RETRACTED ARTICLE: Vacuolar protein sorting 35 (VPS35) acts as a tumor promoter via facilitating cell cycle progression in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma
Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is insidious and highly malignant with extremely poor prognosis and drug resistance to current chemotherapies. Therefore, there is a critical need to investigate the mol...

Resistance of QYm.nau-2D to wheat yellow mosaic virus was derived from an alien introgression into common wheat
The QYm.nau-2D locus conferring wheat yellow mosaic virus resistance is an exotic introgression and we developed 11 diagnostic markers tightly linked to QYm.nau-2D.
