DOI: 10.1007/s10681-017-1870-z
Abstract: A dendrogram is often used to display the results from hierarchical clustering; however, the order of objects in a standard dendrogram is arbitrary and so similarity cannot be readily interpreted. An optimized dendrogram, a dendrogram… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.nbt.2019.02.003
Abstract: The comparatively low adoption rate of GMO products in the European Union (EU) market seems to be connected with the strictness of authorization regulations and inefficiency of the authorization process itself. These problems will apply… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.pbi.2018.04.013
Abstract: The rate of crop improvement must increase to meet rising global demand for food. Crop breeding pipelines can be hampered by the imprecision and multi-generational timeframe of methods such as intercrossing and stochastic mutagenesis used… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.tplants.2017.05.009
Abstract: Plant breeding has traditionally improved traits encoded in the plant genome. Here we propose an alternative framework reaching novel phenotypes by modifying together genomic information and plant-associated microbiota. This concept is made possible by a… read more here.
