APPLICATION OF AN IMPROVED 2-DIMENSIONAL HIGH-THROUGHPUT SOYBEAN ROOT PHENOTYPING PLATFORM TO IDENTIFY NOVEL GENETIC VARIANTS REGULATING ROOT ARCHITECTURE TRAITS

Nutrient-efficient root system architecture (RSA) is becoming an important breeding objective for generating crop varieties with improved nutrient and water acquisition efficiency.Genetic variants shaping soybean RSA is key in improving nutrient and water acquisition.Here, we report on the use of an improved 2-dimensional high-throughput root pheno

Preserving intraspecific phenotypic variation within socio-economically important but declining species is fundamental in the current context of rapid change in land use and environmental conditions.Balanites aegyptiaca (L.) Delile is a valuable seed oil tree species native to the arid and semi-arid Fabric Wall Hanging regions of Africa.Notable mor

Ayurveda is one of the oldest systems of medicine in the world, but the growing commercial interest in Ayurveda based products has increased the incentive for adulteration and substitution within this herbal market.Fraudulent practices such as the use of undeclared fillers and use of other species of inferior quality is driven both by the increased

Bearded irises are ornamental plants with distinctive floral fragrance grown worldwide.To identify the floral scent profiles, twenty-seven accessions derived from three bearded iris, including Iris.germanica, I.pumila and I.pallida were used Standard Pillow to investigate the composition and relative contents of floral scent components by headspace

Abstract Background With the rapid emergence of RNA databases and newly identified non-coding RNAs, an efficient compression algorithm for RNA sequence and structural information is needed for the storage and analysis of such data.Although several algorithms for compressing DNA sequences have been proposed, none of them are suitable for the compres
