A Rare Allele of ST5 From Wild Rice Enhances Salt Tolerance in Rice

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A novel salt‐tolerance gene ST5W, characterized by a unique 36‐bp promoter insertion, is found exclusively in a small subset of Oryza rufipogon and is absent in cultivated rice. Field trials confirm ST5W significantly enhances rice yield across diverse genetic backgrounds under saline conditions.

On the (limited) use of touchscreen-based behavioural and cognitive research with dogs: potential causes and future directions

Animal Cognition
Dogs (Canis familiaris) are an increasingly popular model in comparative cognition research. Traditional research paradigms often rely on heavy experimenter involvement, which can introduce biases and inconsistencies.

eQTL Meta‐Analysis Reveals Conserved and Population‐Specific Regulatory Variation Underlying Nutritional Trait Evolution and Domestication in Tomato

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A comprehensive meta‐analysis of expression quantitative trait loci (eQTLs) across five diverse tomato populations reveals a high‐resolution atlas of transcriptional regulation and uncovers conserved and population‐specific regulatory architectures underlying fruit nutritional quality traits, including flavonoids, sugars, organic acids, carotenoids ...

Differences in dogs’ and wolves’ human-directed greeting behaviour: facial expressions, body language, and the problem of human biases

Animal Cognition
Dogs and wolves communicate effectively with humans, yet differences in their human-directed facial expressions and the role of relationship strength in shaping these behaviours remain poorly understood.

Deference or sociability? Insights from dogs’ and wolves’ human-directed behavior in a food-conflict task

Frontiers in Psychology
Whether dogs’ pronounced human proximity-seeking is motivated by a selection for hypersociability or deferential behavior (i.e., will to please the human) remains contested. Since disentangling these motivations has been challenging in amicable contexts,

Unraveling Origin, History, Genetics, and Strategies for Accelerated Domestication and Diversification of Food Legumes

Frontiers in Genetics, 2022
Domestication is a dynamic and ongoing process of transforming wild species into cultivated species by selecting desirable agricultural plant features to meet human needs such as taste, yield, storage, and cultivation practices. Human plant domestication

The Rosa genome provides new insights into the domestication of modern roses

Nature Genetics, 2018
Roses have high cultural and economic importance as ornamental plants and in the perfume industry. We report the rose whole-genome sequencing and assembly and resequencing of major genotypes that contributed to rose domestication.

Tunable Negative Thermal Expansion in Fe/Cr‐Substituted Nd2Co17 Compounds via Magnetoelastic Coupling

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study achieves anisotropic thermal expansion tuning in Nd2(Co1‐xFex)17‐yCry compounds via a magnetoelastic strategy. Variable‐temperature synchrotron X‐ray diffraction reveals that increased Fe content induces switchable lattice responses. Compositional control reduces the volume expansion coefficient αV by 20% (x═0.7) and modulates TC (442–625 K),
