Plants undergo developmental changes throughout their life history. Senescence, the final
stage in the life history of a leaf, is an important and unique developmental process whereby …

With the availability of DNA-based molecular markers during early 1980s and that of
sophisticated statistical tools in late 1980s and later, it became possible to identify genomic …

Species often include multiple ecotypes that are adapted to different environments.
However, it is unclear how ecotypes arise and how their distinctive combinations of adaptive …

Key message Safeguarding crop yields in a changing climate requires bioinformatics
