(Re)-conciliation of genetics and genomics approaches for cotton fiber quality improvement [PDF]

, 2008
The integration of genomics and plant breeding is driven by the increasing availability of sequence resources and by technological developments. The simultaneous measurement of the expression of thousands of genes is possible, and comparisons between ...

The real war on cancer: the evolutionary dynamics of cancer suppression. [PDF]

, 2012
Cancer is a disease of multicellular animals caused by unregulated cell division. The prevailing model of cancer (multistage carcinogenesis) is based on the view that cancer results after a series of (generally somatic) mutations that knock out the ...

Does a whole plant conservation gradient exist within a subtropical broadleaved evergreen forest?

Frontiers in Plant Science
The coordination between leaf and root traits is crucial for plants to synchronize their strategies for acquiring and utilizing above- and belowground resources.

Spatial patterns of ectomycorrhizal assemblages in a monospecific forest in relation to host tree genotype

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2013
Ectomycorrhizas (EcM) are important for soil exploration and thereby may shape belowground interactions of roots. We investigated the composition and spatial structures of EcM assemblages in relation to host genotype in an old-growth, monospecific beech (

Variation and correlation of photosynthetic traits of eight adaptive plants in karst region of Southwest Guangxi

Guangxi Zhiwu, 2023
In order to explore the photosynthetic physiological adaptation mechanism of karst plant, the leaf photosythetic parameters of eight karst adaptable plants in Pingguo City, Guangxi were detected and analyzed, including net photosynthetic rate (Pn ...

Evolution of male genitalia: environmental and genetic factors affect genital morphology in two Drosophila sibling species and their hybrids

BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2007
Background The rapid evolution of genital morphology is a fascinating feature that accompanies many speciation events. However, the underlying patterns and explanatory processes remain to be settled.

Of hummingbirds and helicopters: Hovering costs, competitive ability, and foraging strategies [PDF]

, 2004
Wing morphology and flight kinematics profoundly influence foraging costs and the overall behavioral ecology of hummingbirds. By analogy with helicopters, previous energetic studies have applied the momentum theory of aircraft propellers to estimate ...

Leaf Phosphorus Fractions Are Coordinated with Leaf Functional Traits in Four Juvenile Tree Species from the Chinese Subtropics

Plants
Phosphorus (P) is essential for cellular processes, and P fractions within leaf tissues reflect distinct biochemical functions. However, the relationship among foliar P allocation, leaf functional traits, and soil properties in subtropical China remains ...

Kurtosis and skew show longer males in Centrobolus [PDF]

Arthropods, 2020
Sexual Size Dimorphism (SSD) in the diplopod genus Centrobolus has a positive correlation with body size. Length, width and rings are the main components of interspecific variation in diplopod species.
