Developing European conservation and mitigation tools for pollination services: approaches of the STEP (Status and Trends of European Pollinators) project [PDF]
, 2011 Pollinating insects form a key component of European biodiversity, and provide a vital ecosystem service to crops and wild plants. There is growing evidence of declines in both wild and domesticated pollinators, and parallel declines in plants relying ...

Plant Systematics and Evolution, 2011 In this paper, we studied the floral biology of Tecoma fulva ssp. garrocha and T. stans in Vaqueros (Salta, Argentina), where both species coexist. We tested the idea that floral traits are associated with the pollinator types that visit them. According to our results, T. fulva ssp.

Parasitic Plant–Host Interactions: Molecular Mechanisms and Agricultural Resistance Strategies
Advanced Science, EarlyView.Parasitic plants devastate global agriculture through sophisticated molecular interactions with host crops. This review synthesizes current understanding of parasitic plant‐host interactions, from strigolactone‐mediated germination and haustorium formation to host defense mechanisms.

Large-effect flowering time mutations reveal conditionally adaptive paths through fitness landscapes in Arabidopsis thaliana. [PDF]
, 2019 Contrary to previous assumptions that most mutations are deleterious, there is increasing evidence for persistence of large-effect mutations in natural populations.

Pleiotropy of FRIGIDA enhances the potential for multivariate adaptation. [PDF]
, 2013 An evolutionary response to selection requires genetic variation; however, even if it exists, then the genetic details of the variation can constrain adaptation.

Quantitative Trait Loci for Floral Morphology in Arabidopsis thaliana [PDF]
Genetics, 2000 Abstract A central question in biology is how genes control the expression of quantitative variation. We used statistical methods to estimate genetic variation in eight Arabidopsis thaliana floral characters (fresh flower mass, petal length, petal width, sepal length, sepal width, long stamen length, short stamen length, and pistil ...

Advanced Science, EarlyView.Root lodging severely limits crop yield and quality. We reveal that ZmRLR1, a plasma membrane b‐type cytochrome, regulates lodging resistance in maize through dual roles: modulating intracellular redox balance and functioning as a novel component of clathrin‐mediated endocytosis to influence auxin homeostasis. Moreover, natural variations in the ZmRLR1

The effects of warming on floral traits [PDF]
, 2023 Climate change is a significant threat to plant survival and reproduction. Warmer temperatures could affect floral traits that are important for attracting pollinators and for regulating flower temperature. I grew Cucumis sativus at ambient or ambient +4 °C temperatures to determine if warming affects plant development (date of anthesis, floral display
