We report the annotation and analysis of the draft genome sequence of Brassica rapa accession
Chiifu-401-42, a Chinese cabbage. We modeled 41,174 protein coding genes in the B. …

Polyploidization has provided much genetic variation for plant adaptive evolution, but the
mechanisms by which the molecular evolution of polyploid genomes establishes genetic …

Transition-metal single-atom catalysts present extraordinary activity per metal atomic site, but
suffer from low metal-atom densities (typically less than 5 wt% or 1 at.%), which limits their …

Although both A- and B-site cations have the same simple cubic topology in the perovskite
structure they typically adopt different patterns of chemical order. As a general rule B-site …

Oilseed rape (Brassica napus L.) was formed ~7500 years ago by hybridization between B.
rapa and B. oleracea, followed by chromosome doubling, a process known as allopolyploidy…

A major component in the regulatory network controlling fruit ripening is likely to be the gene
at the tomato Colorless non-ripening (Cnr) locus 1 , 2 . The Cnr mutation results in colorless …

Electrochemically converting nitrate ions, a widely distributed nitrogen source in industrial
wastewater and polluted groundwater, into ammonia represents a sustainable route for both …

Background: The results of elbow dislocations with associated radial head and coronoid
fractures are often poor because of recurrent instability and stiffness from prolonged …

Microsatellites have emerged as an important system of molecular markers. We evaluated
the potential of microsatellites for use in genetic studies of peach [Prunus persica (L.) Batsch]. …

Background Brassica oleracea is a valuable vegetable species that has contributed to human
health and nutrition for hundreds of years and comprises multiple distinct cultivar groups …
