The apple industry faces the challenge of genetic uniformity, with a few dominant cultivars narrowing the genetic base. This reduction in diversity, exacerbated by the unpredictable impacts of climate ...

This suggests that genetic variation can influence caste morphology in two ways—by affecting how large ants grow and by modifying the size at which queen-like traits are expressed. "An interesting ...

New genomic insights from researchers unveil critical genes influencing apple fruit size and shape. Through a comprehensive genome-wide association study, the study identifies several genetic markers ...
