A basic ddRADseq two‐enzyme protocol performs well with herbarium and silica‐dried tissues across four genera [PDF]
Applications in Plant Sciences, 2020 Premise The ability to sequence genome‐scale data from herbarium specimens would allow for the economical development of data sets with broad taxonomic and geographic sampling that would otherwise not be possible. Here, we evaluate the utility of a basic

Are genetic variation and demographic performance linked? [PDF]
Evolutionary Applications, 2022 Quantifying relationships between genetic variation and population viability is important from both basic biological and applied conservation perspectives, yet few populations have been monitored with both long‐term demographic and population genetics ...

Admixture, evolution, and variation in reproductive isolation in the Boechera puberula clade [PDF]
BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2018 Background Hybridization is very common in plants, and the incorporation of new alleles into existing lineages (i.e. admixture) can blur species boundaries. However, admixture also has the potential to increase standing genetic variation.

Rhizosphere microbial community composition shifts diurnally and in response to natural variation in host clock phenotype [PDF]
mSystems, 2023 Plant-associated microbial assemblages are known to shift at time scales aligned with plant phenology, as influenced by the changes in plant-derived nutrient concentrations and abiotic conditions observed over a growing season. But these same factors can

Rhizosphere microbiomes of field-grown B. stricta exhibit minimal diel changes in microbial membership and protein synthesis potential [PDF]
Frontiers in MicrobiologyThe rhizosphere microbiome has a significant impact on plant health and fitness. Quantifying bacterial responses to fine-scale plant-mediated changes in the rhizosphere, such as those associated with diel cycling in host plant physiology, will increase ...

Deciphering the sexual diploid members of the Boechera suffrutescens complex (Brassicaceae, Boechereae) [PDF]
PhytoKeys, 2018 Boechera is a model genus that is of particular interest for understanding apomixis due to the presence of numerous apomictic diploid lineages that are tightly correlated with hybridisation events. Boechera includes many narrowly distributed endemics and

Genome structure and molecular phylogeny of the only Eurasian Boechera species, Boechera falcata (Brassicaceae). [PDF]
G3 (Bethesda)Abstract Boechera falcata (Turcz.) Al-Shehbaz, previously known as Arabis turczaninowii Ledeb., is a herbaceous perennial of the East Siberian, boreal-steppe ecotype. It is the sole species of the diverse genus Boechera found on the Eurasian continent, with all other species endemic to North America and Greenland.
