Revising the global biogeography of annual and perennial plants [PDF]
There are two main life cycles in plants, annual and perennial. These life cycles are associated with different traits that determine ecosystem function. Although life cycles are textbook examples of plant adaptation to different environments, we lack comprehensive knowledge regarding their global distributional patterns.

Genomic variation and evolutionary patterns in organelle genomes between annual and perennial Glycine species [PDF]
Background The complexity of structural variations and long stretches of repetitive DNA make the analysis of plant mitochondrial genomes (mitogenomes) exceptionally challenging.

Genotyping of Jujube (Ziziphus spp.) Germplasm in New Mexico and Southwestern Texas
Since the early 19th century, a substantial amount of jujube (Ziziphus spp.) germplasm has been introduced from China and Europe into the United States. However, due to a lack of passport data, cultivar mislabeling is common and the genetic background of

Differential responses of the seed germination of three functional groups to low temperature and darkness in a typical steppe, Northern China [PDF]
Seed germination is a key stage in the life history of plants, which has a crucial effect on plant community structure. Climate change has substantially altered the surface soil temperature and light availability, which can affect seed germination ...

A Comprehensive Look at Nitrogen and Phosphorus Use Efficiency in Saffron (Crocus Sativus L.) [PDF]
Saffron (Crocus sativus L.) is an annual plant from a biological aspect, but it has a perennial cycle in the field conditions. Cytological impairments such as triploid and self-incompatibility mechanisms are considered as the most important reasons for ...

Functional annotation of creeping bentgrass protein sequences based on convolutional neural network [PDF]
Background: Creeping bentgrass (Agrostis soionifera) is a perennial grass of Gramineae, belonging to cold season turfgrass, but has poor disease resistance. Up to now, little is known about the induced systemic resistance (ISR) mechanism, especially the relevant functional proteins, which is important to disease resistance of turfgrass.

Divergent DNA Methylation Signatures of Juvenile Seedlings, Grafts and Adult Apple Trees
The vast majority of previous studies on epigenetics in plants have centered on the study of inheritance of DNA methylation patterns in annual plants. In contrast, perennial plants may have the ability to accumulate changes in DNA methylation patterns ...
