THE PUZZLE OF ITALIAN RICE ORIGIN AND EVOLUTION: DETERMINING GENETIC DIVERGENCE AND AFFINITY OF RICE GERMPLASM FROM ITALY AND ASIA.

The puzzle of Italian rice origin and evolution: determining genetic divergence and affinity of rice germplasm from Italy and Asia.

The characterization of genetic divergence and relationships of a set of germplasm is essential for its efficient applications in crop breeding and understanding of the origin/evolution of crop varieties from a given geographical region.As the largest rice producing country in Europe, Italy holds rice germplasm with abundant genetic diversity.Altho

Resonance Fluorescence from an Artificial Atom in Squeezed Vacuum

We present an experimental realization of resonance fluorescence in squeezed vacuum.We strongly couple microwave-frequency squeezed light to a superconducting Womens Boardshorts artificial atom and detect the resulting fluorescence with high resolution enabled by a broadband traveling-wave parametric amplifier.We investigate the fluorescence spectr
