GENETIC AND TRANSCRIPTOMIC DISSECTION OF THE FIBER LENGTH TRAIT FROM A COTTON (GOSSYPIUM HIRSUTUM L.) MAGIC POPULATION

Genetic and transcriptomic dissection of the fiber length trait from a cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) MAGIC population

Abstract Background Improving cotton fiber length without reducing yield is one of the major goals of cotton breeding.However, genetic improvement of cotton fiber length by breeding has been a challenge due to the narrow genetic diversity of modern cotton cultivars and negative correlations between fiber quality and yield traits.A multi-parent adva

Copper and zinc content in wild game shot with lead or non-lead ammunition - implications for consumer health protection.

The aim of this study was to examine the contamination of game meat with copper and zinc and establish whether the use of alternative (non-lead) ammunition can lead to higher or unsafe levels of copper and Coffee Mug zinc in the meat of roe deer, wild boar and red deer.The research project "Safety of game meat obtained through hunting" (LEMISI) was
