HYBRID WILDEBEEST (ARTIODACTYLA: BOVIDAE) PROVIDE FURTHER EVIDENCE FOR SHARED SIGNATURES OF ADMIXTURE IN MAMMALIAN CRANIA

Hybrid wildebeest (Artiodactyla: Bovidae) provide further evidence for shared signatures of admixture in mammalian crania

The genus Connochaetes, Lichtenstein, 1814, contains two extant species, the blue wildebeest (C.taurinus, Burchell, 1823) and the black wildebeest (C.gnou, Zimmermann, 1780).In recent years, forced sympatry in confined areas within South Africa has led to interbreeding between these taxa and to fertile hybrid Bracelets offspring.Here we report on a

Development and Application of SNP-KASP Markers Based on Genes Related to Nitrogen Uptake, Assimilation and Allocation in Tea Plant (Camellia sinensis L.)

Nitrogen is essential for the growth and quality formation of tea plants.Excessive and inefficient use of nitrogen fertilizer leads to cost increases and ecosystem pollution.It is important to improve the nitrogen use efficiency (NUE) for tea plantation.Breeding high-NUE varieties by marker-assisted selection using NUE-associated genes is a viable
