Le monde des revues scientifiques au bord de l’asphyxie Plus de 3 millions d’articles sont publiés chaque année dans les revues scientifiques, les chercheurs étant incités à les multiplier pour se distinguer. Une logique économique perverse s’est installée...

Merci David Larousserie du @lemonde.fr pour cet article sur la publication scientifique en asphyxie

Genomics and morphometry of herbarium specimens elucidate the origin of the Cape Verde date palm (Phoenix atlantica A.Chev.) and highlight its agronomic potential As climate change accelerates, breeding resilient crops is urgent. The date palm (Phoenix dactylifera L.), a crucial 18 billion USD fruit crop, underpins North African and West Asian oasis agroecosys...

🗞️📜Fresh from the press! Our new paper shows that the Cape Verde date palm actually evolved from the date palm crop🧬 with interesting implications for conservation and breeding of drought resistant varieties 🌴🏝️
