Since landraces form the basis for trait introgression in pre-breeding, understanding these traits’ genetic underpinnings and relation...

Molecular genetic diversity in these geographical populations was as high as in India, the Asian center of melon domestication. Large seed-type from Northern Africa were assigned to Pop4 by structure analysis and had...

..., and one non-functional subhaplotype, HapF^DEL, responsible for white-skinned phenotype. HapF1 likely originated from wild populations domesticated in the Near East and subsequently spread globally with the expansion of viticulture. In contrast, HapF2 has a more restricted distribution and may...

... suggests their predominance in North India, where they are depicted in various contexts, e.g. hunting, deification, and domestication from the Mesolithic to the historical period ( supplementary tables S3A and S3B, Supplementary Material online). The rock art pattern also suggests they were hunted...

Domestic dogs offer a compelling model as they demonstrate more phenotypic variation than any other vertebrate species. Dogs have been intensely...

... of domestication on plant traits is frequently highlighted in modern agriculture. It is often argued that domesticated plants have lost competitive ability due to reduced phenotypic plasticity. This study investigates whether domestication has affected competitive ability, functional trait values, and plasticity...

Using representative members of green algae, bryophytes, lycophytes, gymnosperms, and angiosperms, we expanded the evolutionary history of NAC transcription factors to unveil the relationships among members of this gene family. We found a massive increase in the number...

Further information on this would be important to increase soybean P use efficiency. To address this gap, 48 soybean...
