Development of a Next-Generation NIL Library in Arabidopsis Thaliana for Dissecting Complex Traits [PDF]
The identification of the loci and specific alleles underlying variation in quantitative traits is an important goal for evolutionary biologists and breeders.

Recombination suppression in plant adaptation and speciation
Summary Recombination suppression is increasingly recognized as an important facilitator of genomic divergence and speciation, especially under ongoing gene flow. In plants, however, the broader evolutionary consequences and the mechanisms by which recombination suppression arises and spreads are still incompletely understood, reflecting the inherent ...

Chemical and mechanical defences of a metal‐hyperaccumulating plant species Arabidopsis halleri were more influenced by plant accession (genetic background) and insect herbivory by a leaf beetle Phaedon cochleariae than by supplementation of the metalloid silicon.

Temperature and the evolution of flower color: A review
Abstract Flower colors brighten our natural world. How and why have they evolved? How might ongoing global warming alter their evolutionary trajectories? In this review, I examine the influence of ambient temperature on the evolution of flower color.

Asexual reproduction through seeds: the complex case of diplosporous apomixis [PDF]
Apomixis is considered a potentially revolutionary tool to generate high-quality food at a lower cost and shorter developmental time due to clonal seed production through apomeiosis and parthenogenesis.

Abstract All plant organs have the potential to harbor microbial communities and each organ may form unique niches for specialized microbial communities. There have been very few detailed investigations of microbiomes within a single plant organ along different developmental stages.

Identification and Characterization of the PEBP Family Genes in Moso Bamboo (Phyllostachys heterocycla). [PDF]
Moso bamboo is one of the economically most important plants in China. Moso bamboo is a monocarpic perennial that exhibits poor and slow germination. Thus, the flowering often causes destruction of moso bamboo forestry.

Reproductive Barriers and Genomic Hotspots of Adaptation During Allopatric Species Divergence
ABSTRACT Theory predicts that in allopatric populations, genomic divergence and reproductive barriers may be driven by random genetic drift and thereby evolve slowly in large populations. However, local adaptation and divergence under selection may also play important roles, which remain poorly characterised.

Results of survival analysis using a Cox proportional hazard model, examining longevity as a function of standardized silique length (in mm) and standardized number of failed siliques produced in 2014. ;Hazard ratios and 95% confidence intervals (CI) for the Cox proportional hazard regression of longevity to standardized silique length (in mm) and ...

Heritable genetic variation is necessary for populations to evolve in response to anthropogenic climate change. However, antagonistic genetic correlations among traits may constrain the rate of adaptation, even if substantial genetic variation exists.
