This study highlights the role of phenotypic plasticity in the persistence and distribution of sibling allopolyploid marsh orchids (Dactylorhiza majalis s.l.). By examining gene expression and the di...

In 1984, Dr. Daniel Drucker, an endocrinologist from the University of Toronto, discovered a hormone that helped pave the way for popular diabetes drugs such as Ozempic.

Plasmids are a ubiquitous feature of bacterial genomes, but the evolutionary forces driving genes to become associated with plasmids are poorly understood. To address this problem, we compared the fit...

Plant Physiology is an international journal devoted to physiology, biochemistry, cellular and molecular biology, genetics, biophysics, and environmental biology of plants

Ectomycorrhizal (ECM) fungi distribute tree-derived carbon (C) via belowground hyphal networks in forest ecosystems. Here, we asked the following: (1) Is C transferred belowground to a neighboring...

Highlighted Article: Incubation temperature and prenatal corticosterone exposure have independent sustained effects, but not interactive effects, on morphological and physiological traits in the delic...

Are you interested in research that promotes a transformation towards sustainable and regional food systems dominated by agroecological practices, fair value chains, and responsible consumption? Then ...

Based on phylogenomic and geometric morphometric analyses of 132 anglerfish species, the authors infer a Cretaceous origin of the clade and show that bathypelagic anglerfish are undergoing rapid pheno...

Polyploidy, or whole-genome duplication (WGD), both a strong evolutionary and ecological force and a potential pitfall, occurs extensively across the tree of life, particularly in angiosperms. While p...

Fungus-plant interactions in the Arctic are highly pliable and can alter under changing temperature and soil conditions, according to modelling of plant and fungal communities using DNA metabarcoding ...

The bacterial sequence data publicly available at the global DNA archives is a vast source of information on the evolution of bacteria and their mobile elements. However, most of it is either unassemb...

A study identifies two genes that act as brakes controlling the sugar content of tomatoes and demonstrates their manipulation to generate sweeter tomatoes without affecting the fruit size and yield.
