The same western blot image used 23 times in 14 different papers by one Japanese team. The image has been labelled as representing a range of experiments and proteins. This is the most I have ever seen. Perhaps it is a record?

Happy to share that our paper has been published 🎉in Theoretical and Applied Genetics.
This study examines the genetic basis of resistance to root-lesion nematodes in triticale and provides tools for cereal breeding programs.

Zengcui Zhang et al. investigated the wheat–Parastagonospora nodorum pathosystem, a model for necrotrophic fungal interactions where SnTox3 induces disease via an inverse gene-for-gene mechanism. @FarisGenLab Learn more: doi.org/10.1094/MPMI-10-24-0…
ALT Flow cytometric analysis of mitotic metaphase chromosomes isolated from wheat Sumai 3 wild-type and mutant genotypes. A, The 4′,6-diamidino-2-phenylindole (DAPI) versus fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC) dot plot was obtained after the analysis of DAPI-stained chromosomes labeled by fluorescence in situ hybridization in suspension (FISHIS) with FITC-conjugated probes for GAA microsatellites. B, 5B chromosomes were sorted from the sorting window shown as a red rectangle in A at purities of 79.4 to 87.5%. 5B chromosomes after FISH with probes for pSc119.2 (green), Afa family (red), and 45S rDNA (yellow); chromosomes were counterstained by DAPI (blue).
