A workflow for practical training in plant genomics using Oxford Nanopore long‐read sequencing
PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.Advances in DNA sequencing technologies are revolutionising all areas of plant genomic research. In response to the current deficit of educational resources in modern plant genomic methods, we have developed a comprehensive genomics training course for sequencing and analysing non‐model plant species.

Inheritance of yellow colour in safflower (Carthamus tinctorius L.)
Вавиловский журнал генетики и селекции, 2015 Safflower is a minor crop, and its genetics is poorly known. Four types of safflower corolla color are recognized: red, orange, yellow, and white. As the information on color inheritance is incomplete and contradictory, we aimed to study the inheritance ...

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.In response to Chile's public policy to establish a national biodiversity inventory and monitoring system, we launched the HerbarioDigital.cl portal. We have digitised over 120,000 specimens representing more than 3,900 species from two Chilean herbaria, integrating them through a curated local taxonomic index.

Sticky Exudates on the Inflorescences of \u3ci\u3eCirsium Discolor\u3c/i\u3e (Asteraceae) and \u3ci\u3ePenstemon Digitalis\u3c/i\u3e (Scrophulariaceae) as Possible Defense Against Seed Predators [PDF]
, 2018 From 1982 through 1987, I investigated whether sticky exudates released by Cirsium discolor and Penstemon digitalis in their inflorescences provide defense against seed predators. I tested two hypotheses: 1: Exudates directly deter seed predators, and 2:

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.Soils are globally degraded due in part to conventional agriculture and wildland conversion. To address the global challenge of soil degradation, we formed an interdisciplinary, cross‐institutional collaborative research team, New Roots for Restoration, to understand how perennial plant root and shoot traits relate to one another, and how they ...
