Tropical and Subtropical Fruit Propagation by Jeff Wasielewski, Carlos F. Balerdi

“…While sexual propagation (by seed) results in plants that are not genetically the same as the mother plant, asexual propagation (cuttings, division, air-layers, and grafting) creates offspring that are clones of the mother plant. Cloning fruit trees is important because it allows different cultivars to be preserved over time. …”

Prevalence and phylogenetic analysis of cytomegalovirus (Orthoherpesviridae: <i>Cytomegalovirus: Cytomegalovirus humanbeta5</i>) genetic variants from children and immunocompromise... by Ol’ga E. Van’kova, Nina F. Brusnigina, Nadezhda A. Novikova

“…The genetic diversity of CMV was assessed for two variable genes: UL55(gB) and UL73(gN), using NGS technology on the Illumina platform. Phylogenetic trees were constructed in the MEGA X program, the reliability of the cluster topology on the trees was confirmed using the rapid bootstrap method based on the generation of 500 pseudo-replicas. …”

La forêt comme clôture : l’enfermement de l’habitat par la forêt by Claire Labrue

“…Living in a forested area is immemorial, but the lack of acculturation of the forest by the society which is becoming more urban reinforces the forest’s confining effect: the forest’s borders are causing environmental problems such as blocking views and shadows caused by the trees, the impact of which is influencing the feelings of the inhabitants. …”
