Genetic and morphological diversity in sympatric kelps with contrasting reproductive strategies

Aquatic Biology, 2018
The evolution of asexual reproduction is considered a response to environmental conditions where it incurs less cost than sexual reproduction, maintains adapted genotypes and allows rapid proliferation into new areas.

Genetic Dissection of Stem Branch Trait and Envisioning of Fixing Heterosis by Vegetative Reproduction in Oryza rufipogon

Agronomy, 2022
The stem branch trait of the stolon enables the common wild rice to produce new individuals through vegetative reproduction habit. In order to understand the genetic mechanism of stem branch character, we developed introgression lines (ILs) with the ...

Plasticity in Meristem Allocation as an Adaptive Strategy of a Desert Shrub under Contrasting Environments

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2017
The pattern of resource allocation to reproduction vs. vegetative growth is a core component of a plant’s life-history strategy. Plants can modify their biomass allocation patterns to adapt to contrasting environments.

Reproductive Biology of Dry Grassland Specialist Ranunculus illyricus L. and Its Implications for Conservation

Biology, 2022
Ranunculus illyricus, a component of xerothermic grasslands, is a declining species and deserves active conservation treatments in many countries preceded by studies on the biology of its reproduction. So far, our knowledge of R.

Large investment of stored nitrogen and phosphorus in female cones is consistent with infrequent reproduction events of Pinus koraiensis, a high value woody oil crop in Northeast Asia

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2023
Pinus koraiensis is famous for its high-quality timber production all the way and is much more famous for its high value health-care nut oil production potential since 1990’s, but the less understanding of its reproduction biology seriously hindered its ...

Attainment of reproductive competence, phase transition, and quantification of juvenility in mutant genetic screens [PDF]

, 2014
Plant development between seedling emergence and flowering is characterized by a series of successive qualitative phases: (1) a post embryonic photoperiodinsensitive phase, during which plants are insensitive to photoperiod; (2) a photoperiod ...

Between Droughts and Floods: The Seasonal Response of Freshwater Snails in Artificial Reservoirs in the Brazilian Semiarid Region

Population Ecology, EarlyView.
We investigate the seasonal dynamics of two freshwater snails, Biomphalaria straminea and Melanoides tuberculata, in artificial reservoirs of the Brazilian semiarid region. Despite regulated hydrology, B. straminea exhibited strong seasonal fluctuations associated with dry periods, while M. tuberculata maintained stable populations throughout the year,
