Infrageneric classification in Ribes has previously relied on a few, often conflicting, morphological markers, such as spines, glands, and inflorescence morphology. Suggestions that hybridization drives the evolution o ...

Organellar DNA sequences are widely used in evolutionary and population genetic studies, however, the conservative nature of chloroplast gene and genome evolution often limits phylogenetic resolution and statistical powe ...

Background: Since whole genome sequences of rice were made publically accessible, the number of articles on new rice genes has increased remarkably. The Committee on Gene Symbolization, Nomenclature and Linkage (CGSNL) o ...

The Oregon State University (OSU) Herbarium is an essential resource for biodiversity research in the Pacific Northwest. With over 400,000 specimens, it maintains the world's largest collection of Oregon plant and fungal ...

Molecular phylogenctic analyses indicate that the monophyletic classes Orbiliomycetes and Pezizomycetes are among the earliest diverging branches of Pezizomycotina, the largest subphylum of the Ascomycota. Although Orbil ...

In many databases, biocuration primarily involves literature curation, which usually involves retrieving relevant articles, extracting information that will translate into annotations and identifying new incoming literat ...
