To increase food production under the challenges presented by global climate change, the
concept of de novo domestication—utilizing stress-tolerant wild species as new crops—has …

We examined the genetic population structure of a precious coral, the Japanese red coral
Corallium japonicum, in the Northwest Pacific. We used restriction-site-associated DNA …

This study was designed to perform an association analysis and identify SNP markers
associated with production traits of Japanese quail using restriction-site-associated DNA …

Allium macrostemon Bunge, commonly referred to as" no-biru" in Japan, is a widespread
wild onion species found across the country. Despite being deeply entwined in ancient …

Background Phylogeographical approaches explain the genetic diversity of local organisms
in the context of their geological and geographic environments. Thus, genetic diversity can …

Extinct lineages can leave legacies in the genomes of extant lineages through ancient
introgressive hybridization. The patterns of genomic survival of these extinct lineages …

Accurate identification of interspecific hybrids is vital for breeding programs in hybridizing
taxa, as well as for the use of hybrids in aquaculture and fisheries. The use of species …

As biodiversity loss continues, there is an urgent need to develop efficient conservation
measures to protect diversity with limited conservation resources. Conservation targets have …
