Revealing DNA resection regulatory mechanisms during meiosis and its application for barley breeding

i-1
 Barley is one of the world's most widely-cultivated cereals. To improve hardiness, yield, or other desired traits, barley breeders cross different varieties to enrich beneficial genes. This is achieved through a process known as homologous recombination, which results in genetic diversity through the exchange of materials between chromosomes....

Asian oysters are dominant on Sweden’s west coast

Stillahavsostron_250-dpi-foto-Youk-Greeve
 The Pacific oyster has taken over in the Swedish west coast county of Bohuslän. Researchers at the University of Gothenburg have found that the invasive species accounts for two-thirds of the biomass of all mussel and oyster species. This is not necessarily a bad thing, except for beachgoers, who can cut themselves easily on the razor-sharp s...
