Genetic Basis of Cuticular Hydrocarbon Variation in the Desert Ant <i>Cataglyphis niger</i>. [PDF]
Cuticular hydrocarbons (CHCs) are a ubiquitous component of ant cuticles that are used for a wide range of chemical signaling functions, especially recognition. Here we tested for a genetic basis of CHC variation in the desert ant Cataglyphis niger. We applied a genomic mapping approach to discover associations between CHCs and 20 quantitative trait ...

ABSTRACT Fruit shape is an important external quality trait that directly determines the market value. Modification of fruit shape has emerged as a key focus in crop improvement, but the regulatory network of fruit shape specifications remains largely unknown.

ABSTRACT Increasing dietary fibre (DF) intake is an important target to improve health. An attractive strategy for this is to increase DF in wheat which is derived principally from the endosperm cell wall polysaccharide arabinoxylan (AX). The water‐extractable form of this (WE‐AX) accounts for most soluble dietary fibre (SDF), which is believed to ...

ABSTRACT As global warming continues, rising temperatures significantly alter the interactions between wheat and the stripe rust pathogen Puccinia striiformis f. sp. tritici (Pst). Utilising high‐temperature all‐stage (HTAS) resistance to Pst is a novel strategy for breeding climate and disease resilient wheat cultivars.

ABSTRACT Agricultural sustainability faces serious challenges from population growth, climate change and ecological degradation. Genetic modification (GM) technology can be regarded as a precise extension of the Green Revolution, aiming to balance yield enhancement with ecological integrity through biotechnology. To systematically examine global trend,

ABSTRACT Sea Island cotton (Gossypium barbadense) produces premium‐quality fibres, yet the genetic basis underlying its fibre development remains elusive. Here, we identify two key non‐synonymous single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs, G/C and G/A) in the gene Gbar_D13G024080, which encodes the TRANSMEMBRANE PROTEIN 209 (TMEM209). These SNPs resulted in
