Abstract:When the CitEST project-'Integration of breeding, comparative and functional genomics of citrus' was submitted to CNPq as a "Millennium Institute" proposal, the group of researchers already had a perception of how challenging such a proposal could be. First, the integration of genomic data with genetics and breeding in a woody perennial species, such as citrus, was never considered an easy task. Second, the threats to productivity and competitiveness encountered by the citrus agroindustry in Brazil require urg… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
