Advanced Science, EarlyView.This study reveals that long non‐coding RNAs represent important regulatory components underlying pear domestication and improvement. Integrative multi‐omics analyses identify selected lncRNAs associated with fruit traits, while functional validation uncovers a lignin‐related lncRNA, lncRNA‐pys, that promotes lignin accumulation.

The longevity of cycad pollen in storage
South African Journal of Botany, 1992 An investigation was made into the effects of temperature, headspace atmosphere and humidity on the longevity of stored pollen from several Encephalartos species and from Cycas thouarsii. Samples were assayed by in vitro germination tests and by in vivo pollination trials.
