Do they really hybridize? A field study in artificially established mixed populations of Euphrasia minima and E. salisburgensis (Orobanchaceae) in the Swiss Alps [PDF]
, 2018 Hybridization and introgression in the European species of Euphrasia depend on the relationships between the species, on flower size and habitat. Hybridization between Euphrasia minima and Euphrasia salisburgensis was investigated in their natural ...

PEK14: A Kinesin‐4 Necessary for Male‐Derived Fertility in Arabidopsis thaliana
Cytoskeleton, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Of the 61 kinesins annotated in Arabidopsis thaliana, many are still without assigned function. Here, we have screened an insertional mutant library of Arabidopsis pollen‐expressed kinesins for fertility defects. Insertional mutants for three kinesins showed a significant reduction in seed set.

Cytoskeleton, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Of the three types of cytoskeleton known in animals—actin, microtubules, and intermediate filaments—only actin and microtubules exist in plants. Both play important roles in cellular shaping, organelle movement, organization of the endomembrane system, and cell signaling.

Minimum Distance Requirements and Liability: Implications for Co-Existence [PDF]
The co-existence of conventional and transgenic products in the food chain introduces new elements in the evaluation of the profitability of transgenic crops and, consequently, on the farmer’s adoption decision.

How selfing and intra- and interspecific crossing influence seed set, morphology and ploidy level in Euphrasia: An experimental study of species occurring in the Alps of Switzerland [PDF]
, 2018 Annual alpine species rely on selfing rather than on cross-pollination for successful reproduction. However, insect visits may occasionally cause cross-pollination not only within but also between closely related species.

Making Two out of One: Kinesin Motors Driving Plant Cell Division
Cytoskeleton, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The Kinesin superfamily of microtubule dependent motors is present in all eukaryotes. Not all of the subfamilies are represented in all kingdoms, and the ones that are do not always show conserved functions. Tight control of the cytoskeleton is essential for proper progression and completion of mitosis and cytokinesis, and key functions are ...

Seeds of Doubt: North American farmers' experiences of GM crops [PDF]
, 2002 The picture the biotechnology industry has painted of GM crops in North America is one of unqualified success, after six years of commercial growing. The objective of this report was to assess whether this image is accurate and if not what problems have ...
