Thermogenesis‐derived spatiotemporal microclimates guide pollinator movement to ensure pollination

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.
Alocasia odora's microclimatic heterogeneity guides Colocasiomyia fly movement within its inflorescence. During the female stage, midday heat in the upper spadix pushes flies down to the cooler female zone. During the male stage, nocturnal warmth in the upper part pulls flies upward and spathe constriction closes the lower female chamber.

Contributions of Nonleaf Organs to the Yield of Cotton Grown with Different Water Supply

The Scientific World Journal, 2014
The objectives of this experiment were (i) to determine the effect of water supply on the photosynthetic capacity of leaves, bracts, capsule walls, and stalks of cotton at different growth stages and (ii) to determine the contributions of these nonleaf ...

Genetic, phenotypic, and ecological differentiation indicate a new cryptic and threatened species in the orchid genus Epidendrum from Alcatrazes Island, southeastern Brazil

Journal of Systematics and Evolution, EarlyView.
Epidendrum insularis occurs on the remote Alcatrazes Island in the southeastern Brazilian coast. The description of this new cryptic species was only possible by the joint use of molecular markers, reproductive experiments, flower morphometry, functional traits, and community analysis.

A phylogenomic approach for a new infrageneric classification of Bulbostylis (Abildgaardieae, Cyperaceae)

Journal of Systematics and Evolution, EarlyView.
In this study, we investigate the relationships among 149 species of Bulbostylis (Cyperaceae)—representing 69% of global diversity—using a universal probe kit for targeted genomic sequencing of flowering plants (Angiosperms353 probe kit). Our sampling also includes the genus Nelmesia, which we found to fall within Bulbostylis.

Auxin‐related regulation of barley floral organ fate: genetic and phenotypic insights from tweaky spike mutants

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Inflorescence/floret phenotypes of tweaky spike (tw) barley (Hordeum vulgare) mutants and their respective WT backgrounds. Summary Mutant‐based research is a cornerstone for elucidating gene function in barley (Hordeum vulgare) and other cereals. In this study, we exploited a unique collection of barley tweaky spike (tw) mutants to identify the locus ...

CRISPR/Cas9‐Mediated Knockout of LbSP1 and LbSP5G1 Reveals Efficient Customization of Shoot Architecture in Black Goji Berry

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Goji is recognized as a nutritionally rich superfruit with medicinal and industrial importance. However, its inherently indeterminate growth habit causes asynchronous flowering and uneven fruit ripening, resulting in harvesting inefficiency with high labour costs and low fruit yield.

Identification of Genetic Loci Conveying Resistance to Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. ciceris Race 0 in Chickpea

Plant Breeding, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) is a legume that is widely consumed around the world due to its nutritional content. Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. ciceris is a serious, destructive pathogen that causes fusarium wilt disease and affects chickpea production.

Floral adaptation and modular trait evolution associated with a shift from bee to hummingbird pollination

Plant Biology, EarlyView.
By comparing floral trait variation, integration and modularity in two sister species of Neotropical Costus with a pollination shift, we show that, despite pollination syndrome divergence, both species exhibit low floral variation and functional modularity, consistent with pollinator‐driven selection on traits mediating pollen transfer efficiency and ...
