PHYLOGENY OF AMAZONA BARBADENSIS AND THE YELLOW-HEADED AMAZON COMPLEX (AVES: PSITTACIDAE): A NEW LOOK AT SOUTH AMERICAN PARROT EVOLUTION.

Phylogeny of Amazona barbadensis and the Yellow-headed Amazon complex (Aves: Psittacidae): a new look at South American parrot evolution.

The Yellow-shouldered Amazon (Amazona barbadensis) is the sole parrot of the genus Amazona that inhabits only dry forests.Its population has been dropping; therefore it has been the topic of many studies and conservation efforts.However, the phylogenetic relationship of this species to potential relatives classified within the Yellow-Headed Amazon

Genetic dissection of the soybean dwarf mutant dm with integrated genomic, transcriptomic and methylomic analyses

Plant height affects crop production and breeding practices, while genetic control of dwarfism draws a broad interest of researchers.Dwarfism in soybean (Glycine max) is mainly unexplored.Here, we characterized a dwarf mutant dm screened from ethyl methanesulfonate (EMS) mutated seeds of the soybean cultivar Zhongpin 661(ZP).Phenotypically, dm show
