Mapping the sensory perception of apple using descriptive sensory evaluation in a genome wide association study.

Breeding apples is a long-term endeavour and it is imperative that new cultivars are selected Beard Wash to have outstanding consumer appeal.This study has taken the approach of merging sensory science with genome wide association analyses in order to map the human perception of apple flavour and texture onto the apple genome.The goal was to identi

Differences in leaf flammability, leaf traits and flammability-trait relationships between native and exotic plant species of dry sclerophyll forest.

The flammability of plant leaves influences the spread of fire through vegetation.Exotic plants invading native vegetation may increase the spread of bushfires if their leaves are more flammable than native leaves.We compared fresh-leaf and dry-leaf flammability (time to ignition) between 52 native and 27 exotic plant species inhabiting dry sclerop
