The origin of a polyploid can hinge on a single errant cell division, a mistake in the cell cycle that leads to genome-doubling and re-writes the rules of chromosome pairing and segregation. In plants, the evolutionary significance of these...

Phenology is increasingly studied using digitized biocollection data, yet no general theory links observed specimen collection dates to the unobserved processes governing phenological events. We derive a unified mathematical theory that con...
Vernalization regulatory network identifies potential novel functions for genes in the HvVRN2 locus [0.03%]

Flowering is controlled by environmental and genetic factors. Vernalization requirement in barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) is determined by the allele in HvVRN1 and the presence of locus HvVRN2, which consists of two zinc-finger and CONSTANS-li...

Drought and heat waves have synergistic effects on mortality as plants experience both supply and demand-side water stress. Which of these stresses ultimately controls stomatal conductance (gs) and whether patterns of regulation represent b...
Drought eliminates soil microbially mediated indirect competitive advantage among exotic plants [0.03%]

Ecosystems world-wide are experiencing an accelerating accumulation of exotic plant species, posing serious threats to biodiversity and ecosystem functioning. While soil microbially mediated indirect interactions play a crucial role in shap...

Although evolutionary pollinator shifts are accepted as major sources of floral and species diversity in angiosperms, the mechanisms triggering pollinator shifts remain largely unexplored. In 1970, Stebbins proposed that ecological change m...

To protect photosystem II from excess light, non-photochemical quenching (NPQ) dissipates excess energy as heat. NPQ relies on trigger proteins, LhcSR in algae and PsbS in vascular plants, and the light-regulated xanthophyll cycle, which in...

Leaf deciduousness is a key drought-avoidance strategy in tropical flora, reducing water loss during seasonal dry periods. While winter-deciduousness in temperate regions is well-understood, the evolutionary and environmental drivers of dry...
