New Phytologist, 1946 The ecotype concept (Turesson, 1922) is a population concept, and by definition an ecotype is an intraspecific product of environmental selection arising as a result of genotypic response to a particular habitat. Accordingly, before a population qualifies for ecotype status, a relationship must be demonstrated between its heredity and the prevailing ...

Changes in Antioxidant Enzymes Activity and Oxidative Damage in Four Argania spinosa Ecotypes Under Water Stress Conditions [PDF]
, 2011 _Argania spinosa_ L. Skell, a tree endemic of Morocco, grows in semiarid and arid areas. Biochemical response to drought in four ecotypes of the _A. spinosa_ was compared.

Fruit production from Opuntia ficus-indica ecotypes in comparison to commercial Italian clones [PDF]
, 2018 Fruit production, as an elementary chemical characteristic of the fruit, was evaluated in 16 Opuntia ficus-indica Portuguese ecotypes cultivated in a marginal soil without tillage, in the second and third years after plantation. The O.

Highly replicated evolution of parapatric ecotypes [PDF]
Molecular Biology and Evolution, 2020 Abstract Parallel evolution of ecotypes occurs when selection independently drives the evolution of similar traits across similar environments. The multiple origin of ecotypes is often inferred on the basis of a phylogeny which clusters populations according to geographic location and not by the environment they ...

Effects of Rate of Drying, Life History Phase, and Ecotype on the Ability of the Moss Bryum Argenteum to Survive Desiccation Events and the Influence on Conservation and Selection of Material for Restoration [PDF]
, 2019 Desiccation stress is frequently experienced by the moss Bryum argenteum and can influence survival, propagation and niche selection. We attempted to disentangle the interacting factors of life history phase (five categories) and rate of desiccation ...

Ecotypes of the Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex [PDF]
Journal of Theoretical Biology, 2006 A phylogeny of the Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex has recently shown that the animal-adapted strains are found in a single lineage marked by the deletion of chromosomal region 9 (RD9) [Brosch et al., 2002. A new evolutionary scenario for the Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex. Proc. Natl Acad. Sci. USA 99 (6), 3684-3689].

Studies upon morhological and biological traits of Festuca rubra, subsp.fallax (Poaceae)
Acta Agrobotanica, 2013 Observation and measurements of some traits of Festuca rubra L., subsp. fallax (Thuill.) Hack. ecotypes were made in 1995-1997 using samples selected from natural habitats and collected in Grassland Experimental Station in Sosnowica. High differentiation

Temperature, light and nitrate sensing coordinate Arabidopsis seed dormancy cycling resulting in winter and summer annual phenotypes [PDF]
, 2013 Seeds use environmental cues to sense the seasons and their surroundings to initiate the plants life cycle. Dormancy cycling underlying this process is extensively described, but the molecular mechanism is largely unknown.
