Conceptualizing plant systems evolution
Current Opinion in Plant Biology, 2018Organisms inhabiting extreme environments are emerging models in systems evolution, enabling us to identify the molecular alterations effecting major phenotypic divergence through comparative approaches. Here I discuss possible physiological mechanisms underlying evolutionary adaptations to extreme environments both theoretically and in relation to ...

Current Opinion in Microbiology, 2003
RNA viruses are the most common viruses of plants, and the evolution of these viruses has been studied both experimentally and phylogenetically. The basic molecular mechanisms for plant virus evolution are similar to those of other viruses, with some notable exceptions. Recent advances include new insights into the origins of plant viruses, analyses of

Plant sex chromosome evolution
Journal of Experimental Botany, 2012It is now well established that plants have an important place in studies of sex chromosome evolution because of the repeated independent evolution of separate sexes and sex chromosomes. There has been considerable recent progress in studying plant sex chromosomes.

Evolution of endophyte?plant symbioses
Trends in Plant Science, 2004Abstract All fungi invading plant foliage have an asymptomatic period in their life cycle that varies from an imperceptibly short period (e.g. pathogens) to a lifetime (e.g. Neotyphodium endophytes in grasses). Endophytic fungus–grass associations are generally treated separately from parasitic, pathogenic and saprophytic interactions and are viewed

Plant domestication slows pest evolution
Ecology Letters, 2015AbstractAgricultural practices such as breeding resistant varieties and pesticide use can cause rapid evolution of pest species, but it remains unknown how plant domestication itself impacts pest contemporary evolution. Using experimental evolution on a comparative phylogenetic scale, we compared the evolutionary dynamics of a globally important ...

Driving evolution in wild plants
Nature PlantsTwo groups of scientists independently engineer gene drives in Arabidopsis thaliana, demonstrating the possibility for spreading fitness-reducing genetic modifications through wild populations of plants for population suppression.

The evolution of plant development
Current Opinion in Plant Biology, 1998There has been much recent interest in the evolution of plant development and especially in trying to understand the developmental genetic basis of morphological evolution. Significant progress has been made in understanding the evolution of floral organization and the mechanisms that might underlie the evolution of compound leaves and inflorescence ...

Plant miRNA Conservation and Evolution
2019Plant microRNAs do not only perform important roles in development; they also have a fascinating evolutionary dynamics. Their genes appear to originate at quite a high rate during evolution, but most of them evolve initially in an almost neutral way and hence also get lost quite rapidly. Despite the high birth and death rate, a few miRNA-encoding genes
