Comment: Several of the cases involved pregnant women, the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) warned on Tuesday. A new alert from the CDC was released to serve as a "strong reminder" to the public the Zika virus can be be transmitted sexually and might "a more likely means of transmission for Zika virus than previously considered", the CDC said.

Identifying traits early in development could predict future biomass production in Miscanthus
2016-02-27 07:02:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
ScienceDaily: New genetic tools have identified links between early establishment traits and biomass yield in Miscanthus. This marker-assisted selection technique could save years of waiting for Miscanthus plants to establish and become mature. The technique can be used to reliably select higher-yielding plants earlier in the Miscanthus life cycle. The U.S. government has mandated a rise in domestic ethanol production from cellulosic bioenergy crops, spurring research to identify and improve high-yielding biomass...
