Easy 3 points and demolition of the hapless Blackburn Rovers by the mighty Skyblues tonight. Played pretty well and dealt much better with the wet / slippery conditions in the first half. #pusb#coventrycityfc#ccfc

3-0 on the score board for Coventry city against Blackburn In the English championship
Brandon Thomas-Asante scored the third, and best, goal.  He had a pretty decent performance
Lap of honour for the lads after thrashing Blackburn
What a team!

I’m looking forward to seeing some European football back the “Lane” tonight, hopefully the boys can carry on where they left off on Saturday. Ange’s changes against CCFC ultimately paid off with 2 back to back wins. I wonder how many changes he’ll make tonight? #COYS#THFC

Dad would find it hilarious that he's dragged me to a football match. He'll be on the screen at half time as memorial.

Polyploidy isn't just about extra chromosomes—it's about new gene sets. These extra genes may offer Cc a survival edge in challenging urban settings. Allopolyploidy could be key to why Cc thrives in cities while Ccfc is left behind. (6/8)

Figure with 9 panels showing mitotic metaphase chromosomes of Commelina communis (Cc), C. communis f. ciliata (Ccfc), and Commelina benghalensis (Cb) after GISH using Ccfc genomic DNA. (A-C) Ccfc chromosomes stained with DAPI (A), labeled with Ccfc DNA (B), and merged to show Ccfc DNA signals (red) on Ccfc chromosomes (C). (D-F) Cc chromosomes stained with DAPI (D), labeled with Ccfc DNA (E), and merged to show Ccfc DNA signals (red) on Cc chromosomes (blue) (F), with Ccfc DNA localized on about half of the Cc chromosomes. Nucleolus organizer regions (NORs) do not show Ccfc signals. (G-I) Cb chromosomes stained with DAPI (G), labeled with Ccfc DNA (H), and merged to show Ccfc DNA signals (red) on Cb chromosomes (I). Arrows indicate NORs in B, C, E, and F. Arrowheads highlight the band pattern in I and examples of labeled and unlabeled chromosomes in E and F.

Cc also has more than double the genome size of Ccfc. The study found Cc’s genome includes parts of Ccfc and another unknown genome—an indication of allopolyploidy, where two different species' genomes combine. (5/8)

Figure with 3 panels showing mitotic metaphases of Cc, Ccfc, and Cb stained with DAPI. (Panel A) Ccfc chromosomes 2n = 46. (Panel B) Cc chromosomes 2n = 88. (Panel C) Cb chromosomes 2n = 22. Scale bar: 5 μm.

Cc, a tetraploid, had larger but fewer stomata compared to diploid Ccfc. Larger stomata could be a factor in Cc’s better adaptation to urban stressors like pollution and heat. (4/8)

Figure with 3 panels comparing Commeilna communis and C. c.f. ciliata stomata size in different regions of Japan. Panels A and B show the stomata of Cc and Ccfc, both collected from a rural area in Hyogo. The scale bar represents 50 micrometers. In panel C, the blue and red boxplots represent the stomata sizes of Cc and Ccfc, with each point showing individual data measurements. The different letters (a-d) indicate significant differences in stomata size between the species and regions (p<0.01).

Cc (2n = 88) and Ccfc (2n = 46) were studied across 218 sites in Japan. In urban areas, only Cc was found, while rural areas saw the coexistence of both taxa. This suggests that genome changes like polyploidy influence plant distribution. (3/8)

Figure with five panels showing geographic distribution of Commemina communis (Cc) and C. c. f. ciliata (Ccfc) in Japan. (Panel A) Study sites in Tokyo. (Panel B) Study sites in Hyogo, Osaka, and Kyoto. (Panel C) Study sites in Okayama. (Panel D) Study sites in Shimane. (Panel E).

The study focused on Commelina communis (Cc) and its subspecies C. communis f. ciliata (Ccfc), which differ in chromosome numbers and ploidy levels. (2/8)

Figure showing flower (upper) and whole plants (middle) of Commelina communis (Cc) and C. communis f. ciliata (Ccfc) in urban and rural areas. Although Ccfc (right) is morphologically distinct with Cc (left) due to bract hairs and shorter stamens, their morphological traits are highly similar. Urban area (lower, left) is occupied by developed lands such as concretes and buildings, whereas rural area (lower, right) is covered with natural fields such as rice fields and forests.
