Applications in Plant Sciences, EarlyView.Abstract Premise As the sister clade to angiosperms, extant gymnosperms are crucial for reconstructing ancestral gene regulatory networks in seed plants. This highlights the need for model systems representing each of their distinct lineages. However, tools to quickly and effectively investigate gene function in gymnosperms are still limited due to the

Ecophysiological traits of grasses: resolving the effects of photosynthetic pathway and phylogeny [PDF]
, 2009 C4 photosynthesis is an important example of convergent evolution in plants, having arisen in eudicots, monocots and diatoms. Comparisons between such diverse groups are confounded by phylogenetic and ecological differences, so that only broad ...

Applications in Plant Sciences, EarlyView.Abstract Premise There is a knowledge gap regarding how foliar injury and restricted water uptake can be detected by measuring root dielectric response. This pot study nondestructively evaluated the efficiency of real‐time dielectric measurement to monitor the effects of glyphosate spraying.

Linking hard and soft traits: Physiology, morphology and anatomy interact to determine habitat affinities to soil water availability in herbaceous dicots. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2018 Species' habitat affinities along environmental gradients should be determined by a combination of physiological (hard) and morpho-anatomical (soft) traits.

Interaction Between Actin and Microtubules During Plant Development
Cytoskeleton, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The dynamic interaction between actin filaments (AFs) and microtubules (MTs) plays a crucial role in regulating key developmental and physiological processes in plant cells, particularly in the formation of specialized cell types with distinct shapes and functions, such as pollen tubes, trichomes, and leaf epidermal cells.

Pleiotropy of FRIGIDA enhances the potential for multivariate adaptation. [PDF]
, 2013 An evolutionary response to selection requires genetic variation; however, even if it exists, then the genetic details of the variation can constrain adaptation.

Stomatal Traits and Flowering Behavior as Selection Criteria in Apricots
International Journal of Fruit Science, 2011 Significant genotypic variation with reference to altitudinal changes was found in stomatal frequency, size, and flowering characters of sixteen apricot genotypes collected from different altitudes and planted in one orchard. Stomatal frequency ranged from 167–343 stomata/mm2, and stomatal size ranged from 65–102 μm.
