Implications of hybridisation and cytotypic differentiation in speciation assessed by AFLP and plastid haplotypes : a case study of Potentilla alpicola La Soie [PDF]

, 2012
Background: Hybridisation is presumed to be an important mechanism in plant speciation and a creative evolutionary force often accompanied by polyploidisation and in some cases by apomixis. The Potentilla collina group constitutes a particularly suitable

Multi‐omics analyses shed lights on the evolution and fruit development of Chinese raspberries (Rubus spp.)

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.
High‐quality genomes of four wild raspberry species, analysis of their genetic relationships, identification of centromeres as markers for tracing their hybrid origins, exploration of fruit quality regulation, and discovery of a gene blocking anthocyanin transport and thus causing yellow fruits provides valuable resources for raspberry breeding ...

Spatial Relation of Bumblebees (Hymenoptera-Apidae) with Host-Plant and their Conservation Issues: An Outlook from Urban Ecosystem of Kathmandu Valley, Nepal [PDF]

, 2019
Ecology and conservation status of bumblebee species remains poorly understood, especially in rapidly degrading urban ecosystems, which is important considering the role of bumblebees in the pollinations. We collected more than 200 bumblebee (Bombus

The multidimensional regulation roles and mechanisms of calcium in fruit quality

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.
This review explores how calcium signaling molecule integrates plant hormones, environmental cues, and developmental signals to influence external fruit traits, internal nutritional properties, and physiological disorders. ABSTRACT Calcium (Ca2+), a dual‐functional mineral that serves both as an essential structural factor and a signaling molecule ...

Seeing herbaria in a new light: leaf reflectance spectroscopy unlocks trait and classification modeling in plant biodiversity collections

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Summary Reflectance spectroscopy is a rapid method for estimating traits and discriminating species. Spectral libraries from herbarium specimens represent an untapped resource for generating broad phenomic datasets across space, time, and taxa. We conducted a proof‐of‐concept study using trait data and spectra from herbarium specimens up to 179 yr old,

Aleurocystis gloeocystidiata sp. nov. on Polylepis australis in Argentina [PDF]

, 2005
The new taxon Aleurocystis gloeocystidiata is described, growing on living ranchlets of Polylepis australis in Central Argentina. It is characterized by a discoid-cupuloid basidiome, ellipsoid basidiospores 17-24 x 12-15 µm, metuloid cystidia ...

Invasive plants optimize leaf nitrogen allocation in photosynthesis

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Summary Invasive plants often outcompete co‐occurring native species by expressing acquisitive functional traits that promote high photosynthetic capacity. However, it remains unclear whether these traits are newly evolved in the introduced (‘away’) range or if invaders arrived preadapted with superior traits from their native (‘home’) range.

Pangenome Analysis Reveals Structural Variations Associated With Citric Acid Accumulation in Prunus mume

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Pangenome can reveal a large number of variations, providing a more comprehensive view of the genetic diversity of species that a single reference genome cannot surpass. Here, we assembled the haplotype telomere‐to‐telomere genome and 10 chromosome‐level genomes, integrated with two previously reported genomes, and constructed a graph ...

Replicability of data collected for empirical estimation of relative pollen productivity [PDF]

, 2016
The effects of repeated survey and fieldwork timing on data derived from a recently proposed standard field methodology for empirical estimation of relative pollen productivity (RPP) have been tested.
