Network Biology Approaches to Identify Molecular and Systems-Level Difference...
The field of systems biology endeavors to map, study, and simulate cellular systems and their underlying mechanisms. The internal mechanisms of biological systems can be... -
SignaLink: Multilayered Regulatory Networks
Biological networks are graphs used to represent the inner workings of a biological system. Networks describe the relationships of the elements of biological systems using edges... -
Evaluation of gene expression of different molecular biomarkers of stress res...
The paper reports the results of a laboratory test on the bioaccumulation and toxicological effects of sub-lethal soil concentration of copper, a widely used fungicide in... -
SpikeletFCN: Counting Spikelets from Infield Wheat Crop Images Using Fully Co...
Currently, crop management through automatic monitoring is growing momentum, but presents various challenges. One key challenge is to quantify yield traits from images captured... -
Genomic prediction unifies animal and plant breeding programs to form platfor...
The rate of annual yield increases for major staple crops must more than double relative to current levels in order to feed a predicted global population of 9 billion by 2050.... -
Speed breeding in growth chambers and glasshouses for crop breeding and model...
To meet the challenge of feeding a growing population, breeders and scientists are continuously looking for ways to increase genetic gain in crop breeding. One way this can be... -
Adaptation and conservation insights from the koala genome
The koala, the only extant species of the marsupial family Phascolarctidae, is classified as ‘vulnerable’ due to habitat loss and widespread disease. We sequenced the koala... -
Experimental evidence for rapid genomic adaptation to a new niche in an adapt...
A substantial part of biodiversity is thought to have arisen from adaptive radiations in which one lineage rapidly diversified into multiple lineages specialized to many... -
Integration of transcriptomic and metabolic data reveals hub transcription fa...
Drought is one of the most important environmental stresses that effects crop productivity in many agricultural regions. Sunflower is tolerant to drought conditions but the... -
Plant metabolic engineering in the synthetic biology era: plant chassis selec...
In the July 2017 Gordon Research Conference on Plant Metabolic Engineering that was held in Waterville Valley, New Hampshire, an intriguing discussion began. This discussion... -
Data management and best practice for plant science
Plant research produces data in a profusion of types and scales, and in ever-increasing volume. What are the challenges and opportunities presented by data management in... -
Speed breeding is a powerful tool to accelerate crop research and breeding
The growing human population and a changing environment have raised significant concern for global food security, with the current improvement rate of several important crops... -
Sixteen diverse laboratory mouse reference genomes define strain-specific hap...
We report full-length draft de novo genome assemblies for 16 widely used inbred mouse strains and find extensive strain-specific haplotype variation. We identify and... -
The ash dieback invasion of Europe was founded by two genetically divergent i...
Accelerating international trade and climate change make pathogen spread an increasing concern. Hymenoscyphus fraxineus, the causal agent of ash dieback, is a fungal pathogen... -
Population Structure of Red Clover Ecotypes Collected from Europe and Asia
Red clover (Trifolium pratense L.) is a highly adaptable species, with a wide geographic distribution. At the genetic level, wild ecotypes possess high variability, which...
