Further evidence that the Genebank standards for drying orthodox seeds may not be optimal for subsequent seed longevity by Whitehouse, Katherine J., Owoborode, O.F., Adebayo, O.O., Oyatomi, O.A., Olaniyan, A.B., Abberton, Michael T., Hay, F.R.

“…Maximizing seed longevity is important for genebanks to efficiently manage their accessions, reducing the frequency of costly regeneration cycles and the loss of genetic integrity. Research on rice seeds has shown that subsequent longevity in air-dry storage can be improved by drying seeds, which are metabolically active at harvest (moisture contents above a critical value close to 16.5%), for an initial period at a higher temperature (40°C–60°C) than that currently recommended by the current genebank standards (5°C–20°C). …”

Eigen decomposition expedites longitudinal genome-wide association studies for milk production traits in Chinese Holstein by Chao Ning, Dan Wang, Xianrui Zheng, Qin Zhang, Shengli Zhang, Mrode, Raphael A., Jian-Feng Liu

“…We performed a simulation study that showed that our method can control type I errors well and has higher power than a longitudinal GWAS method that does not include time-varied additive genetic effects. We also applied our method to the analysis of milk production traits in the first three parities of 6711 Chinese Holstein cows. …”

Wheat plant height locus RHT25 encodes a PLATZ transcription factor that interacts with DELLA (RHT1) by Zhang, Junli, LI, Chengxia, Zhang, Wenjun, Zhang, Xiaoqin, Mo, Youngjun, Tranquilli, Gabriela, Vanzetti, Leonardo Sebastian, Dubcovsky, Jorge
