    Genetic variation and evolutionary history of a mycorrhizal fungus regulate the currency of exchange in symbiosis with the food security crop cassava

    Patterns of R. irregularis transcriptome variation are congruent with patterns of R. irregularis genome variation Phylogenetically diverse R. irregularis isolates significantly differed in their ability to colonize cassava roots, with colonization ranging from 21.7% of the root length colonized by SAMP7 to 72.9% by DAOM197198-CZ (Fig. 1c, Data S1). Colonization was significantly associated with the phylogeny of […] More

    Non-market forces significantly affect oil prices

    Proxies for supply and demand accurately account for oil prices in 138 of 313 quarters from January 1938 to March 2018. In the other 184 quarters, reduced accuracy creates nine regimes when oil prices deviate from the level implied by supply and demand. Of these nine regimes, two are associated with policy interventions to suppress […] More
