🌸 Japanese researchers decoded the cyclamen genome: 1.48 billion base pairs, 83% of them repeats.
Shop cyclamen once had almost no scent. Breeding it back took Saitama 21 years. Next goal: finding the scent genes.

🌱 From UC Davis: A mutation that keeps bean pods from splitting open helped enable domestication in Mexico, revealing genetic clues for breeding improved crops. (Burcu Celebioglu, Travis Parker, Paul Gepts)
🌱 From Molecular Plant: Mutations in PvMYB26 reduced pod shattering in common beans, tracing their domestication to west-central Mexico and possibly a third origin in Peru. (Burcu Celebioglu, Xingyao Yu, Xiaosa Xu, Paul Gepts, Travis A. Parker)
Congratulations Anna, Alice and co! 🙂
