Blog, WWR Full PostDurum wheat genome highlights past domestication signatures and future improvement targets
Durum wheat cultivar Svevo (Triticum turgidum L. ssp. durum) is a cereal crop predominantly grown for pasta production. It is the result of multiple rounds of domestication, originally deriving from wild emmer…

A Role for Autophagy in Plant Lipid Homeostasis
Research, The Plant Cell, The Plant Cell: In BriefAutophagy is the conserved eukaryotic mechanism by which cytoplasmic components such as macromolecular complexes, organelles, and cytosol are degraded in the lysosome or vacuole (Reggiori and Klionsky, 2013). Basal autophagy ensures that obsolete organelles and misfolded proteins are removed from the…
