectively. Z,E-Isomerization with respect to the C=N bond was found to run under the inversion mechanism. The theoretical values of the barriers of 3,5-dimethyl- and 2,6-dimethyl-N-carbamoyl-1,4-benzoquinone monoimines were calculated by quantum chemical calculations, they agreed well with experimental data.

Two large inversions seriously suppress recombination and are essential for key genotype fixation in cabbage (Brassica oleracea L. var. capitata)

Abstract Chromosomal inversion is an important structural variation that usually suppresses recombination and is critical for key genotype fixation. In a previous study, an 11.47 Mb recombination suppression region was identified in the yellow–green leaf locus BoYgl-1 on chromosome 1, but the cause of recombination suppression is still unclear. In this study, chlorophyll and carotenoid contents were found to be significantly decreased in the yellow–green leaf mutant YL-1. Genome assembly and comparative analysis revealed that two large inversions in YL-1 were responsible for the severe recombination suppression in the BoYgl-1 locus. Analyses with inversion-specific markers revealed that the inversions were present in 44 (including all wild cabbage; INV1 and INV2) of 195 cabbage inbred lines and 15 (INV1) ornamental kale inbred lines, indicating that these species with INV1 or INV2 may have evolved much earlier than other types of cabbage. Analyses with inversion-correlated markers revealed that the genotypes of CoINV1, CoINV2 and CoINV3 were highly correlated with INV1 and INV2, indicating that INVs could fix the key genotypes of the involved region. In addition, a 5.87 Mb assembly inversion was identified at the BoYgl-1 locus in the TO1000 genome by genome comparative analysis. This study provides new insight into the recombination suppression mechanism of chromosomal inversion and the application of genome fragment fixation in cabbage breeding.
