Pathway for genetic improvement of Australian beef and sheep by using sustainability indexes to address greenhouse-gas emissions: workshop report

The Australian beef and sheep industries can play a small but important role in helping achieve global emissions targets. Genetic selection of cattle and sheep that emit less methane is an opportunity to make permanent and cumulative change and breeders are demonstrating growing...

Single-molecule long-read sequencing reveals transcriptome complexity and enhances annotation in wild rice

Wild rice species harbour extensive but largely uncharacterised transcriptional diversity that underpins key agronomic traits and represents a valuable resource for crop improvement. Here we integrate single-molecule long-read sequencing (Iso-Seq) with short-read RNA-seq to resol...

The influence of host phenology on infection and severity of rachis tip dieback caused by flower blight pathogens in macadamia

Abstract Rachis tip dieback (RTD) is an emerging disease affecting macadamia racemes and is associated with the flower blight complex. However, the timing and site of RTD infections and the effects of these infections on flower development remain poorly understood. Trials were co...
