Genetic variability

  1. Rapid evolution predicted recovery after drought
    Wild plant populations evolve rapidly during drought, and genetic variation at adaptive loci predicts demographic recovery. Study demonstrates evolutionary rescue in natural conditions.
  2. Human and bacterial genetics shape oral microbiome variation
    Study of 12,519 individuals reveals how human genetic variants control oral microbiome composition and link to tooth decay risk through salivary enzyme abundance.
  3. Advanced barley lines showed greater stability than local landraces
    Evaluation of grain quality traits and genotype stability across Mediterranean environments in advanced barley lines and landraces. High heritability and trait correlations identified.
