Pineapple ( Ananas comosus (L.) Merr.) is one of the most important tropical fruits worldwide. It is primarily propagated clonally and exhibits high heterozygosity which can mask deleterious mutations, potentially leading to inbreeding depression and hindering breeding efforts. To address this, we conducted a comprehensive genome-wide analysis of 91 pineapple accessions and identified over 7.9 million high-quality SNPs. We uti...

Indonesia is one of the countries with highest forest loss rates in the world. Protected areas (PAs) can have a key role in counteracting deforestation, especially if they are combined with the active involvement of local communities, rather than be only based on strict nature conservation. The study aims at assessing and measuring forest transformations in 1950–2017 through GIS-based spatial analyses, and to evaluate the role...
