Genetic alterations during ageing of rice seeds were analyzed using SSR markers. In the first experiment, seeds of 10 accessions of rice were subjected to artificial ageing in chambers conditioned to ...

We present a study of fine-scale spatial genetic structure (SGS) and assess the impact of seed and pollen dispersal on the pattern of genetic diversity in the predominantly selfing Hordeum spontaneum.

Seed plants are essential as a source of food, fuel, medicine, and more. Now, a multidisciplinary team of researchers has ...

The extent of genetic variation obtained naturally is useful in self-pollinated crops like lentil, though the variation is very low in frequency. A single plant was isolated from a commercial ...

Seedling recruitment allows genetic recombination and production of dispersal units. Both the climate experienced by the source populations (seed source effect) and the weather experienced by the ...

RENO, Nev. - Restoration of rangelands in the Great Basin is taking a new direction as scientists seek to find the ideal seed stock to use for the many different ecosystems across the 70 million acre ...

The genetic 'wiring' that helps a seed to decide on the perfect time to germinate has been revealed by scientists for the first time. Plant biologists have also discovered that the same mechanism that ...

Florida [US], July 9 (ANI): The Axiom Mission 4 crew members conducted a wide range of research activities aimed at advancing scientific studies, testing new technologies, and continuing global ...

In 1879, botanist William J. Beal filled 20 bottles with soil and seeds and buried them on what is now Michigan State University’s campus grounds. In April 2021, the 16th bottle was unearthed, and its ...
