Brassica biodiversity conservation: prevailing constraints and future avenues for sustainable distribution of plant genetic resources

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2023
The past decade has seen an observable loss of plant biodiversity which can be attributed to changing climate conditions, destroying ecosystems to create farmlands and continuous selective breeding for limited traits.

IITA’s genebank, cowpea diversity on farms, and farmers’ welfare in Nigeria

open access: yesCABI Agriculture and Bioscience, 2022
Background Cowpea or black-eyed pea (Vigna unguiculata L.) is one of the preferred food crops in Nigeria, as expressed in land area and production. The popularity of the crop is in part related to the successful development and adoption of improved ...

Deciphering the Genetic Diversity of Landraces With High-Throughput SNP Genotyping of DNA Bulks: Methodology and Application to the Maize 50k Array

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2021
Genebanks harbor original landraces carrying many original favorable alleles for mitigating biotic and abiotic stresses. Their genetic diversity remains, however, poorly characterized due to their large within genetic diversity.

The Impact of N.I. Vavilov on the Conservation and Use of Plant Genetic Resources in Scandinavia: A Review

open access: yesPlants, 2022
In this review we examine Nikolai Ivanovich Vavilov’s relationship to Scandinavia and the impact he and his ideas have had on Scandinavia. We trace the historical connections from Vavilov back to 18th century scientists, such as Carl Von Linneaus (Sweden)

STWave: Fine‐Scale Spatial Structure Discovery in Microscopic‐Resolution Spatial Transcriptomics via Patchwise Wavelet Graphs

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
STWave transforms massive microscopic‐resolution spatial transcriptomics into interpretable fine‐scale tissue maps through patch‐wise inference, wavelet‐based multi‐scale encoding, and dual‐domain reconstruction. It reduces noise while preserving weak spatial signals, enabling efficient analysis of 6 40 000 spots of 2.47 GB GPU memory and revealing ...

Unveiling the Genetic and Phenotypic Landscape of a Chinese Cohort With Retinitis Pigmentosa

open access: yesMolecular Genetics & Genomic Medicine
Introduction Retinitis pigmentosa (RP) is a type of inherited retinal degeneration (IRD) that typically leads to vision loss in individuals of working age. Currently, over 100 genes and loci, as well as over 1000 individual variants, have been identified

Single‐Nucleus RNA Sequencing Identifies CREM as a Brake on Myofiber Hypertrophy in Chickens

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Single‐nucleus RNA sequencing on 91 144 nuclei from postnatal chicken pectoralis major between fast‐growing broilers (FG) and slow‐growing layers (SG) identifies the transcriptional factor CREM as a novel brake of myofiber hypertrophy. Mechanistically, functional validation experiments confirm that CREM activates the promoter of JUN and CREM deletion ...

Genome-Wide Association Analysis and Genomic Prediction for Adult-Plant Resistance to Septoria Tritici Blotch and Powdery Mildew in Winter Wheat

open access: yesFrontiers in Genetics, 2021
Septoria tritici blotch (STB) caused by the fungal pathogen Zymoseptoria tritici and powdery mildew (PM) caused by Blumeria graminis f.sp tritici (Bgt) are among the forefront foliar diseases of wheat that lead to a significant loss of grain yield and ...

Optimization of the composition of crop collections for ex situ conservation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Many crop genetic resources collections have been established without a clearly defined conservation goal or mandate, which has resulted in collections of considerable size, unbalanced composition and high levels of duplication.
