How one can lost a major part of its genome in just 10 million years?
If you want to find out how one can lost a major part of its genome in just 10 million years or so, and to … Read the rest
Although there are relatively few miRNAs in Arabidopsis, they are more highly connected than one would expect by chance, and form regulatory networks with many direct interactions.
These networks in turn have important roles in the control of development. Read … Read the rest
Implications of next-generation sequencing enabled genetic approaches for plant biology and plant breeding.
In this review, we discuss the implications of next-generation sequencing enabled genetic approaches for plant biology and plant breeding.… Read the rest
In maize, many genes of small effects explain variation in flowering time.
In contrast, we report in this paper here that a large portion of flowering-time variation in A. thaliana can be explained by large-effect loci, but that these tend … Read the rest
