This study identifies shared mutations in the DAM1 gene among three low-chill apple varieties, suggesting they are closely related despite different origins.

A synthetic peptide from random DNA sequence expression inhibits specific red-light responses in Arabidopsis seedlings without affecting other red-light mediated processes.

This study identifies and characterizes R-genes in octoploid strawberry and related species, revealing insights into disease resistance genetics and introducing new resources for research.
