Molecular biology and evolution, 2017 The majority of variation in rates of molecular evolution among seed plants remains both unexplored and unexplained. Although some attention has been given to flowering plants, reports of molecular evolutionary rates for their sister plant clade ...

Communications BiologyMany plants are facultatively asexual, balancing short-term benefits with long-term costs of asexuality. During range expansion, natural selection likely influences the genetic controls of asexuality in these organisms.

Genetic Mechanism of Non-Targeted-Site Resistance to Diquat in Spirodela polyrhiza
PlantsUnderstanding non-target-site resistance (NTSR) to herbicides represents a pressing challenge as NTSR is widespread in many weeds. Using giant duckweed (Spirodela polyrhiza) as a model, we systematically investigated genetic and molecular mechanisms of ...

Evolutionary radiations in the species-rich mountain genus Saxifraga L.
BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2017 Background A large number of taxa have undergone evolutionary radiations in mountainous areas, rendering alpine systems particularly suitable to study the extrinsic and intrinsic factors that have shaped diversification patterns in plants.

BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2017 Background The classification of closely related plants is not straightforward. These morphologically similar taxa frequently maintain their inter-hybridization potential and share ancestral polymorphisms as a consequence of their recent divergence ...

Exploring the phylogeography of a hexaploid freshwater fish by RAD sequencing
Ecology and Evolution, 2018 The KwaZulu‐Natal yellowfish (Labeobarbus natalensis) is an abundant cyprinid, endemic to KwaZulu‐Natal Province, South Africa. In this study, we developed a single‐nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) dataset from double‐digest restriction site‐associated DNA (

Maternal Effects in Molecular Evolution [PDF]
Physical Review Letters, 2002 We introduce a model of molecular evolution in which the fitness of an individual depends both on its own and on the parent's genotype. The model can be solved by means of a nonlinear mapping onto the standard quasispecies model. The dependency on the parental genotypes cancels from the mean fitness, but not from the individual sequence concentrations.

Pre-bilaterian origin of the blastoporal axial organizer
Nature Communications, 2016 In vertebrate embryos, Wnt/β-catenin signaling induces an organizer area guiding the formation of body axes and inducing extra axes upon transplantation. Here, Kraus et al.
