description: The Galileo mission to Jupiter discovered magnetic signatures associated with hidden sub-surface oceans at the moons Europa and Callisto using the phenomenon of magnetic induction. These induced magnetic fields originate from electrically conductive layers within the moons and are driven by Jupiter's strong time-varying magnetic field. The ice giants and their moons are also ideal laboratories for magnetic induction studies. Both Uranus and Neptune have a strongly tilted magnetic axis with respect to their spin axis, creating a dynamic and strongly variable magnetic field environment at the orbits of their major moons. Although Voyager 2 visited the ice giants in the 1980s, it did not pass close enough to any of the moons to detect magnetic induction signatures. However, Voyager 2 revealed that some of these moons exhibit surface features that hint at recent geologically activity, possibly associated with sub-surface oceans. Future missions to the ice giants may therefore be capable of discovering sub-surface oceans, thereby adding to the family of known ocean worlds in our solar system. Here, we assess magnetic induction as a technique for investigating sub-surface oceans within the major moons of Uranus. Furthermore, we establish the ability to distinguish induction responses created by different interior characteristics that tie into the induction response: ocean thickness, conductivity, and depth, and ionospheric conductance. The results reported here demonstrate the possibility of single-pass ocean detection and constrained characterization within the moons of Miranda, Ariel, and Umbriel, and provide guidance for magnetometer selection and trajectory design for future missions to Uranus.

Abstract 
Eplontersen (Wainua™) is a ligand-conjugated antisense oligonucleotide directed to TTR, which is being developed by Ionis Pharmaceuticals and AstraZeneca for the treatment of TTR-mediated amyloidosis (ATTR). Eplontersen, which is targeted to the liver by a ligand containing three N-acetyl galactosamine residues, binds to wild-type and variant TTR mRNA, thus reducing the levels of circulating TTR protein and amyloid deposition. Subcutaneous eplontersen reduced serum TTR levels, inhibited neuropathy progression and improved health-related quality of life in patients with polyneuropathy of hereditary ATTR (ATTRv-PN; v for variant) in a phase III trial. Based on these results, eplontersen was approved in the USA for the treatment of ATTRv-PN on 21 December 2023 and is currently undergoing regulatory review for a similar indication in the EU, the UK, Switzerland and Canada. Eplontersen is also undergoing phase III development for ATTR cardiomyopathy. This article summarizes the milestones in the development of eplontersen leading to this first approval for ATTRv-PN.

description: We study the effect of the infrared (IR) geometry on the phenomenology of warped extra dimensions with gauge and fermion fields in the bulk. We focus in particular on a "mass gap" metric which is AdS in the ultraviolet, but asymptotes to flat space in the IR, breaking conformal symmetry. These metrics can be dialed to approximate well the geometries arising in certain classes of warped string compactifications. We find, similar to our earlier results on the Kaluza-Klein (KK) graviton, that these metrics give rise to phenomenologically significant shifts in the separation of KK gauge modes in the mass spectrum (up to factors of ~2) and their couplings to IR localized fields (up to factors of ~5-10 increase). We find that, despite shifts in the spectra, the constraint m_KK > 3 TeV from S remains robust in the class of 5-d mass gap metrics, and that the change to T is not significant enough to remove the need for custodial symmetry.

description: This paper presents an open tool for standardizing the evaluation process of the layout analysis task of document images at pixel level. We introduce a new evaluation tool that is both available as a standalone Java application and as a RESTful web service. This evaluation tool is free and open-source in order to be a common tool that anyone can use and contribute to. It aims at providing as many metrics as possible to investigate layout analysis predictions, and also provide an easy way of visualizing the results. This tool evaluates document segmentation at pixel level, and support multi-labeled pixel ground truth. Finally, this tool has been successfully used for the ICDAR2017 competition on Layout Analysis for Challenging Medieval Manuscripts.

description: The association between diet quality and head and neck cancer (HNC) was explored using a population-based case–control study of 1170 HNC cases and 1303 age-, race-, and sex-matched controls from the United States. Diet quality was assessed with three diet quality scores (DQS): (a) Healthy Eating Index 2005 (HEI-2005), (b) Mediterranean Diet Score (MDS), and (c) HNC-specific Mediterranean Diet Score (MDS-HNC), a modified MDS that we developed to be more applicable to HNC. Logistic regression models estimated adjusted odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) representing diet quality–incident HNC associations. We examined effect measure modification (EMM) by body mass index (BMI), race, cigarette smoking, and alcohol consumption and associational heterogeneity by HPV-positivity and tumor site. A one standard deviation summary DQS decrement suggested a consistent inverse association (ORs (CIs)) for the HEI-2005, MDS, and MDS-HNC: 1.35 (1.21, 1.50), 1.13 (1.02, 1.25), and 1.17 (1.06, 1.31), respectively. This association did not vary by tumor site or tumor HPV status, though additive EMM by alcohol use and by BMI was observed. Our findings suggest the Mediterranean diet can be used to study HNC in American populations, and that poor diet quality elevates HNC incidence, particularly among alcohol users.
Fact and Fiction: Portrayals of the Meiji Restoration in Anime

description: Japanese anime is a pervasive part of that country’s culture, and is a medium rather than a genre, often dealing in far more adult themes, ideas, and storylines than are typically associated with American animation. In this paper I will argue that anime both represents and reimagines the known historical narrative in a way that resonates with contemporary audiences. To do this, I will look at two shows, Peacemaker Kurogane and Rurouni Kenshin, both of which premiered in the late 1990s. This decade was a period of domestic and economic unrest for Japan, and themes relevant to the viewers of this era abound in these anime. First, though, it is important to provide some historical and political context in order to better understand the events, people, and thought processes of the Meiji Restoration. This will allow me to better explain and analyze their portrayal. The late 1860s were a tumultuous time for Japan. This period of Japanese history, known as the Meiji Restoration, was a huge turning point for the country: it opened the nation to foreign trade, customs, and industry; it saw the end of a 260-year-old regime; and it had a lasting effect on the Japanese consciousness. The name ‘Meiji Restoration’ simply refers to a restructuring of government power, but that is perhaps an oversimplification of the military conflicts and political disputes that characterized the period (Reischauer, Story 95). The events of the Meiji Restoration were unique in the progression of Japanese history, and those events and their perpetrators have left an indelible mark on Japanese society. These people and events can be seen in media as varied as movies, dramas, novels, manga, and anime; however, as I must limit my scope, this paper will focus solely on anime and how Restoration-era people, events, and themes are portrayed.

description: The specialization of the right and left hemispheres of the human brain and their differential processing strengths has long been studied in the field of neuropsychology. One notable division between the hemispheres, which has been the focus of research for many years, is the right hemisphere specialization for face processing and the left hemisphere specialization for word processing. However, given that the hemispheres are densely interconnected, one might also expect to observe some collaborative efforts between the hemispheres but the interhemispheric function has not been studied in much detail. One possible form of hemispheric division is as follows: individuals who have a greater hemispheric asymmetry for one class (faces or words) should show an equivalent asymmetry for the second class and those who show a more graded asymmetry should show it equally for both classes of stimuli. This division of labor may be individualized throughout a population, and we see that the hemispheric organization within individuals reflects the outcome of the face/word representational competition. The study of the balance of hemispheres is critical for understanding visual-perceptual processes both typical individuals as well as atypical neurological patients with deficits in face or word recognition.
The structure of state transition graphs in hysteresis models with return point memory: I. General Theory

description: We consider the athermal quasi-static dynamics (AQS) of disordered systems driven by a slowly varying external field. Our interest is in an automaton description (AQS-A) that represents the AQS dynamics in terms of the graph of state transitions triggered by the driving field. A particular feature of these systems is return point memory (RPM), a tendency for the system to return to the same microstate upon cycling the field. It is known that the existence of three conditions, (1) a partial order on the set of configuration; (2) a no-passing property; and (3) an adiabatic response to monotonous driving fields, implies RPM. When periodically driven, such systems settle into a cyclic response after a transient of at most one period. However conditions (1)-(3) are only sufficient but not necessary. In fact, we show that the AQS dynamics naturally provides a more selective partial order which, due to its connection to hysteresis loops, is a natural choice for establishing RPM. This enables us to consider AQS-A exhibiting RPM without necessarily possessing the no-passing property. We call such automata $\ell$AQS-A and work out the structure of their state transition graphs. Our central finding is that RPM constrains the {\em intra-loop} structure of hysteresis loops, namely its hierarchical organization into sub loops, but not the {\em inter-loop} structure. We prove that the topology of the intra-loop structure has a natural representation in terms of an ordered tree and that the corresponding state transition graph is planar. On the other hand, the RPM property does not significantly restrict inter-loop transitions. A system exhibiting RPM and subject to periodic forcing can thus undergo a large number of transient cycles before settling into a periodic response. Such systems can even exhibit subharmonic response.

description: By using both thermal field theory and a somewhat more intuitive method, we define the electric charge as well as the charge radius of neutrinos propagating inside a plasma. We show that electron neutrinos acquire a charge radius of order $\sim 6.5 \times 10^{-16}$ cm, regardless of the properties of the medium. Then, we compute the rate of plasmon decay which such an electric charge or a charge radius implies. Taking into account the relativistic effects of the degenerate electron gas, we compare our results to various approximations as well as to recent calculations and determine the regimes where the electric charge or the charge radius does mediate the decay of plasmons. Finally, we discuss the stellar limits on any anomalous charge radius of neutrinos.

description: Background: The relationship between germline genetic variation and breast cancer survival is largely unknown, especially in understudied minority populations who often have poorer survival. Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have interrogated breast cancer survival but often are underpowered due to subtype heterogeneity and clinical covariates and detect loci in non-coding regions that are difficult to interpret. Transcriptome-wide association studies (TWAS) show increased power in detecting functionally relevant loci by leveraging expression quantitative trait loci (eQTLs) from external reference panels in relevant tissues. However, ancestry- or race-specific reference panels may be needed to draw correct inference in ancestrally diverse cohorts. Such panels for breast cancer are lacking. Results: We provide a framework for TWAS for breast cancer in diverse populations, using data from the Carolina Breast Cancer Study (CBCS), a population-based cohort that oversampled black women. We perform eQTL analysis for 406 breast cancer-related genes to train race-stratified predictive models of tumor expression from germline genotypes. Using these models, we impute expression in independent data from CBCS and TCGA, accounting for sampling variability in assessing performance. These models are not applicable across race, and their predictive performance varies across tumor subtype. Within CBCS (N = 3,828), at a false discovery-adjusted significance of 0.10 and stratifying for race, we identify associations in black women near AURKA, CAPN13, PIK3CA, and SERPINB5 via TWAS that are underpowered in GWAS. Conclusions: We show that carefully implemented and thoroughly validated TWAS is an efficient approach for understanding the genetics underpinning breast cancer outcomes in diverse populations.

description: We study the orientifold of the ${\mathcal{N}} = 1$ superconformal field theories describing D3-branes probing the Suspended Pinch Point singularity, as well as the orientifolds of non-chiral theories obtained by a specific orbifold $\mathbb{Z}_n$ of SPP. We find that these models realize a mechanism analogous to the one recently found for the orientifold of the complex Calabi-Yau cone over the Pseudo del Pezzo surface PdP$_{3c}$: they all flow to a new IR fixed point such that the value of the $a$-charge is less than half the one of the oriented theory. We also find that the value of $a$ coincides with the charge of specific orientifolds of the toric singularities $L^{(\bar{n},\bar{n},\bar{n})}$ with $\bar{n}=3n/2$ for $n$ even or $L^{(\bar{n},\bar{n}+1,\bar{n})}$ with $\bar{n}=(3n{-}1)/2$ for $n$ odd, suggesting the existence of an IR duality.

description: The extent of intra-individual and inter-individual variability is an important factor in determining the statistical, and hence possibly clinical, significance of observed differences in the EEG. This study investigates the changes in classical quantitative EEG (qEEG) measures, as well as of parameters obtained by fitting frequency spectra to a continuum model of brain electrical activity. These parameters may have extra variability due to model selection and fitting. Besides estimating levels of intra-individual and inter-individual variability, we determine approximate time scales for change in qEEG measures and model parameters. This provides an estimate of the recording length needed to capture a given percentage of the total intra-individual variability. Also, if more precise time scales can be obtained in future, these may aid the characterization of physiological processes underlying various EEG measures. Heterogeneity of the subject group was constrained by testing only healthy males in a narrow age range (mean = 22.3 years, sd = 2.7). Resting eyes-closed EEGs of 32 subjects were recorded at weekly intervals over an approximately six-week period. Of these, 13 subjects had follow-up recordings spanning up to a year. QEEG measures, computed from Cz spectra, were powers in five frequency bands, alpha peak frequency, and spectral entropy. Of these, theta, alpha, and beta band powers were most reproducible. Of nine model parameters obtained by fitting model predictions to experiment, the most reproducible ones quantified the total power and the time delay between cortex and thalamus. About 95% of the maximum change in spectral parameters was reached within minutes of recording time, implying that repeat recordings are not necessary to capture the bulk of the variability in EEG spectra likely to occur in the resting eyes-closed state on the scale of a year.

description: The financial implications of breast cancer diagnosis may be greater among rural and black women. Women with incident breast cancer were recruited as part of the Carolina Breast Cancer Study. We compared unadjusted and adjusted prevalence of cancer-related job or income loss, and a composite measure of either outcome, by rural residence and stratified by race. We included 2435 women: 11.7% were rural; 48.5% were black; and 38.0% reported employment changes after diagnosis. Rural women more often reported employment effects, including reduced household income (43.6% vs 35.4%, two-sided ?2 test P =. 04). Rural white, rural black, and urban black women each more often reported income reduction (statistically significant vs. urban white women), although these groups did not meaningfully differ from each other. In multivariable regression, rural differences were mediated by socioeconomic factors, but racial differences remained. Programs and policies to reduce financial toxicity in vulnerable patients should address indirect costs of cancer, including lost wages and employment.

description: Characterizing the asymptomatic spread of SARS-CoV-2 is important for understanding the COVID-19 pandemic. This study was aimed at determining asymptomatic spread of SARS-CoV-2 in a suburban, Southern U.S. population during a period of state restrictions and physical distancing mandates. This is one of the first published seroprevalence studies from North Carolina and included multicenter, primary care, and emergency care facilities serving a low-density, suburban and rural population since description of the North Carolina state index case introducing the SARS-CoV-2 respiratory pathogen to this population. To estimate point seroprevalence of SARS-CoV-2 among asymptomatic individuals over time, two cohort studies were examined. The first cohort study, named ScreenNC, was comprised of outpatient clinics, and the second cohort study, named ScreenNC2, was comprised of inpatients unrelated to COVID-19. Asymptomatic infection by SARS-CoV-2 (with no clinical symptoms) was examined using an Emergency Use Authorization (EUA)-approved antibody test (Abbott) for the presence of SARS-CoV-2 IgG. This assay as performed under CLIA had a reported specificity/sensitivity of 100%/99.6%. ScreenNC identified 24 out of 2,973 (0.8%) positive individuals among asymptomatic participants accessing health care during 28 April to 19 June 2020, which was increasing over time. A separate cohort, ScreenNC2, sampled from 3 March to 4 June 2020, identified 10 out of 1,449 (0.7%) positive participants. IMPORTANCE This study suggests limited but accelerating asymptomatic spread of SARS-CoV-2. Asymptomatic infections, like symptomatic infections, disproportionately affected vulnerable communities in this population, and seroprevalence was higher in African American participants than in White participants. The low, overall prevalence may reflect the success of shelter-in-place mandates at the time this study was performed and of maintaining effective physical distancing practices among suburban populations. Under these public health measures and aggressive case finding, outbreak clusters did not spread into the general population.
The de Finetti theorem for test spaces

description: We prove a de Finetti theorem for exchangeable sequences of states on test spaces, where a test space is a generalization of the sample space of classical probability theory and the Hilbert space of quantum theory. The standard classical and quantum de Finetti theorems are obtained as special cases. By working in a test space framework, the common features that are responsible for the existence of these theorems are elucidated. In addition, the test space framework is general enough to imply a de Finetti theorem for classical processes. We conclude by discussing the ways in which our assumptions may fail, leading to probabilistic models that do not have a de Finetti theorem.

description: Popular media in the United States is "selling dreams" to the public. This is the end goal of the advertising industry according to Marc Baptiste, one of the leading fashion photographers in the United States. In an interview for Darryl Robert's documentary America the Beautiful, Baptiste explains that he routinely retouches his photographs to make his subjects look as perfect as possible. He claims that this is the most effective method to market products to the public. Roberts' documentary goes on to reveal many ways the media "sells dreams", including transforming a twelve-year-old girl into a supermodel. Roberts reaches the conclusion that the media, pop culture, and the fashion industry set increasingly unrealistic ideals of beauty that negatively impact the body satisfaction of the American populace and create dangerous role models for America's youth.
Occurrence of plasmids pXF64-Hb_ESVL and pUCLA-ESVL associated with infections caused by Xylella fastidiosa subsp. multiplex ST6 in the demarcated area of Alicante, Spain

description: An outbreak of Xylella fastidiosa (Xf) subsp. multiplex ST6 was first identified in June 2017 in Alicante province (Valencian Community, Spain) affecting mainly almond trees, but also other species including ornamentals, cultivated Prunus spp. and landscape plants. The current demarcated area (DA) in Alicante covers 134,581 hectares, and affects more than 70 municipalities. Genetic analysis may provide evidence of biological, ecological and host-range diversity among Xf strains of the same subspecies and STs and help to elucidate the pathway of introduction and spread in an affected area. Pairwise comparisons of the chromosomal genomes of two ST6-sequenced strains isolated from almond trees in Alicante, ESVL and IVIA5901, showed an average nucleotide identity higher than 99.9%. Interestingly, the two strains differ for the presence of the plasmids pXF64-Hb_ESVL and pUCLA-ESVL detected only in the ESVL strain. The aim of this study was to determine the incidence and distribution of plasmid-bearing strains of Xf subsp. multiplex ST6 in Alicante. PCR tests were performed on 20 strains isolated from different hosts, and on approximately 100 DNA samples from infected almond trees collected in eight municipalities within the DA of Alicante. PCR results on the cultured isolates showed the occurrence of ST6-strains harbouring the two plasmids, or only the plasmid pUCLA-ESVL or none of them. Interestingly, in some of the DNA samples from infected almonds, only the plasmid pXF64-Hb_ESVL could be detected. More specifically, 4% of ST6-infected samples harboured the plasmid pXF64-Hb_ESVL, 12% only pUCLA-ESVL, 16% both plasmids, and 44% neither of the two plasmids. In five of the eight municipalities, we found samples harbouring the two plasmids, and only in the samples from the municipality of Benifato the PCR tests failed to amplify the targeted plasmids. Future work will increase the number of samples to cover the entire DA to better understand and relate the presence of plasmids to the epidemiology of this disease in combination with the use of multilocus sequence typing and genome sequencing of more Xf subsp. multiplex ST6 strains.
Analytical Process Noise Covariance Modeling for Absolute and Relative Orbits

description: This paper develops new analytical process noise covariance models for both absolute and relative spacecraft states. Process noise is always present when propagating a spacecraft state due to dynamics modeling deficiencies. Accurately modeling this noise is essential for sequential orbit determination and improves satellite conjunction analysis. A common approach called state noise compensation models process noise as zero-mean Gaussian white noise accelerations. The resulting process noise covariance can be evaluated numerically, which is computationally intensive, or through a widely used analytical model that is restricted to an absolute Cartesian state and small propagation intervals. Moreover, mathematically rigorous, analytical process noise covariance models for relative spacecraft states are not currently available. To address these limitations of the state of the art, new analytical process noise covariance models are developed for state noise compensation for both Cartesian and orbital element absolute state representations by leveraging spacecraft relative dynamics models. Two frameworks are then presented for modeling the process noise covariance of relative spacecraft states by assuming either small or large interspacecraft separation. The presented techniques are validated through numerical simulations.

description: A theoretical explanation of the observed splittings among the P~states of charmonium is given with the use of a nonsingular potential model for heavy quarkonia. We also show that the recently observed mass difference between the center of gravity of the ${}^3P_J$ states and the ${}^1P_1$ state of $c\bar{c}$ does not provide a direct test of the color hyperfine interaction in heavy quarkonia. Our theoretical value for the mass of the ${}^1P_1$ state is in agreement with the experimental result, and its E1 transition width is 341.8~keV. The mass of the $η_c'$ state is predicted to be 3622.3~MeV.

description: We have studied the stellar and interstellar environments of two luminous X-ray sources and five ultraluminous X-ray sources (ULXs) in order to gain insight into their nature. Archival Hubble Space Telescope images were used to identify the optical counterparts of the ULXs Ho IX X-1 and NGC 1313 X-2, and to make photometric measurements of the local stellar populations of these and the luminous source IC 10 X-1. We obtained high-dispersion spectroscopic observations of the nebulae around these seven sources to search for He II λ4686 emission and to estimate the expansion velocities and kinetic energies of these nebulae. Our observations did not detect nebular He II emission from any source, with the exception of LMC X-1; this is either because we missed the He III regions or because the nebulae are too diffuse to produce He II surface brightnesses that lie within our detection limit. We compare the observed ionization and kinematics of the supershells around the ULXs Ho IX X-1 and NGC 1313 X-2 with the energy feedback expected from the underlying stellar population to assess whether additional energy contributions from the ULXs are needed. In both cases, we find insufficient UV fluxes or mechanical energies from the stellar population; thus these ULXs may be partially responsible for the ionization and energetics of their supershells. All seven sources that we studied are in young stellar environments, and six of them have optical counterparts with masses 7 M; thus, these sources are most likely high-mass X-ray binaries.

description: The great variations of videographic skills, camera designs, compression and processing protocols, and displays lead to an enormous variety of video impairments. Current no-reference (NR) video quality models are unable to handle this diversity of distortions. This is true in part because available video quality assessment databases contain very limited content, fixed resolutions, were captured using a small number of camera devices by a few videographers and have been subjected to a modest number of distortions. As such, these databases fail to adequately represent real world videos, which contain very different kinds of content obtained under highly diverse imaging conditions and are subject to authentic, often commingled distortions that are impossible to simulate. As a result, NR video quality predictors tested on real-world video data often perform poorly. Towards advancing NR video quality prediction, we constructed a large-scale video quality assessment database containing 585 videos of unique content, captured by a large number of users, with wide ranges of levels of complex, authentic distortions. We collected a large number of subjective video quality scores via crowdsourcing. A total of 4776 unique participants took part in the study, yielding more than 205000 opinion scores, resulting in an average of 240 recorded human opinions per video. We demonstrate the value of the new resource, which we call the LIVE Video Quality Challenge Database (LIVE-VQC), by conducting a comparison of leading NR video quality predictors on it. This study is the largest video quality assessment study ever conducted along several key dimensions: number of unique contents, capture devices, distortion types and combinations of distortions, study participants, and recorded subjective scores.

description: Objectives: The 8th edition AJCC staging guidelines for head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) recently introduced pathologic staging criteria for nodal disease among p16-positive patients. In this study we evaluate pathologic staging in p16-negative HNSCC. Materials and Methods: We compared pathologic staging to the 7th and 8th edition AJCC staging systems using a statewide population-based cohort. All M0 p16-negative surgical patients were included. The outcome was five-year overall survival. Results: Of 304 patients identified, 113 were N0, 157 had 1–4 positive nodes, and 34 had ≥4 nodes. Survival was 71% (95% CI 61–78%) with no nodes, 48% (36%−60%) for 1–4 nodes, and 24% (11 – 39%) for > 4 nodes. When compared to the AJCC systems, the pathologic staging yielded a larger total survival gradient, more montonic survival, better consistency across primary sites, and a slightly lower Bayesian information criterion (1510 vs 1538). After adjusting for disease characteristics, demographics, and tobacco use, hazard ratios for survival were similar using pathologic and AJCC criteria. Conclusion: In this cohort, pathological staging was more prognostic than AJCC staging. This is the first study to evaluate pathologic staging in p16-negative cancer; if these findings are verified, a universal nodal staging system could be introduced.

description: In this paper we will realize the polynomial Heisenberg algebras through the harmonic oscillator. We are going to construct then the Barut-Girardello coherent states, which coincide with the so-called multiphoton coherent states, and we will analyze the corresponding Heisenberg uncertainty relation and Wigner distribution function for some particular cases. We will show that these states are intrinsically quantum and cyclic, with a period being a fraction of the oscillator period. The associated geometric phases will be as well evaluated.

description: Understanding of xylem sap microbiome is becoming of relevant importance for plant health as it could include microbes that may protect against xylem-limited pathogens, such as Xylella fastidiosa, and supporting key biological processes. Furthermore, the negative pressure, low oxygen and nutrient content of the xylem sap make it a unique and unexplored microbial environment. In this study, we evaluated the differences obtained in the characterisation of the xylem microbiome composition when using xylem sap extracted from xylem vessels using a Scholander pressure chamber or when using macerated fine chips obtained from xylem tissues from 10-year-old or 1-year-old olive trees. We also compared four different PCR primer pairs targeting 16S rRNA for their efficacy to avoid co-amplification of mitochondria and chloroplast 16S rRNA, as this suppose an important drawback in metabarcoding studies. PCR primers tested included 799F/1062 (V5-V6), 799F/1115 (V5-V6), 967/1391 (V6-V8) and 799F/1193 (V5-V7). Illumina paired-end sequence quality control and chimeric filtering was performed with DADA2 using QIIME2. Taxonomy affiliation into OTUs at 99% was based on the Silva reference database. The highest mitochondria and chloroplast amplification was obtained when using xylem chips and 799F/1062 (77.7%) and 967/1391 (99.6%) primers. On the contrary, 799F/1115 and 799F/1193 primers showed the lowest mitochondria (< 6.76%) and chloroplasts (< 0.02%) amplification, and the highest number of OTUs identified, 245 and 247, respectively. Interestingly, only 81/236 and 27/240 OTUs or 66/144 and 21/149 genera were shared between xylem sap or wood shavings after amplification with 799F/1115 or 799F/1193, respectively. The most abundant bacterial genera (> 50% of reads) included Anoxybacillus, Cutibacterium, Methylobacterium, Pseudomonas, Rathayibacter, Sphingomonas and Spirosoma. However, their relative importance varied depending of the matrix and primer pairs used. These results will help to optimise analysis of xylem microbiome community composition and more importantly to understand its driving and modifying factors.
