The uptake of Cd by crops from soils is predominantly determined by the concentration and speciation of Cd in soil solution, which is controlled by soil physicochemical properties such as soil pH, soil minerals and organic matter, etc. Water management significantly affects soil pH, and especially soil pH is driven to be neutral under continuous…[Read more]

We also detected significant molecular footprints of a recent (about 9.04 MYA), medium (about 43.44 MYA) and an ancient (about 116.39 MYA) WGD events that occurred in the evolutionary history of three blueberry species. Conclusion Some important functional genes revealed positive selection effect in blueberry. At least three rounds of WGD events…[Read more]
