Warming and drought are reducing global crop production with a potential to substantially
worsen global malnutrition. As with the green revolution in the last century, plant genetics …

Studying the genetics of adaptation to new environments in ecologically and industrially
important tree species is currently a major research line in the fields of plant science and …

Poplar is one of the most important forest trees because of its high economic value. Thanks

The genomic architecture and molecular mechanisms controlling variation in quantitative
disease resistance loci are not well understood in plant species and have been barely …

Discoveries of adaptive gene knockouts and widespread losses of complete genes have in
recent years led to a major rethink of the early view that loss-of-function alleles are almost …

Amur ide (Leuciscus waleckii), a Cyprinid species, is broadly distributed in Northeast Asia.
Different from its freshwater counterparts, the population in Lake Dali Nor has a strong …

It is now well-documented that gene knockout (loss-of-function) alleles have played a
prominent role in crop evolution during domestication, diversification, and improvement. This …

Teak (Tectona grandis Linn. f.) is considered one of the most expensive hardwoods in the
world. The dispersion of the species over the years has taken the teak beyond its first …
