Data from: Pollen limitation and autonomous selfing ability interact to shape variation in outcrossing rate across a species range

, 2019
Premise of the study: Hermaphroditic plants commonly reproduce through a mixture of selfing and outcrossing. The degree to which outcrossing rates reflect the availability of outcross pollen, genetic differentiation in the ability to autonomously self ...

Conspecific density and reproductive trade‐offs govern population response to climate in a clonal wildflower

Journal of Ecology, Volume 114, Issue 6, June 2026.
Our results demonstrate that interactive effects of clonal reproduction and intraspecific density are important contributors to plant demography and that high local density increases the negative impact of drought on population growth rates. Abstract Making predictions about the persistence of plant populations under climate change requires explicitly ...

Loss of SMARCAD1 Mitigates Tauopathy

Aging Cell, Volume 25, Issue 6, June 2026.
Using genetics approaches in a C. elegans transgenic model of tauopathy, we uncover a role for the homolog of human SMARCAD1, a regulator of chromatin dynamics. ABSTRACT Tauopathies are neurodegenerative diseases characterized by the accumulation of misfolded tau protein and include Alzheimer's disease (AD) and related dementia disorders.

Predictions From Evolutionary Theory for Urban Environments

Evolutionary Applications, Volume 19, Issue 6, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Urbanization drives rapid and extreme environmental change, profoundly shaping the ecology and evolution of populations. In this Perspective, we call for the integration and development of evolutionary theory and empirical research through collaboration between theoretical and experimental biologists to provide new insights into urban ...

Silene, a versatile model system: from sex and genome evolution to ecology and speciation

New Phytologist, Volume 250, Issue 6, Page 3613-3630, June 2026.
Summary Fundamental and applied research in evolutionary biology benefits from the use of model systems in which approaches from disparate disciplines can be integrated. Here, we review recent progress in evolutionary research on the long‐standing model system Silene, a large genus with a well‐resolved phylogeny and newly available, expanded genomic ...

Somatic genome‐doubling is the most parsimonious route to allopolyploidy

New Phytologist, Volume 250, Issue 5, Page 2845-2851, June 2026.
Summary The origin of a polyploid can hinge on a single errant cell division, a mistake in the cell cycle that leads to genome‐doubling and re‐writes the rules of chromosome pairing and segregation. In plants, the evolutionary significance of these errors is magnified by lack of an early sequestered germline, meaning somatic mutations can be heritable.

In Vivo Propagation of Root Explants of the Dandelion Species Taraxacum kok‐saghyz, Taraxacum officinale and Their Interspecific Hybrids

Plant Breeding, Volume 145, Issue 3, Page 610-624, June 2026.
ABSTRACT The dandelion species Taraxacum kok‐saghyz is a promising new crop for natural rubber production and is currently in the early stages of the breeding process. To support these efforts, the multiplication and conservation of defined genotypes are crucial.

A Vertical Stacking Approach to Rapid Generation Cycling for Indoor Growth of Tall Annual Crops—The Case of Vicia faba L.

Plant Breeding, Volume 145, Issue 3, Page 637-648, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Accelerating breeding cycles through rapid generation turnover is a demonstrated strategy to improve the rate of genetic gain in a range of staple crops. This study presents a vertically stacked accelerated single‐seed descent (aSSD) protocol for faba bean (Vicia faba L.), aimed at rapid generation cycling while ensuring robust plant ...

Factors affecting variation in outcrossing rate in Eucalyptus globulus

, 2004
The mating system of the animal-pollinated forest tree species Eucalyptus globulus Labill. was investigated in a clonal seed orchard to determine the importance of self-incompatibility, floral timing, floral abundance and canopy position on explaining ...
