Genetic alterations during ageing of rice seeds were analyzed using SSR markers. In the first experiment, seeds of 10 accessions of rice were subjected to artificial ageing in chambers conditioned to ...

Certain vegetables like tomatoes, peppers, peas, and beans have self-pollinating flowers and need little to no special care ...

In the 1970s, more than 11,000 samples of agricultural and wild plants’ seeds have been stored at the depth of eleven meters TASS, July 2. Scientists of the Vavilov Institute of Plant Genetic ...

In 1879, botanist William J. Beal filled 20 bottles with soil and seeds and buried them on what is now Michigan State University’s campus grounds. In April 2021, the 16th bottle was unearthed, and its ...

Somewhere in Oregon — it's hoped — there is an ash tree genetically inclined to survive a looming existential threat. It would look just like any other Oregon ash, a species now at risk of functional ...

Senescence is a decline in function and fitness, generally resulting in an increase in mortality rate with increasing age. It evolves because the effectiveness of selection declines with age ...

We report the quantitative genetic analysis of seed oil quality and quantity in six Arabidopsis thaliana recombinant inbred populations, in which the parent accessions were from diverse geographical ...

In a vault kept at −18 °C in Fort Collins, Colorado, more than 5 million seeds now lie frozen in time—destined to wait for up to 50 years until evolutionary scientists earn permission to experiment ...

Thanks to an experiment started before the Great Depression, researchers have pinpointed the genes behind the remarkable adaptability of barley, a key ingredient in beer and whiskey. These insights ...
