    A defining component of agroforestry parklands across Sahelo-Sudanian Africa (SSA), the shea tree (Vitellaria paradoxa) is central to sustaining local livelihoods and the farming environments of rural communities. Despite ...
  • Improved chromosome-level genome assembly and annotation of the seagrass, Zostera marina (eelgrass) 
    Ma, Xiao; Olsen, Jeanine L.; Reusch, Thorsten B.H.; Procaccini, Gabriele; Kudrna, Dave; Williams, Melissa; Grimwood, Jane; Rajasekar, Shanmugam; Jenkins, Jerry; Schmutz, Jeremy; Van de Peer, Yves (F1000Research, 2021-09-19)
    BACKGROUND : Seagrasses (Alismatales) are the only fully marine angiosperms. Zostera marina (eelgrass) plays a crucial role in the functioning of coastal marine ecosystems and global carbon sequestration. It is the most ...
