Abstract: BACKGROUND AND AIMS UV-B radiation damages the DNA, cells, and photosynthetic apparatus of plants. Plants commonly prevent this damage by synthetizing UV-B protective compounds. Recent laboratory experiments in Arabidopsis and cucumber indicate that plants can… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/eva.12959
Abstract: Mismatches between the traits of a colonizing population and a novel habitat can generate strong selection, potentially resulting in rapid adaptation. However, for most colonization events, it can be difficult to detect rapid adaptation or… read more here.

DOI: 10.17221/10342-pps
Abstract: The general outcomes of long-term trajectories of coevolutionary interactions between specific hosts and pathogens are set by the interaction of their life histories. However, within those outcomes the speed of co-evolutionary responses and the extent… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fpls.2019.00358
Abstract: Apomixis, the asexual reproduction via seed, has many potential applications for plant breeding by maintaining desirable genotypes over generations. Since most major crops do not express natural apomixis, it is useful to understand the origin… read more here.

DOI: 10.7717/peerj.6140
Abstract: Wild plant populations may harbour a myriad of unknown viruses. As the majority of research efforts have targeted economically important plant species, the diversity and prevalence of viruses in the wild has remained largely unknown.… read more here.
