Timing of germination is presumably under strong natural selection as it determines the
environmental conditions in which a plant germinates and initiates its postembryonic life cycle. …

To exploit the diversity in Arabidopsis thaliana, eight founder accessions were crossed to
produce six recombinant inbred line (RIL) subpopulations, together called an Arabidopsis …

Dormancy is a state of metabolic arrest that facilitates the survival of organisms during
environmental conditions incompatible with their regular course of life. Many organisms have …

Matrix-associated regions may be useful for studying the role of chromatin architecture in
transgene activity of transformed plants. The chicken lysozyme A element was shown to have …

Key message Nineteen tuber quality traits in potato were phenotyped in 205 cultivars and 299
breeder clones. Association analysis using 3364 AFLP loci and 653 SSR-alleles identified …

Assessment of the impact of variation in chloroplast and mitochondrial DNA (collectively
termed the plasmotype) on plant phenotypes is challenging due to the difficulty in separating …

Background: In nutritional epidemiology, dealing with confounding and complex internutrient
relations are major challenges. An often-used approach is dietary pattern analyses, such …

Effects of three oils accommodated in sea water upon the growth of unialgal cultures of marine
phytoplankton were investigated. The oil concentrations used covered the range normally …

Suspension cultures were initiated from callus cultures of Allium cepa, which had been
precultured on a solidified medium for 7 months. For another 3 months the 83 callus lines were …
