National Academies of Sciences%2c Engineering%2c and Medicine: Variation and Evolution in Plants and Microorganisms
This volume is based on the National Academy of Sciences′ Colloquium on the Variation and Evolution in Plants and Microorganisms: Toward a New Synthesis 50 Years after Stebbins. The articles appearing ...
During crop production, fungal plant pathogens cause severe yield losses. Uniform agricultural ecosystems are conducive for the rapid evolution and dissemination of pathogens. The genomes of fungal ...
Brassica rapa plants pollinated by bumblebees evolve more attractive flowers. But this evolution is compromised if caterpillars attack the plant at the same time. With the bees pollinating them less ...
PULLMAN, Wash. – Without bumble bees, a flowering plant that can self-pollinate lost substantial genetic variation within only nine generations, an experimental study found. A group of “selfing” ...
MSN: Global experiment tracks plant evolution at 30 sites as climate shifts
Researchers have discovered an ancient plant species whose reproductive biology captures the evolution from one to two spore sizes -- an essential transition to the success of the seed and flowering ...

Decoding the 'impossible' chemistry of moonseed to rewrite the understanding of plant evolution
AUSTIN, TEXAS — Cities have become great unintentional experiments in evolution. Urban life can alter the basic biological traits of its plant and animal residents, down to the taste of leaves or the ...
