The epigenomic regulation of chromatin structure and genome stability is essential for the
interpretation of genetic information and ultimately the determination of phenotype. High-…

The behavior of transcriptomes and epigenomes in hybrids of heterotic parents is of fundamental
interest. Here, we report highly integrated maps of the epigenome, mRNA, and small …

Heterosis (or hybrid vigor) has been widely used in crop seed breeding to improve many
key economic traits. Nevertheless, the genetic and molecular basis of this important …

Maize (Zea mays) has an exceptionally complex genome with a rich history in both epigenetics
and evolution. We report genomic landscapes of representative epigenetic modifications …

Heterosis is a fundamental biological phenomenon characterized by the superior performance
of a hybrid over its parents in many traits, but the underlying molecular basis remains …

Seedling photomorphogenesis is a sophisticated developmental process that is controlled
by both the transcriptional and posttranscriptional regulation of gene expression. Here, we …

An increasing amount of investment has been devoted to protecting and restoring ecosystem
services worldwide. The efficiency of conservation investments, including payments for …

Ecotourism is widely promoted as a conservation tool and actively practiced in protected
areas worldwide. Theoretically, support for conservation from the various types of stakeholder …

Nature-based tourism has the potential to enhance global biodiversity conservation by
providing alternative livelihood strategies for local people, which may alleviate poverty in and …

Heterosis, one of the most important biological phenomena, refers to the phenotypic
superiority of a hybrid over its genetically diverse parents with respect to many traits such as …
