Testing macroevolutionary predictions of the Grant‐Stebbins model in the origin of Aeschynanthus acuminatus

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Summary The Grant‐Stebbins model predicts that a plant species encountering different pollinators across its range may undergo local adaptation and, subsequently, ecological speciation. We tested whether this could explain the origin of Aeschynanthus acuminatus (Gesneriaceae), a species phylogenetically derived from sunbird specialist ancestors.

Overexpression of a Tonoplast Malate Transporter Gene Leads to Enhanced Anthocyanin Biosynthesis in Apple

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Anthocyanins, a group of secondary metabolites synthesised in the phenylpropanoid pathway, largely determine the peel colour of fleshy fruits, but it is not known if their synthesis is linked to vacuolar malate accumulation that underlies fruit acidity.

Genetic Basis of UV Bullseye Size Variations in Turnip Rape (Brassica rapa subsp. oleifera)

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Floral ultraviolet (UV) patterns are visible to bee pollinators and can affect crop yields by impacting pollinator visitation. However, the mechanisms underlying the intraspecific variations of UV bullseye size remain largely unknown. We analyse the ecological consequences and genetic basis of floral UV bullseye size variation in an important ...

Assessment of Pollen Production, Pollen Viability, Autofertility and Paternal Success in Faba Bean (Vicia faba L.) for Better Exploitation of Grain Yield Heterosis

Plant Breeding, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In animal‐pollinated plants, pollen dispersal depends on several plant and animal characteristics that can influence the paternal success of a plant. Paternal success affects the genetic contribution of a genotype to the next generation, which is relevant to plant breeding.
