Palms (Arecaceae) are an important group of plants widely distributed throughout the world. The Arecaceae family comprises a great diversity of species, however, many of them are threatened with extinction due to their unbridled exploitation in search of economically important resources. An overview of palms biology will be presented, with emphasis...

Heterosis, or hybrid vigor, refers to the phenomenon where hybrid progenies outperform their parents in traits such as yield and resistance. This phenomenon has been widely applied in plant breeding. Recent advances in high-throughput genomics have significantly advanced our understanding of heterosis. This review systematically summarizes the gene...

Unicellular, nitrogen-fixing cyanobacteria (UCYN) thrive and support primary production in oligotrophic oceans, playing a significant role in the marine nitrogen cycle. Crocosphaera sp, a model for studying marine nitrogen fixation, is adapted to low phosphate (P i ) conditions. Yet, how Crocosphaera copes with P i depletion is rather poorly unders...

Optimal stomatal regulation is important for plant adaptation to changing environmental conditions and for maintaining crop yield. The guard cell signal γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) is produced from glutamate by glutamate decarboxylase (GAD) during a reaction that generates CO2 as a by-product. Here, we investigated a putative connection between GABA...

The COVID-19 pandemic demonstrated the strength of massive sequencing or next generation sequencing (NGS) techniques in viral genomic characterization. Millions of complete SARS-CoV-2 genomes were sequenced in almost real time. Laboratories around the world dedicated to the molecular diagnosis of infectious diseases were equipped with cutting-edge ...

Lakes and other aquatic ecosystems can harbor harmful bacteria that can make people sick and resist antibiotics, posing a significant global health risk. In this study, we investigated Aeromonas veronii, a Gram-negative bacteria found in Lake Wilcox in Ontario. We used various techniques, including whole-genome sequencing (WGS), to analyze the bact...

Fire blight is a highly destructive plant disease that affects the pome fruit value chain, with high economic impacts. Its etiological agent is the Gram-negative bacterium Erwinia amylovora. The origin of fire blight goes back to the late 1700s in North America, and the disease since then has spread to New Zealand, Europe, North Africa, the Middle ...
