Summary Hybrids often perform better than their homozygous parents, a phenomenon that is commonly referred to as heterosis. Heterosis is widely utilized in modern agriculture, although its molecular basis is not very well understood. In this study, we backcrossed an intermated recombinant inbred line population of maize (Zea mays L.) with its parental ...

The developmental basis of floral nectary diversity and evolution
Summary Nectar is a central bridge between angiosperms and animal mutualists. It is produced by specialized structures termed nectaries, which can be found on different plant organs. Consumption of floral nectar by pollinators and the subsequent transfer of pollen contribute to the reproductive success of both angiosperms and their pollinators.

Costs of reproduction in flowering plants
Summary Costs of reproduction arise when investments into current reproduction reduce future reproductive fitness. Studies on reproductive costs use diverse approaches, including the analysis of gene expression, physiology, trade‐offs between reproduction and growth/survival, and the impact of reproductive investments on population growth.
