Researchers used computer-based analysis to identify genes in tef that respond to drought. This information can help improve crop productivity and global food security.
This study compares two plant species, Marchantia polymorpha and Ceratodon purpureus, and their genetic mechanisms for sexual dimorphism. The findings suggest that different species exhibit distinct ways of controlling sexual development, which emphasizes the need for further research in understanding the evolution of sexual dimorphism.
Researchers investigated the defense response of pepper roots to Phytophthora capsici infection, a destructive disease in pepper production. Understanding this molecular mechanism can help develop effective strategies for disease management.
Scientists identified two SNP markers (LG3_22903756 and LG4_2449919) associated with Fusarium root rot resistance in sweet potatoes. These markers can be used to develop molecular markers for selecting resistant varieties and aid in functional analysis of candidate genes.
Scientists sequenced the complete chloroplast genome of Linnaeus 1755 (Lemon basil) and found it to be 152,460 bp long, containing 134 unique genes. Phylogenetic analysis showed its close relationship to other species, offering insights into its medicinal properties.
Researchers studied the transcriptome of pink and red flowers in low temperatures, finding up-regulation of anthocyanin metabolism enzymes and identifying key genes involved in flavonoid pathways. This highlights the significance of these compounds and cold resistance genes in plant survival in cold environments.
Researchers identified and studied miR396 and its targets in Jerusalem artichoke. They found that miR396 and its targets play important roles in plant growth, development, and responses to stress. This information can help inform decisions related to stress management in Jerusalem artichoke cultivation.
The study investigates the genetics of conifer species PM, TH, and TP to understand their population structure and adaptability. The research highlights the challenges of increasing sample sizes, species diversity, nucleic acid isolation, sequencing cost, and plastic waste generation in genetic and genomic studies.
