GENOME-WIDE ASSOCIATION STUDY OF SOYBEAN (GLYCINE MAX [L.] MERR.) GERMPLASM FOR DISSECTING THE QUANTITATIVE TRAIT NUCLEOTIDES AND CANDIDATE GENES UNDERLYING YIELD-RELATED TRAITS

Soybean (Glycine max [L.] Merr.) is one of the most significant crops in the world in terms of oil and protein.Owing to the rising demand for soybean products, there is an increasing need for improved varieties for more productive farming.However, complex correlation patterns among quantitative traits along with genetic interactions pose a challeng

Abstract Bacterial lytic polysaccharide monooxygenases (LPMOs) are known to oxidize the Cab Body and Replacement Parts most abundant and recalcitrant polymers in Nature, namely cellulose and chitin.The genome of the model actinomycete Streptomyces coelicolor A3(2) encodes seven putative LPMOs, of which, upon phylogenetic analysis, four group with t

The role of mountain uplift in the evolution of the global climate over geological times is controversial.At the heart of this debate is the capacity of rapid denudation to drive silicate weathering, which consumes CO2.Here we present the results of a 3-D model that couples erosion and weathering during mountain uplift, in which, for the first time

Climate change and rising temperatures have been observed to be related to the increase of forest insect damage in the boreal zone.The common pine sawfly (Diprion pini L.) (Hymenoptera, Diprionidae) is regarded as a significant threat to boreal pine forests.Defoliation by D.pini can cause severe growth loss and tree mortality in Scots pine (Pinus s
