Recent evolution of flowering time across multiple European plant species correlates with changes in aridity

The paper uses historical seeds and greenhouse experiments to show that flowering time shifts in European plants correlate with changes in aridity over decades.

A new protocol for speed vernalisation of winter cereals

This paper introduces a new vernalisation protocol that significantly reduces generation time for winter cereals by combining extended photoperiod and low-temperature exposure with speed breeding conditions.

African Swine Fever Virus and host response - transcriptome profiling of the Georgia 2007/1 strain and porcine macrophages

This study uses CAGE-seq to analyze the transcriptome of ASFV Georgia 2007/1 in porcine macrophages, identifying virulent-specific transcripts and host gene regulation changes during infection.

Role of African swine fever virus (ASFV) proteins EP153R and EP402R in reducing viral persistence and virulence from attenuated BeninΔDP148R

This study investigates the role of ASFV proteins EP153R and EP402R in viral persistence and virulence by deleting them from an attenuated virus, showing that EP402R deletion reduces persistence while EP153R deletion alone has limited effect.
