Status and Role of Antioxidant Enzymes in Sexual and Apomictic Species of \u3cem\u3eBoechera\u3c/em\u3e [PDF]
Enzymatic and non-enzymatic antioxidation systems provide protection against the toxic effects of activated oxygen species including scavenging H2O2. It is evident that during stress plants produce different ROS which play a negative role in regulating ...

Differential local adaptation restricts gene flow between populations inhabiting distinct environments, resulting in isolation by adaptation. In addition to the statistical inferences of genotype-environment associations, an integrative approach is needed to investigate the effect of local adaptation on population divergence at the ecological, genetic ...

Circadian clocks manifest adaptations to predictable 24-h fluctuations in the exogenous environment, but it has yet to be determined why the endogenous circadian period length in the wild varies genetically around the hypothesized optimum of 24 h. We quantified genetic variation in circadian period in leaf movement in 30 natural populations of the ...

Influences of plant maternal effects, chemotype, and environment on the leaf bacterial community
Plant maternal effects and growth environment, rather than terpenoid chemotype, determine the leaf microbial community of Tanacetum vulgare, but specific terpenoids are correlated with the abundance of certain bacteria. Abstract Plant individuals within a species can differ markedly in their leaf chemical composition, forming so‐called chemotypes ...

Pharmacologically Induced Meiosis Apomeiosis Interconversions in \u3ci\u3eBoechera\u3c/i\u3e, \u3ci\u3eArabidopsis\u3c/i\u3e and \u3ci\u3eVigna\u3c/i\u3e [PDF]
Apomixis is a clonal propagation method that produces offspring identical to the mother plant. With this feature, superior traits could be maintained over generations. However, our knowledge about apomixis is limited.

Strong ecological gradients along heterogeneous environments play an important role in shaping population differentiation across species ranges. We investigated the spatial variability of biological responses in the intertidal bivalve Mytilus californianus to highlight the costs and trade‐offs of local adaptation and phenotypic plasticity across ...

In silico identification of conserved microRNAs in large number of diverse plant species [PDF]
Background MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are recently discovered small non-coding RNAs that play pivotal roles in gene expression, specifically at the post-transcriptional level in plants and animals.

Costs of reproduction in flowering plants
Summary Costs of reproduction arise when investments into current reproduction reduce future reproductive fitness. Studies on reproductive costs use diverse approaches, including the analysis of gene expression, physiology, trade‐offs between reproduction and growth/survival, and the impact of reproductive investments on population growth.

The Roles of Epigenetics in the Interplay Between Beneficial Rhizobacteria and Plants
The activity of PGPR in soil enhances the availability of nutrients and hormones secreted by these PGPRs, while nutrients acquired from PGPR‐enriched soil induce epigenetic modifications in plants. These altered epigenetic marks subsequently regulate plant gene expression patterns, including those involved in metabolite synthesis (such as root exudates)

Chromosomal Evolution and Apomixis in the Cruciferous Tribe Boechereae [PDF]
The mustard family (Brassicaceae) comprises several dozen monophyletic clades usually ranked as tribes. The tribe Boechereae plays a prominent role in plant research due to the incidence of apomixis and its close relationship to Arabidopsis.
