MINI SEED 2 (MIS2) Encodes a Receptor-like Kinase that Controls Grain Size and Shape in Rice [PDF]
Rice, 2020 Background Grain size is a key agronomic trait that is directly associated with grain yield in rice. Although several genes related to grain size in rice have been identified, our understanding of the mechanism of grain development is still limited ...

Genomic Diversity of Aurochs From a Mediterranean Ice-Age Refugium. [PDF]
Mol EcolABSTRACT The aurochs, the wild ancestor of domestic cattle, was a keystone herbivore in Late Pleistocene Eurasian ecosystems and a major prey species for Palaeolithic hunter‐gatherers. Despite its significance, the genetic structure of aurochs populations that survived the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) remains poorly understood, especially in southeastern

Millennial paleoclimate variations on the Central Tibetan Plateau during MIS4-MIS2 inferred from a sediment core based RPI chronology [PDF]
Scientific ReportsLakes on the Tibetan Plateau, highly sensitive to environmental changes, play a key role in paleoclimatic studies. However, dating limitations often constrain investigations to periods before the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM).
