Revista Mexicana de Biodiversidad, 2015 Ruellia nudiflora has shown a high potential to easily invade disturbed areas. Outcrossing rate and genetic structure and diversity in this species were examined along a climatic gradient in the Yucatán Peninsula (Mexico) in order to understand the ...

Pollination biology and outcrossing rates in hermaphroditic schiedea lydgatei (Caryophyllaceae) [PDF]
American Journal of Botany, 1997 The influence of outcrossing and pollination biology on the maintenance of hermaphroditism was studied for Schiedea lydgatei (Caryophyllaceae: Alsinoideae), a species endemic to Moloka‘i in the Hawaiian Islands. Schiedea lydgatei is the only hermaphroditic species in an otherwise dimorphic clade and hermaphroditism is likely the result of a reversal ...

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.midkine‐a (mdka), a pan‐injury response gene in vertebrates, is precisely regulated in the zebrafish telencephalon by a modular cis‐regulatory architecture. This control ensures proper expression during development, adult brain homeostasis, and regeneration.

Notulae Scientia Biologicae, 2018 The many reported inherent nutritional potential in African yam bean (Sphenostylis stenocarpa (Hochst. Ex. A. Rich.) Harms) seem to provide platform for the need of its genetic improvement.

Convergence and parallelism in the evolution of plant metabolism
Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.Similar traits in different organisms may originate from shared ancestry or evolve independently. The terminology used to define phenotypic similarity is often confusing. This review attempts to clarify the definitions and present examples from plant domestication and specialized metabolism to explain how complex traits evolve repeatedly in plants ...

Time-Dependent Reliability Analysis of Mechanical Structures using an Analytical Approach [PDF]
International Journal of Advanced Design and Manufacturing Technology, 2017 Time-dependent reliability analysis of mechanical structures is concerned by the use of an outcrossing approach. In this approach the so-called outcrossing rate plays a critical role and thus it is important to estimate it as straight ward as possible ...

Relationship between empty seed and genetic factors in European beech (Fagus sylvatica L.)
Silva Fennica, 2003 The relationship between percentage of empty seed (Pes) and genetic factors was explored in an isolated stand of European beech (Fagus sylvatica L.). Nine allozyme loci (GOT-B, IDH-A, LAP-A, MDH-B, MDH-C, MNR-A, 6-PGDH-A, PGI-B and PGM-A) were used to

Journal of Phycology, EarlyView.Abstract The invasion of the red macroalga Gracilaria vermiculophylla provided an opportunity to investigate the influence of benthic habitats on the reproductive mode, population structure, and colonization dynamics in haploid‐diploid life cycles.

Plants, 2013 We tested three predictions regarding the joint evolution of pollen performance and mating system. First, due to the potential for intense intrasexual competition in outcrossing populations, we predicted that outcrossers would produce faster-growing ...

Recombination suppression in plant adaptation and speciation
New Phytologist, EarlyView.Summary Recombination suppression is increasingly recognized as an important facilitator of genomic divergence and speciation, especially under ongoing gene flow. In plants, however, the broader evolutionary consequences and the mechanisms by which recombination suppression arises and spreads are still incompletely understood, reflecting the inherent ...
