The Pollination of the Primrose [PDF]

Nature, 1909
IN NATURE of May 20 the reviewer, in the course of his appreciative and interesting notice of my book, “Life-histories of Familiar Plants,” states:—“We notice that, without stating definitely what insect pollinates the primrose, the author refers to the bee or moth as doing it, in a misleading way. He would have been wiser to ask readers to notice what

Integrating Dense Genotyping with High‐Throughput Phenotyping Empowers the Genetic Dissection of Berry Quality and Resilience Traits in Grapevine

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Researchers develop advanced tools to study grapevine traits like berry quality and stress resilience. A 200K SNP array and high‐throughput phenotyping enable the identification of loci linked to berry shape, sugar content, acidity, and cold tolerance. Functional validation of genes such as NAC08 reveals roles in cold tolerance.

GbSER02 Interacts With GhVOZ1 to Promote Fiber Elongation by Modulating Gibberellin Synthesis in Cotton

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
GbSER02 with a single base change (SNP517G) encodes normal serpin protein and interacts with transcription factor VOZ1 to alleviate the repression of VOZ1 on GA3ox1 and promote GA3 biosynthesis. Further, GA3 induces the expression of cell wall loosening‐related genes and decreases flavonoid content, ultimately facilitating fiber cell elongation in ...
