An Intrinsic Geometric Constraint on Morphological Stomatal Traits

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2021
A strong negative non-linear relationship exists between stomatal density (SD) and size (SS) or length (SL), which is of high importance in gas exchange and plant evolution. However, the cause of this relationship has not been clarified.

The inevitability of C4 photosynthesis

eLife, 2014
Elements of C4 photosynthesis—a complex adaptation that increases photosynthetic efficiency—may have evolved first to correct an intercellular nitrogen imbalance, and only later evolved a central role in carbon fixation.

Cantaloupe melon genome reveals 3D chromatin features and structural relationship with the ancestral cucurbitaceae karyotype

iScience, 2022
Summary: Cucumis melo displays a large diversity of horticultural groups with cantaloupe melon the most cultivated type. Using a combination of single-molecule sequencing, 10X Genomics link-reads, high-density optical and genetic maps, and chromosome ...

The promise of genomics in the study of plant-pollinator interactions [PDF]

, 2013
Flowers exist in exceedingly complex fitness landscapes, in which subtle variation in each trait can affect the pollinators, herbivores and pleiotropically linked traits in other plant tissues.

Evolution of plant genome architecture [PDF]

, 2016
We have witnessed an explosion in our understanding of the evolution and structure of plant genomes in recent years. Here, we highlight three important emergent realizations: (1) that the evolutionary history of all plant genomes contains multiple ...

Structural Diversities and Phylogenetic Signals in Plastomes of the Early-Divergent Angiosperms: A Case Study in Saxifragales

Plants, 2022
As representative of the early-divergent groups of angiosperms, Saxifragales is extremely divergent in morphology, comprising 15 families. Within this order, our previous case studies observed significant structural diversities among the plastomes of ...

Microbial modulation of plant ethylene signaling: ecological and evolutionary consequences [PDF]

, 2018
The plant hormone ethylene is one of the central regulators of plant development and stress resistance. Optimal ethylene signaling is essential for plant fitness and is under strong selection pressure. Plants upregulate ethylene production in response to
