Trans-generational inheritance of herbivory-induced phenotypic changes in Brassica rapa

Scientific Reports, 2018
Biotic stress can induce plastic changes in fitness-relevant plant traits. Recently, it has been shown that such changes can be transmitted to subsequent generations.

Co-evolution of male and female reproductive traits across the Bruchidae (Coleoptera) [PDF]

, 2008
1. Despite the obvious importance of spermatozoa to individual reproductive success a general explanation of variation in spermatozoan form and function is still lacking. In species with internal fertilization, sperm not only have to interact with the

Pollinator and floral odor specificity among four synchronopatric species of Ceropegia (Apocynaceae) suggests ethological isolation that prevents reproductive interference

Scientific Reports, 2022
Possession of flowers that trap fly pollinators is a conservative trait within the genus Ceropegia, in which pollination systems can be generalized or highly specialized.

Stable isotopes reveal differences in diet among reed bunting subspecies that vary in bill size [PDF]

, 2016
Reed bunting Emberiza schoeniclus subspecies vary considerably in bill size and shape and seem to be at an early stage of speciation, in which bill might be indirectly causing reproductive isolation.

Comparison of reproductive organs structure in various genotypes of Phaseolus vulgaris grown under the same conditions in Mersin, Turkey

Інтродукція Рослин, 2021
The common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris) is a plant having hermaphroditic flowers, which are self-fertilizing. Common bean is a important commercial crop and one of Turkey’s most valuable grain legumes for human consumption.

Multifunctional Bracts in the Dove Tree Davidia involucrata (Nyssaceae:Cornales) [PDF]

, 2008
Although there has been much experimental work on floral traits that are under selection from mutualists and antagonists, selection by abiotic environmental factors on flowers has been largely ignored.

The invasiveness of Hypochaeris glabra (Asteraceae): Responses in morphological and reproductive traits for exotic populations.

PLoS ONE, 2018
Scientists have been interested in many topics driven by biological invasions, such as shifts in the area of distribution of plant species and rapid evolution.

Development on drought‐stressed host plants affects life history, flight morphology and reproductive output relative to landscape structure

Evolutionary Applications, 2011
AbstractWith global climate change, rainfall is becoming more variable. Predicting the responses of species to changing rainfall levels is difficult because, for example in herbivorous species, these effects may be mediated indirectly through changes in host plant quality.

Assessment of sperm quality in Plasmodium berghei NK65 infected mice treated with brimstone (Morinda lucida Benth) tree plant

Scientific African, 2023
Malaria fever is a common infection in Nigeria while the uncontrolled usage of synthesized anti-malarial drugs might have contributed to the ineffectiveness of the male reproductive hormones and the sperm quality in humans. Brimstone plant called “Oruwo”

Arguments for and against self and non-self root recognition in plants [PDF]

, 2014
Root–root interaction research gained more and more attention over the past few years. Roots are pivotal for plant survival because they ensure uptake of water and nutrients.
