MHC Diversity Across Time and Space
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 4, April 2025.The article discusses the importance of genetic diversity, particularly in the Major Histocompatibility Complex (MHC) loci, in maintaining evolution and protecting against infectious disease. We review the emerging research on geographic and temporal patterns of MHC diversity in natural populations and highlight the consequences of lower MHC diversity ...

Plant, Cell &Environment, Volume 48, Issue 3, Page 2040-2052, March 2025.ABSTRACT The rhizosphere is a key interface between plants, microbes and the soil which influences plant health and nutrition and modulates terrestrial biogeochemical cycling. Recent research has shown that the rhizosphere environment is far more dynamic than previously recognised, with evidence emerging for diurnal rhythmicity in rhizosphere chemistry

Effects of Plant Stress on Facultative Apomixis in Boechera (Brassicaceae) [PDF]
, 2015 In flowering plants, apomixis is asexual reproduction by seeds. Apomixis allows the production of offspring with the same genetic characteristics as the mother plant. Fertilization is not required.

Applications in Plant Sciences, Volume 13, Issue 1, January-February 2025.Abstract Premise Orthology inference is crucial for comparative genomics, and multiple algorithms have been developed to identify putative orthologs for downstream analyses. Despite the abundance of proposed solutions, including publicly available benchmarks, it is difficult to assess which tool is most suitable for plant species, which commonly have ...

Tissue Culture as a Source of Replicates in Nonmodel Plants: Variation in Cold Response in Arabidopsis lyrata ssp. petraea [PDF]
, 2016 While genotype–environment interaction is increasingly receiving attention by ecologists and evolutionary biologists, such studies need genetically homogeneous replicates—a challenging hurdle in outcrossing plants.

Plant Biology, Volume 27, Issue 1, Page 163-171, January 2025.Herbivory on the leaves and flowers of the polymorphic herb Anemone coronaria differs by flower colour, potentially helping to maintain flower colour polymorphism. Abstract Most flowering plants are colour monomorphic, while within‐population flower colour variation is rare.

Climate-Induced Changes in the Germination Phenology of \u3ci\u3eBoechera Stricta\u3c/i\u3e [PDF]
, 2014 Climate change is having demonstrable, worldwide impacts on ecological systems in ways that have modified aspects of organism behavior. Plant phenologies have responded to warmer temperatures in a variety of ways that may have implications for long-term ...

Understanding the chemodiversity of plants: Quantification, variation and ecological function
Ecological Monographs, Volume 94, Issue 4, November 2024.Abstract Plants produce a great number of phytochemicals serving a variety of different functions. Recently, the chemodiversity of these compounds (i.e., the diversity of compounds produced by a plant) has been suggested to be an important aspect of the plant phenotype that may shape interactions between plants, their environment, and other organisms ...
