Keymessage Standardized microhaplotype databases for eight diverse crops enable multiallelic analyses, comparative genetics, and breeding decisions. Abstract Microhaplotypes are short genomic segments that contain multiple tightly linked variants, providing multi-allelic data that can enhance genetic resolution compared to traditional biallelic single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) markers. Here, we present the creation and uti...

The growing demand for food and the environmental concerns raised by excessive chemical fertilizer use have increased interest in sustainable soil fertility management practices. Biofertilizers (BFs) contain beneficial microorganisms that improve nutrient cycling and support plant growth. Biochar (BC), a carbon (C) rich material produced from biomass pyrolysis, improves soil structure, nutrient retention, and soil health. Alth...

The Kulanaokuaiki Tephra Unit 3 (900 C.E.) was a subplinian basaltic scoria eruption, the largest known to have occurred at Kīlauea’s summit. The initiation mechanism and cause(s) of this highly hazardous eruption remain poorly understood, particularly as this style of activity has not been observed in the modern period. We use olivine diffusion timescales from Fe-Mg and lithium zoning to assess magma storage timescales and ev...
