Leveraging ancestral recombination graphs for quantitative genetic analysis of rice yield in indica and japonica subspecies Rice (Oryza sativa L.) has two main subspecies, indica and japonica , which coexist in many regions but are often treated separately during breeding. Combining both subspecies in quantitative genetic ...

A Marchantia year – Urban liverworts in Edinburgh 2024 has been a great year for the common liverwort (Marchantia polymorpha) in Edinburgh. It is almost everywhere you look. I started collecting M. polymorpha in 2021. During the subsequent years, I r...

Is anybody seeing more Marchantia than usual this year? #bryophyte #plantblindness bryoevolgen.com/2024/09/07/a...
