Researchers explored if genetic variety within plant cell energy structures (mitochondria) predicts sterility useful for ...

A key outstanding issue in adaptive evolution is the relationship between the genetics of intraspecific polymorphism and interspecific evolution. Here, we show that the pale/dark ventral plumage ...

An interesting new study published on the preprint server medRxiv* discusses the role of a mucin gene enhancer on the clinical phenotype of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), possibly by ...

Heterostyly, a floral polymorphism where a species produces two or three distinct flower types with reciprocal arrangements ...

UC Davis graduate student Jeffrey Groh has discovered how walnut trees are able to produce flowers of different sexes at different times in the same season. The genetic mechanism is similar to sex ...

An international research team led by the Leibniz Institute of Plant Genetics and Crop Plant Research (IPK) has discovered a ...

Researchers uncovered 53 genetic loci linked to quantitative ability, distinguishing it from general intelligence and ...

A team of researchers at NYU Abu Dhabi (NYUAD) has uncovered how a common color variation in frogs has helped them thrive and ...

The genetics behind the alternating sexes of walnut trees has been revealed by biologists at the University of California, Davis. The research, published Jan. 3 in Science, reveals a mechanism that ...

Biologists have revealed genetics behind the alternating sexes of walnut trees. The research reveals a mechanism that has been stable in walnuts and their ancestors going back 40 million years -- and ...
