Combining genetic and genomics approaches for fiber quality improvement in tetraploid cotton [PDF]

, 2011
Cotton fibers are the premier natural fibers for textile production. The two tetraploid species, Gossypium barbadense and G. hirsutum, differ significantly in their fiber properties, the former having much longer, finer and stronger fibers.

Wet Season Environments Drive Local Adaptation in the Timber Tree Dicorynia guianensis in French Guiana

Molecular Ecology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The vast tropical rainforests of the Guiana Shield in Northern South America play a vital role in maintaining the region's ecological balance and economy. Increasing pressure from selective logging, gold mining and climate variability threatens these ecosystems. Sustainable rainforest management requires understanding the genetic diversity and

Morphodynamics of chloroplast network control light-avoidance response in the non-motile dinoflagellate Pyrocystis lunula [PDF]

arXiv
Photosynthetic algae play a significant role in oceanic carbon capture. Their performance, however, is constantly challenged by fluctuations in environmental light conditions. Here, we show that the non-motile single-celled marine dinoflagellate Pyrocystis lunula can internally contract its chloroplast network in response to light. By exposing the cell

Evolutionary History and Rhizosphere Microbial Community Composition in Domesticated Hops (Humulus lupulus L.)

Molecular Ecology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Humulus lupulus L., commonly known as hop, is a perennial crop grown worldwide and is well known for its pharmacological, commercial, and most importantly brewing applications. For hundreds of years, hop has undergone intense artificial selection, with over 250 cultivated varieties being developed worldwide, all displaying differences in key ...

Multiple Origins or Widespread Gene Flow in Agricultural Fields? Regional Population Genomics of Herbicide Resistance in Bromus tectorum

Molecular Ecology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The repeated evolution of herbicide resistance in agriculture provides an unprecedented opportunity to understand how organisms rapidly respond to strong anthropogenic‐driven selection pressure. We recently identified agricultural populations of the grass species Bromus tectorum L. with resistance to multiple herbicides.

Optimal disk packing of chloroplasts in plant cells [PDF]

arXiv
Photosynthesis is vital for the survival of entire ecosystems on Earth. While light is fundamental to this process, excessive exposure can be detrimental to plant cells. Chloroplasts, the photosynthetic organelles, actively move in response to light and self-organize within the cell to tune light absorption.

Unique bibenzyl cannabinoids in the liverwort Radula marginata: parallels with Cannabis chemistry

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Summary The potential of cannabinoids to address public health challenges has stimulated exploration into alternative sources and production technologies. Radula marginata, an endemic Aotearoa/New Zealand liverwort, produces the bibenzyl cannabinoid perrottetinene (PET), analogous to Cannabis psychoactive tetrahydrocannabinol (THC).

Metabolic modeling identifies determinants of thermal growth responses in Arabidopsis thaliana

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Summary Temperature is a critical environmental factor affecting nearly all plant processes, including growth, development, and yield. Yet, despite decades of research, we lack the ability to predict plant performance at different temperatures, limiting the development of climate‐resilient crops.

Regeneration and defense: unveiling the molecular interplay in plants

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Summary In both plants and animals, tissue or organ regeneration typically follows wounding, which also activates defense responses against pathogenic microbes and herbivores. Both intrinsic and environmental cues guide the molecular decisions between regeneration and defense.
