A new perspective highlights why plant traits should be built into photosynthetic efficiency models to improve estimates of global vegetation productivity. Instead of relying mainly on climate ...
A new study published in Genome Research presents an interpretable artificial intelligence framework that improves both the accuracy and transparency of genomic prediction, a key challenge in fields ...
AMES, Iowa – The newly assembled genomes of 26 different genetic lines of corn illustrate the crop’s rich genetic diversity and could pave the way for a better understanding of what genetic mechanisms ...
Plants rely on seed dispersal to track favorable habitats and escape unsuitable conditions in variable environments. One likely driver of phenotypic dispersal trait plasticity is the prevalence and ...
In an article published in the Oct. 15 issue of Science, ecology and evolutionary biology professor Leonid Kruglyak ’87 and his collaborators — Sonja Skrovanek, a former researcher at the University’s ...
