Grown widely for feeding #livestock, Urochloa grasses are key to #sustainable cattle farming. @vhtechio examined the #DNA "repeats" that make up over half of their genomes—offering insights into their evolution and breeding potential

Embrapa consegue clonar uma araucária gigante de cerca de 700 anos que caiu no Paraná! A clonagem foi um desafio devido à idade avançada da árvore. Os clones foram plantados em Cruz Machado, na propriedade onde a árvore tombou.

#YerbaMate makes the third most popular caffeinated drink in the world, but it’s unrelated to tea and coffee. The first reconstruction of its genome is helping us understand how multiple species have evolved to synthesise caffeine.

Our Repli-Histo labeling marks nucleosomes in euchromatin and heterochromatin in live cells. We reveal genome chromatin is essentially replicated from regions with greater nucleosome motions. 1/2

Apples are a human invention.
Human selection has reshaped crop genomes.
Apples are very different today than 4,000 years ago.
Among the traits selected for by farmers and scientists are size, fruit acidity, color, firmness, and soluble sugar.
Throughout history, humans have played a significant role in the development of the apple as we know it today.
Early humans in Central Asia noticed variations in wild apples and selectively bred those with desirable traits, such as taste and size.
Over thousands of years, humans cultivated and propagated these selected varieties, gradually transforming wild apples into domesticated ones.
Through intentional breeding, humans enhanced traits like sweetness, size, color, disease resistance, and shelf life.
When life gives you Apples:-
↳ Thank scientists and farmers.
