Navigating the Challenges and Seizing Opportunities in Implementing Closed-Loop Supply Chains

Closed-Loop Supply Chains (CLSCs) present a transformative solution for industries seeking sustainability by reintegrating returned products through recycling, refurbishment, and remanufacturing, reducing waste and dependency on added resources. While offering substantial benefits, CLSC adoption faces challenges, including high infrastructure costs, complex reverse coordination, and inconsistent regulatory support, which hinder widespread application. Through a mixed-method approach using surveys and case studies, this study reveals barriers such as financial constraints and operational restructuring needs, while highlighting enablers like digital tools (e.g., blockchain, IoT) that enhance efficiency and transparency. Furthermore, it emphasizes the critical role of regulatory incentives (subsidies, tax breaks, and extended producer responsibility mandates) and strategic partnerships that pool resources and share risks, essential for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) aiming to implement CLSCs effectively. By proposing a practical CLSC framework, informed by empirical data, this research provides actionable insights for businesses to embrace circular economy principles, aligning environmental responsibility with corporate resilience, profitability, and consumer expectations. CLSCs, therefore, are not only an environmental solution but also a strategic opportunity that addresses sustainability imperatives while meeting regulatory requirements and advancing competitive advantage.

Exploring the Impact of Resource Management Strategies on Simulated Edge Cloud Performance: An Experimental Study

Edge computing has emerged as a critical technology for meeting the needs of latency-sensitive applications and reducing network congestion. This goal is achieved mainly by distributing computational resources closer to end users and away from traditional data centers. Optimizing the utilization of limited edge cloud resources and improving the performance of edge computing systems requires efficient resource-management techniques. In this paper, we primarily discuss the use of simulation tools—EdgeSimPy in particular—to assess edge cloud resource management methods. We give a summary of the main difficulties in managing a limited pool of resources in edge cloud computing, and we go over how simulation programs like EdgeSimPy work and evaluate resource management algorithms. The scenarios we consider for this evaluation involve edge computing while taking into account variables like user location, resource availability, and network structure. We evaluate four resource management algorithms in a fixed, simulated edge computing environment to determine their performance regarding their CPU usage, memory usage, disk usage, power consumption, and latency performance metrics to determine which method performs better in a fixed scenario. This allows us to determine the optimal algorithm for tasks that prioritize minimal resource use, low latency, or a combination of the two. Furthermore, we outline areas of unfilled research needs and potential paths forward for improving the reliability and realism of edge cloud simulation tools.

Aviation business growth; Does ground movement capacity and air space capacity matter?

Growth in any firm’s business is critical as a long-term objective of such a firm. The study thus focused on the influence of ground movement capacity and air space capacity on the growth of aviation businesses at Wilson Airport. The guiding objectives of this study were: to establish the effect of ground movement capacity on aviation business growth in Kenya and to assess the effects of airspace capacity on in Kenya. The study was guided by theory of constraints. The study employed an explanatory research design. The study targeted 117 respondents based at Wilson Airport. A Census survey was used in this study to collect information from all participants in the population. The study collected primary data using questionnaires. In testing for reliability, Cronbach’s alpha coefficient was applied. The Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) was used for data analysis. Inferential data were analyzed using correlation and multiple regressions. The study findings revealed that ground movement capacity has a positive and significant effect on aviation business and airspace capacity has a positive and significant effect on aviation business growth. Ground movement capacity was an important determinant of aviation business growth. Kenya Civil Aviation Authority and Kenya Airports Authority should pool resources and increase the ground movement equipment and facilities. The study recommends that future researcher’s study on the influence of public, private partnership to increase the ground movement capacity on aviation growth can also be conducted.

Married and cohabiting women's financial empowerment: A study on women's bank account ownership in Spain

AbstractObjectiveThe goal was to examine the conditions under which young adult women (aged 25–50) in heterosexual couples maintain their economic independence through a personal bank account.BackgroundResearch has shown that in Spain, the pooling of economic resources is seen as an important aspect of being a couple and as a symbol of togetherness. However, in practice, joint management can be characterized by inequalities on several levels, such as access to money, control over money, and personal spending. Few studies have focused on household financial organization in Spain, and studies of women's financial autonomy are lacking.MethodWe conducted a cross‐sectional analysis of couples aged 25–50 in Spain (N = 1,281) using data from the 2020 National Survey on Family Life.ResultsThe findings reveal that women are significantly less likely to have a personal bank account if either partner does not endorse values of economic autonomy, the couple is married with children, or, if the male partner earns significantly more.ConclusionThe results suggest that there is still a long way to go for Spain to reach the levels of women's account ownership seen in countries such as those in Northern Europe. It is important to incorporate women's account ownership into the investigation of financial organization, given its substantial implications for women within couples and those navigating relationship dissolution.ImplicationsGovernment programs should promote women's account ownership. Also, policies targeting financial literacy can incorporate dimensions such as basic budgeting, saving, and debt management so that women can gain further financial skills.

Unveiling Relationships: Enhancing Sustainability of Golpata (Nipa Palm) Through Socio‐Ecological Systems Management in the Sundarbans Mangrove Forest

ABSTRACTThis study explores the social‐ecological dynamics of common pool resource (CPR) management in the Sundarbans mangrove forest in Bangladesh. We focus on golpata (Nypa fruticans), a vital CPR for local communities. A social‐ecological systems (SESs) framework was employed to assess the relationships between social (actors and governance) and ecological (resource system and resource unit) dimensions and their influence on the sustainability of golpata management. Data on 12 variables and 24 indicators were collected within the Chadpai range of the Sundarbans. Results revealed both positive and negative relationships between the SES dimensions. Positive correlations were found between the resource system and resource unit, and between governance and both resource system and unit (albeit weaker). Conversely, negative correlations emerged between actors and both resource systems and units, suggesting a potential disconnect between community user practices and resource sustainability. Based on these findings, the study recommends four distinct management scenarios tailored to specific SES regions within the Sundarbans. These scenarios emphasize strengthening governance frameworks, enhancing stakeholder engagement, and implementing targeted ecological interventions to improve the sustainability of golpata resources. This research contributes to a deeper understanding of the social‐ecological complexities of golpata management in the Sundarbans. The findings can inform policymakers in developing effective strategies for sustainable resource use and community livelihoods within this critical ecosystem.

Is Clonal Integration a Buffer for the Stress of Resource Acquisition Depletion in Eichhornia crassipes (Pontederiaceae) Ramets?

Natural selection favors the allocation of finite resources to different functions maximizing fitness. In this sense, some functions may decrease whereas others increase when resources are limited in a process called a trade-off. However, a great variety of situations may obscure trade-off detection in clonal plants, such as the ability to generate offspring by clonal growth that represents opportunities for resource uptake. The aim of this work was to evaluate if clonal integration and resource availability mediate biomass allocation patterns in E. crassipes through a greenhouse experiment. We set ramets in clonal and isolated conditions, and with and without leaf blades, and compared the relationship of biomass proportion allocated to each vegetative organ. We found that biomass allocation to vegetative structures in E. crassipes is primarily shaped by resource pools and is enhanced by clonal integration as attached ramets invest more in growth and vegetative structures. In this sense, regarding trade-off patterns in biomass allocation among vegetative organs and under resource depletion, clonal integration may represent a way to stabilize biomass allocation patterns and may decrease trade-off importance. We discuss trade-offs and clonal integration as evolutionary strategies that allow plant persistence and improve plants fitness. These findings may support aquatic plant management and control efforts while highlighting the evolutionary significance of clonal integration for plant life strategies.

Science diplomacy in the European and Latin American and Caribbean research infrastructure collaboration

Abstract Research infrastructures (RIs) are crucial for scientific progress, innovation, and global development, necessitating international collaboration due to their complexity and cost. Science diplomacy (SD) plays a vital role in facilitating policy design, resource pooling, and governance for effective collaboration in RIs. Multinational cooperation in RIs provides financial relief and access to advanced technology and promotes cutting-edge research, benefiting scientific development and socioeconomic growth. This article explores the role of SD in European-Latin American and Caribbean (EU-LAC) RI collaboration, underscoring the importance of diverse and equitable inter-RI collaboration. The study addresses challenges in EU-LAC collaboration, emphasizing the unequal development of RIs and the need for political support. Through interpretive policy studies and stakeholder interviews, the research contributes to formulating an ideal type and a feasible scenario for sustainable collaboration, discussing policy implications and highlighting the pivotal role of SD in successful international RI partnerships.

Digital Economy and the Development of Rural Speciality Industries

Integration of digital economic (technological) development is an inevitable choice for the growth of industries in China's urban and rural areas. Industrial prosperity in the countryside requires the development of speciality industries according to the reality of the countryside. The integration of characteristic industries and digital economy helps rural industries to flourish and accelerates the realisation of the goal of rural revitalisation. Due to different natural endowments, villages in the categories of agglomeration and upgrading, suburban integration, characteristic protection and relocation and annexation focus on the development of different characteristic industries. According to the actual situation of each type of villages, the development of characteristic industries and the digital transformation and upgrading of characteristic industries are the basic paths for the optimisation and development of rural industries in China. The development of special industries in different types of villages requires a sound digital foundation, the pooling of financial resources in various aspects, and the support and promotion of the construction of digital talents.

Leaf herbivory causes abortion of selfed seeds in Rhododendron kaempferi var. kaempferi

AbstractPlant reproduction is often inhibited by herbivorous leaf damage, which affects the resource pool allocated for reproduction. Rhododendron kaempferi var. kaempferi is a semi‐evergreen shrub widely distributed in Japan, and its leaves are occasionally damaged by sawfly larvae (Arge similis). This species is partially self‐compatible, but its selfed seedlings suffer from inbreeding depression. Our study aimed to clarify (1) the magnitude of herbivorous damage under natural conditions, (2) the effects of foliage damage on seed number and mass, and (3) the possibility of selective abortion of selfed seeds to maintain outcrossed seed production under resource limitation. In the 2022 survey, 2 of the 20 ramets observed were collectively parasitized by sawfly larvae, and the most damaged ramet had a 59.6% foliage loss. In contrast, the herbivorous damage in 2023 was consistently low throughout the growing season, averaging a 3.2% loss. Leaf excision reduced the seed number per fruit (i.e., low seed‐set rate) but did not affect the individual seed mass. The outcrossing rate of the excision treatment (81.7%) was significantly higher than that of the control (72.0%). The values of seed‐set rate × outcrossing rate were 0.172 for the excision treatment and 0.171 for the control, nearly equal. Our results indicated that (1) sawfly larvae damage was concentrated on a few specific plants, (2) intense foliage damage reduced seed number but not seed mass, and (3) R. kaempferi mitigated the decline in outcrossed seed production by the abortion of selfed seeds when leaves were intensively damaged.

Formal contracts mitigate social dilemmas in multi-agent reinforcement learning

Multi-agent Reinforcement Learning (MARL) is a powerful tool for training autonomous agents acting independently in a common environment. However, it can lead to sub-optimal behavior when individual incentives and group incentives diverge. Humans are remarkably capable at solving these social dilemmas. It is an open problem in MARL to replicate such cooperative behaviors in selfish agents. In this work, we draw upon the idea of formal contracting from economics to overcome diverging incentives between agents in MARL. We propose an augmentation to a Markov game where agents voluntarily agree to binding transfers of reward, under pre-specified conditions. Our contributions are theoretical and empirical. First, we show that this augmentation makes all subgame-perfect equilibria of all Fully Observable Markov Games exhibit socially optimal behavior, given a sufficiently rich space of contracts. Next, we show that for general contract spaces, and even under partial observability, richer contract spaces lead to higher welfare. Hence, contract space design solves an exploration-exploitation tradeoff, sidestepping incentive issues. We complement our theoretical analysis with experiments. Issues of exploration in the contracting augmentation are mitigated using a training methodology inspired by multi-objective reinforcement learning: Multi-Objective Contract Augmentation Learning. We test our methodology in static, single-move games, as well as dynamic domains that simulate traffic, pollution management, and common pool resource management.

Ambidexterity of hospitality trade associations: a social capital perspective for destination coordination and cooperation dynamics

ABSTRACT This study explores the critical role of trade associations in sustaining coordination and cooperation dynamics within tourism destinations. Acknowledging both the bright and dark sides of interorganizational relationships (IORs) in tourism, where extensive connections can produce beneficial outcomes as well as adverse effects like inertia, this research provides a nuanced examination of these dynamics. Utilising a constructivist grounded theory approach informed by social capital theory, this study examines the role of trade associations in Venice's hospitality sector through 22 in-depth interviews. As a result of applying Gioia’s methodology for qualitative analysis, trade associations emerge as pivotal actors providing the opportunity to leverage close-knit networks by offering collective services and fostering resource pooling and information sharing among their members; on the other hand, they emerged also as acting as system coordinators, strategy designers, and providing a flexible structure for prompt collective decision-making at the destination level. These findings reveal that trade associations play a crucial role in facilitating coordination and cooperation within tourist destinations by fostering the development of bonding capital at the dyadic level and bridging capital at the systemic level.

Benzylic C–H Radical Sulfation by Persulfates

Sulfation is a highly valuable pathological and physiological process, yet it is often underappreciated considering the rather difficult accessibility of organosulfates. O‐sulfonation (O–SO3), a conventional and still common way to make organosulfates, restricts its applicability to hydroxyl compounds and therein lies a major challenge of library construction. Here, we describe a benzylic C–H radical sulfation with persulfates via C–O bond formation. This strategy leverages modular control over the reactivity of persulfates and the stability of sulfate radicals by coutercations. K+/NH4+ stabilized sulfate radicals act as the oxidant to generate carbon‐centered radicals from substrates, and activation of persulfates by NBu4+ provides O–O resource pool to facilitate C–OSO3‐ bond formation via a bimolecular homolytic substitution (SH2) process.

Influence of Socio-Economic and Institutional Factors on the Adoption of Conservation Agriculture in Bahi District, Tanzania

This study sought to establish the influence of socio-economic and institutional factors on the adoption of conservation agriculture in Bahi District, Tanzania. This study used a cross-sectional research design, using the sample of 176 farming households, where 89 households were CA adopters and the remaining 87 households were non-CA adopters. Data from a questionnaire was analyzed through a binary logistic regression model and descriptive statistics. The study concluded that gender, age market availability, credit accessibility and bylaw awareness influenced the adoption of Conservation Agriculture in the study area. If credit accessibility, extension service and bylaws are present, then adopting CA is done more easily. Therefore, before introducing CA, it is important to assess the presence of these factors for better results. Some of the recommendations are that collaboration between financial institutions and policymakers be encouraged as it is essential to increase farmers' credit accessibility by providing affordable loans and financial services. Extension services need to be improved and expanded by funding the extension programs and employing more extension workers. Information dissemination and training on CA should be tailored to consider the needs of female and young farmers. Additionally, cooperative farming groups or networks of young and female farmers should be created to facilitate resource pooling, knowledge sharing and collective investment in necessary equipment and inputs.

Blockchain Applications in Cyber Liability Insurance

Blockchain technology is revolutionizing cyber liability insurance (CLI) by addressing key challenges in underwriting, risk assessment, and claims management. As cyber-attacks become more frequent and complex, the demand for effective CLI solutions has surged. Traditional insurance practices often fall short in this rapidly evolving landscape. Blockchain offers a decentralized, secure, and transparent approach, enhancing the accuracy of risk assessments and preventing fraudulent claims. By maintaining an immutable ledger of historical claims, blockchain allows for better comparison of new claims against past data. Additionally, smart contracts within blockchain frameworks can automate claims processing, reducing administrative tasks and speeding up resolutions. Blockchain also enables decentralized, peer-to-peer insurance platforms, allowing multiple insurers to pool resources and share risks in a transparent, efficient manner. This study explores how blockchain can transform CLI, improving efficiency and security across the industry.

Crafting Combinations to Govern Groundwater: Knowledge, Motivation, and Agency

Groundwater is a vital common pool resource for water supply, irrigation, and ecosystems, but can be difficult to govern due to invisibility, conflicting interests, and limitations of available institutions. While there are many policy and technical instruments (tools) available, efforts to apply them are often ineffective. This special issue of the International Journal of the Commons presents a set of papers with insights into policy instruments and other methods for groundwater governance. The relevance and effectiveness of tools and combinations of tools (toolboxes) in addressing problems that emerge from groundwater use is related to how they fit with diverse physical and social contexts. Drawing on research and applied experience, including that presented in this issue, we outline a conceptual framework for groundwater governance that emphasizes attention not just to knowledge, but also to motivations, and to agency for effective coordination among key actors. Articles in the special issue analyze groundwater governance in areas of Africa (east, south, and north), Central Asia, India, and the United States. The articles cover a range of scales from small groups playing experiential games to international agreements about transboundary aquifers. Several papers illustrate the crucial role of knowledge about groundwater, and the need for governance instruments and interventions to go beyond only changing knowledge. Three papers focus on groundwater games and their use to understand and change behavior, especially when combined with other tools that facilitate collective deliberation and action. Several papers illustrate how understanding of the ways people care about and practice care for groundwater illuminates examples and capabilities for groundwater governance. Highlights There are many institutional tools for governing groundwater, but no panaceas, and successes are rare Effective groundwater governance requires that key stakeholders have combinations of knowledge, motivation, and agency to act together effectively Groundwater co-management can combine stakeholders’ knowledge, values, and collective action with external science, resources, and authority Participatory processes can craft combinations of tools to fit contexts and pursue shared gains

Modern Approaches to Attracting Personnel to Medical Organizations in Rural Areas on an Example of the Voronezh Region

INTRODUCTION: The importance of this study stems from the necessity to search for an effective solution to the problem of provision of the rural healthcare with medical personnel to increase the quality of medical care and its availability for the population. AIM: To scientifically substantiate and develop proposals for attracting and developing the human resources potential of rural medical organizations. MATERIALS AND METHODS: To assess the state of provision of healthcare in the Voronezh Region (VR) with human resources, the data from statistical accounting forms No. 17 and No. 30 were used. The comparative analysis method was used to study the provision of medical organizations of the VR with medical personnel and staffing with medical positions, and the main parameters of the activity of medical organizations in rural areas of the region. To study the factors contributing to the attraction of young specialists to medical organizations in rural areas, an anonymous online survey was conducted. RESULTS: The analysis of provision of healthcare organizations of the VO with personnel showed a satisfactory level of provision with medical workers. The personnel shortage is more pronounced in rural areas the staffing of full-time positions is decreasing, the influx of young specialists is decreasing, the proportion of people of retirement age is increasing. In-depth analysis permitted to identify ‘weak points’ in the formation of the personnel reserve and take them into account when forming the regional personnel policy. Based on the data obtained during the study, a multi-level model of reproduction of human resources was created using the cluster approach. A mechanism for interaction between potential employers and subjects of the educational system was developed. CONCLUSION: The pooling of resources within the framework of cluster interdepartmental interaction led to the expansion of the career guidance space and permitted to build practice-oriented educational activities based on continuity of general, secondary vocational and higher education. The findings of the study can be used in the formation of an effective personnel policy aimed at advanced forecasting of the process of their reproduction in the healthcare system.

Exploring Novel Genomic Loci and Candidate Genes Associated with Plant Height in Bulgarian Bread Wheat via Multi-Model GWAS.

In the context of crop breeding, plant height (PH) plays a pivotal role in determining straw and grain yield. Although extensive research has explored the genetic control of PH in wheat, there remains an opportunity for further advancements by integrating genomics with growth-related phenomics. Our study utilizes the latest genome-wide association scan (GWAS) techniques to unravel the genetic basis of temporal variation in PH across 179 Bulgarian bread wheat accessions, including landraces, tall historical, and semi-dwarf modern varieties. A GWAS was performed with phenotypic data from three growing seasons, the calculated best linear unbiased estimators, and the leveraging genotypic information from the 25K Infinium iSelect array, using three statistical methods (MLM, FarmCPU, and BLINK). Twenty-five quantitative trait loci (QTL) associated with PH were identified across fourteen chromosomes, encompassing 21 environmentally stable quantitative trait nucleotides (QTNs), and four haplotype blocks. Certain loci (17) on chromosomes 1A, 1B, 1D, 2A, 2D, 3A, 3B, 4A, 5B, 5D, and 6A remain unlinked to any known Rht (Reduced height) genes, QTL, or GWAS loci associated with PH, and represent novel regions of potential breeding significance. Notably, these loci exhibit varying effects on PH, contribute significantly to natural variance, and are expressed during seedling to reproductive stages. The haplotype block on chromosome 6A contains five QTN loci associated with reduced height and two loci promoting height. This configuration suggests a substantial impact on natural variation and holds promise for accurate marker-assisted selection. The potentially novel genomic regions harbor putative candidate gene coding for glutamine synthetase, gibberellin 2-oxidase, auxin response factor, ethylene-responsive transcription factor, and nitric oxide synthase; cell cycle-related genes, encoding cyclin, regulator of chromosome condensation (RCC1) protein, katanin p60 ATPase-containing subunit, and expansins; genes implicated in stem mechanical strength and defense mechanisms, as well as gene regulators such as transcription factors and protein kinases. These findings enrich the pool of semi-dwarfing gene resources, providing the potential to further optimize PH, improve lodging resistance, and achieve higher grain yields in bread wheat.

A-330 Implementation of a Point of Care Emergency Preparedness policy: Are you ready for a disaster?

Abstract Background CAP Gen.73800 requires laboratories to have an Emergency Preparedness and Response policy. Hospital standards for Joint Commission Accreditation, EM.09.01.01, EM.12.02.09, and EM.16.01.01 require hospitals to have a comprehensive emergency management program including an ability to manage resources and assets during an emergency and conduct exercises to evaluate its plan. According to a survey of 27 POCT departments, only 35% have a POCT policy separate from the main lab and 50% of POCT programs are involved with emergency preparedness drills. With the continuing growth of POC testing, the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center (UPMC) POCT team recognized a need for a collaborative effort between main laboratories, the emergency management team, and POCT to develop a POCT emergency preparedness policy. Methods UPMC POCT team collaborated with emergency management to decide what details regarding POC tests and devices would be needed if the main laboratory was rendered not functional. Additionally, a hazard vulnerability review identified potential internal and external events that could impact patient care. POC coordinators from across the system supplied feedback as to what situations within POC could impact patient safety. Results An evaluation of hazards considered debilitating to the main laboratory included external events, such as weather emergencies or evacuation of the hospital due to safety concerns. Potential internal events including a loss of water or impeded functionality of an instrument platform were identified. Available POC tests may offer solutions to deficits in main lab testing. The POCT program is not immune to potential emergency situations. Connectivity/IT issues can require extensive troubleshooting. Supply chain disruptions that affect the availability of consumables may lead to a reverse scenario where emergency management may assist. On-line training modules are a consideration when labor strikes or staffing shortages require POCT programs to quickly onboard replacement workers as new operators. During pandemics, Coordinators may need to rapidly implement new testing. The UPMC Emergency Preparedness policy was developed as a guide to the POCT team to ensure the continuation of testing ability in these emergent situations and addresses the need for communication with Incident Command. The UPMC POCT Emergency Preparedness policy is linked to a Microsoft Form that can be quickly completed by POC coordinators throughout the system. Responses to the form can be exported to an Excel spreadsheet and will supply emergency management with POC device-specific information, listing devices as battery operated, wireless capable, tabletop or hand-held and provides test menus. This spreadsheet allows coordinators to decide the number of devices and consumables that could be pooled from all facilities within the system. Conclusions Ninety-three percent of survey respondents acknowledged that they could potentially benefit from a POCT emergency preparedness policy. Increasing the number of POCT programs involved in emergency preparedness drills would improve response to emergency management challenges. The UPMC POCT Emergency Management Policy guides POC coordinators through situations, allowing them to pool resources to allow for the continuity of testing necessary for quality patient care.

Assembly and comparative analysis of the mitochondrial genome in diploid potatoes.

We report the mitochondrial genome of 39 diploid potatoes and identify a candidate ORF potentially linked to cytoplasmic male sterility in potatoes. Potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) holds a critical position as the foremost non-grain food crop, playing a pivotal role in ensuring global food security. Diploid potatoes constitute a vital genetic resource pool, harboring the potential to revolutionize modern potato breeding. Nevertheless, diploid potatoes are relatively understudied, and mitochondrial DNA can provide valuable insights into key potato breeding traits such as CMS. In this study, we examine and assemble the mitochondrial genome evolution and diversity of 39 accessions of diploid potatoes using high-fidelity (HiFi) sequencing. We annotated 54 genes for all the investigated accessions, comprising 34 protein-coding genes, 3 rRNA genes, and 17 tRNA genes. Our analyses revealed differences in repeats sequences between wild and cultivated landraces. To understand the evolution of diploid maternal lineage inheritance, we conducted phylogenetic analysis, which clearly distinguished mitochondrial from nuclear gene trees, further supporting the evidence-based of clustering between wild and cultivated landraces accessions. Our study discovers new candidate ORFs associated with CMS in potatoes, including ORF137, which is homologous to other CMS in Solanaceae. Ultimately, this work bridges the gap in mitochondrial genome research for diploid potatoes, providing a steppingstone into evolutionary studies and potato breeding.
