Bread wheat expanded its habitat from a core area of the Fertile Crescent to global
environments within ~10,000 years. The genetic mechanisms of this remarkable evolutionary …

The natural gas hydrates-bearing shaly silt reservoirs are considered to be the most difficult
target in exploitation. The first trial production test of the gas hydrate in the South China Sea …

Key message Next-generation sequencing enabled a fast discovery of a major QTL controlling
early flowering in cucumber, corresponding to the FT gene conditioning flowering time in …

Controlled pedigrees and the multi-decade timescale of national crop plant breeding programs
offer a unique experimental context for examining how selection affects plant genomes. …

The first offshore natural gas hydrate production test of China in 2017 has proved the feasibility
of hydrate exploitation from clayey-silt reservoirs, which possesses the highest reservoirs …

Sulfate-driven anaerobic oxidation of methane (SO 4 -AOM) in marine sediments commonly
leads to the precipitation of pyrite. It is, however, frequently challenging to unequivocally …

Studying the genetic signatures of climate-driven selection can produce insights into local
adaptation and the potential impacts of climate change on populations. The honey bee (Apis …

Abstract Structure type, gas composition and cage occupancy are important gas hydrate
characteristics which play an important role in calculating gas hydrate stability and estimating …

Uncovering genetic variation through resequencing is limited by the fact that only sequences
with similarity to the reference genome are examined. Reference genomes are often …

Diversity surveys of crop germplasm are important for gaining insights into the genomic basis
for plant architecture and grain yield improvement, which is still poorly understood in wheat…
