Background Microsatellite (simple sequence repeat – SSR) and single nucleotide polymorphism
(SNP) markers are two types of important genetic markers useful in genetic mapping …

Juices from fifteen citrus varieties (seven mandarins, four sweet oranges, one lemon, one
grapefruit, and two pummeloes) of China were investigated mainly on quality parameters, total …

Hesperidin, an abundant and inexpensive bioflavonoid in Penggan (Citrus reticulata) peel,
has been reported to possess a wide range of pharmacological properties. Ultrasonic …

Cassava is a major tropical food crop in the Euphorbiaceae family that has high carbohydrate
production potential and adaptability to diverse environments. Here we present the draft …

Background A genome-wide assessment of nucleotide diversity in a polyploid species must
minimize the inclusion of homoeologous sequences into diversity estimates and reliably …

Cowpea (Vigna unguiculata L. Walp.) is a legume crop that is resilient to hot and drought‐prone
climates, and a primary source of protein in sub‐Saharan Africa and other parts of the …

The current limitations in genome sequencing technology require the construction of physical
maps for high-quality draft sequences of large plant genomes, such as that of Aegilops …

In this study, we developed 359 detection primers for single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs)
previously discovered within intron sequences of wheat genes and used them to evaluate …

Transparent electrodes and metal contacts deposited by magnetron sputtering find
applications in numerous state-of-the-art optoelectronic devices, such as solar cells and light-emitting …

Cycles of whole-genome duplication ( WGD ) and diploidization are hallmarks of eukaryotic
genome evolution and speciation. Polyploid wheat (Triticum aestivum) has had a massive …
