The Contribution of Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) Emitted by Petals and Pollen to the Scent of Garden Roses

Flower scent is an important trait of ornamental roses and has been an important character in the selection processes.In the present study, the composition of the volatile organic compounds (VOCs) emitted by both petals and pollen of 21 garden roses (Chinensis, Climber, English rose, Floribunda, Hybrid Tea, Multiflora, Damascena, Musk rose, Polyant

Hs1Cas12a and Ev1Cas12a confer efficient genome editing in plants

Cas12a, also known as Cpf1, is a highly versatile CRISPR-Cas enzyme that has been widely used in genome editing.Unlike its well-known counterpart, Cas9, Cas12a has unique features that make it a highly efficient genome editing tool at AT-rich genomic regions.To enrich Sliding Wardrobes the CRISPR-Cas12a plant genome editing toolbox, we explored 17

Hidden in the dark under umbrellas: two new Psilolechia species (lichenized Ascomycota , Lecanorales ) described from the Czech Republic

Recent lichenological fieldwork in the Czech Republic resulted in the discovery TOOTHPASTE FENNEL of two previously unrecognized entities in the genus Psilolechia which are described below as new species: the saxicolous P.cretacea and the lignicolous P.torii.Both taxa regularly produce a hyphomycetous anamorph in the form of erect, elongate conidio
