Since the mid-1800s, human activities have rapidly facilitated the spread of rice yellow mottle virus (RYMV), a pathogen that ...

Songbirds who make the arduous flight from their nesting sites in northern boreal forests to warm, southern climates in the winter may be rewarded for their journey with greater genetic diversity.

A new genomic study has unlocked the genetic secrets behind the breeding of flowering Chinese cabbage—a popular leafy ...

It is thus encouraging that the Bengal Biodiversity Board has launched an initiative to bring near-lost varieties of rice and cereals back to Bengal’s kitchens. Alongside, it is also running the Avoy ...

The publication of these ancient genomes marks a significant step forward in our understanding of the genetic diversity and historical dynamics of Papua New Guinea. It invites further exploration and ...

The resulting data set, now publicly available, represents one of the most comprehensive resources on global HLA gene diversity ... systematically explored the genetic correlations between ...

"Without the WA Museum's extensive collection and genetic resources, this work would not have been possible. Museum collections are key to understanding biodiversity," Dr. Travouillon said.

Researchers say they can improve rice harvests and grain quality by essentially turning off a temperature-sensitive gene found in some common rice varieties.
