Understanding the genetic basis of nutrient accumulation in wheat is crucial for improving its nutritional content and addressing global food security challenges. Here, we identified stable pleiotropic loci controlling the accumulation of 13 nutritional elements in wheat across diverse environments using a large wheat population of 1470 individuals. Our analysis revealed significant variability in SNP-based heritability values...

Aim If we are able to determine the geographic origin of an invasion, as well as its known area of introduction, we can better appreciate the innate environmental tolerance of a species and the strength of selection for adaptation that colonizing populations have undergone. It also enables us to maximize the success of searches for effective biological control agents. We determined the number of successful colonization events...

Neurodegenerative disease encompasses a wide range of disorders afflicting the central and peripheral nervous systems and is a major unmet biomedical need of our time. There are very limited treatments, and no cures, for most of these diseases, including Alzheimer’s Disease, Parkinson's Disease, Huntington Disease, and Motor Neuron Diseases. Mouse and other animal models provide hope by analysing them to understand pathogenic...
