The woodland strawberry, Fragaria vesca (2n = 2x = 14), is a versatile experimental plant
system. This diminutive herbaceous perennial has a small genome (240 Mb), is amenable to …

Alternative splicing can enhance transcriptome plasticity and proteome diversity. In plants,
alternative splicing can be manifested at different developmental stages, and is frequently …

It has been argued that the evolution of plant genome size is principally unidirectional and
increasing owing to the varied action of whole-genome duplications (WGDs) and mobile …

Although a large number of single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) markers covering the
entire genome are needed to enable molecular breeding efforts such as genome wide …

C 4 and C 3 photosynthesis differ in the efficiency with which they consume water and
nitrogen. Engineering traits of the more efficient C 4 photosynthesis into C 3 crops could …

Phenotyping has become the rate-limiting step in using large-scale genomic data to understand
and improve agricultural crops. Here, the Bellwether Phenotyping Platform for controlled-…

Purpose: The authors determine if specific features of the clinical presentation of acute
postoperative endophthalmitis correlate with the microbiologic culture results. Methods: A total of …

3-Monochloro-1,2-propanediol (3-MCPD) is a by-product found in trace amounts, generally
less than 1 mg/kg (<1 ppm), in hydrolyzed vegetable protein produced through acid …

High-throughput genome scans are important tools for genetic studies and breeding
applications. Here, a 6K SNP array for use with the Illumina Infinium® system was developed for …

Spirodela polyrhiza is a fast‐growing aquatic monocot with highly reduced morphology,
genome size and number of protein‐coding genes. Considering these biological features of …
