In the heat of summer in the Rogue Valley, yellow starthistle (Centaurea solstitialis) raises heads of brilliant yellow flowers rigidly defended by sharp spines. Although bees reap double benefits of nectar and pollen during a season when most native plants no longer are flowering, this nonnative weed is a threat...
Certain insect baculoviruses are occluded in a proteinaceous,
crystalline structure which serves to protect the virus outside its
insect host. Two groups of occluded viruses have been defined: the
nuclear polyhedrosis viruses (NPVs) (Baculovirus Subgroup A), having
many virions occluded per crystal, and the granulosis viruses (GVs)
(Baculovirus Subgroup B),...

The effects of selection on genome variation were investigated and visualized in tomato using a high-density single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) array. 7,720 SNPs were genotyped on a collection of 426 tomato accessions (410 inbreds and 16 hybrids) and over 97% of the markers were polymorphic in the entire collection. Principal...
