Genotyping Errors in a Calibrated DNA Register: Implications for Identification of Individuals

Researchers have performed the first investigation of genotyping error rates in a wildlife DNA register and the first application of mixed models to examine multiple effects of different factors influencing the genotyping quality.

Basic research enhances potential for crop cultivation in extreme climates

Research on gene expression has resulted in plants that can survive drought, high salt concentrations, and infections. This opens the possibility of forestry in harsh climates. The plants produce more leaves than usual, which mean that they can yield more food per pla

Researchers sequence genomes of fungi that threaten wheat, poplars

An international team of researchers co-led by a U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) scientist has sequenced the genomes of two fungal pathogens-one that threatens global wheat supplies and another that limits production of a tree crop valued as a future source for biofuel.

Genome-scale computational analysis of DNA curvature and repeats in Arabidopsis and rice uncovers plant-specific genomic properties

Not all of the chromosomes in plants follow the same rules common to other prokaryote and eukaryote organisms, suggesting that some of these genomic properties might be considered as specific to plants.

What makes the cherry trees bloom when they do?

Here’s how it works. Every morning when the sun breaks over the horizon — no matter what time of year it is — a clock starts ticking inside the trees. After a specific number of hours, the plants’ cells start producing high levels of a molecule known as the FT protein. This protein is responsible for initiating processes that help the plant grow.
