DOI: 10.1080/00275514.2020.1746607
Abstract: ABSTRACT Many efforts have been made to select and isolate naturally occurring animal-friendly Epichloë strains for later reinfection into elite cultivars. Often this process involves large-scale screening of Epichloë-infected wild grass populations where strains are… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/jpe/rtx068
Abstract: Studies along environmental gradients have shown that intraspecific trait variation (ITV) may contribute considerably to community-level trait variation. However, we lack knowledge about how the extent of ITV varies on a local scale and whether… read more here.

DOI: 10.1159/000462915
Abstract: FISH is a useful method to identify individual chromosomes in a karyotype and to discover their structural changes accompanying genome evolution and speciation. DNA probes for FISH should be chromosome specific and/or exhibit specific patterns… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fpls.2018.01222
Abstract: While substantial progress has been made in understanding defense responses of cereals to insect herbivores, comparatively little is known about responses to feeding by spider mites. Nevertheless, several spider mite species, including the generalist Tetranychus… read more here.

Festuca pratensis-like Subgenome Reassembly from a “Chromosomal Cocktail” in the Intergeneric Festulolium (Poaceae) Hybrid: A Rare Chromoanagenesis Event in Grasses
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2023 at "Plants"
DOI: 10.3390/plants12050984
Abstract: Festuca and Lolium grass species are used for Festulolium hybrid variety production where they display trait complementarities. However, at the genome level, they show antagonisms and a broad scale of rearrangements. A rare case of… read more here.
