Genome size (GS) is known to be highly variable among angiosperm species. However, this variation can also occur within species. Both interspecific and intraspecific variations in GS have been often ....

Data- and code-archiving are important components of open science, as both make research more transparent, reproducible, accountable and credible, allowing future researchers to build on previous ...

Understanding the mechanisms underlying fast diversifications is central to evolutionary biology. This can be partly achieved by focusing on intrinsic reproductive barriers that emerge during early s...

AbstractBackground and Aims. Understanding how plant species respond to extreme conditions is crucial for predicting their ecological resilience under clim

Abstract. Why natural populations harbor high additive genetic variance for fitness remains an evolutionary puzzle. Connallon and Czuppon (2026) show that

Interview with Noni Franklin-Tong, who studied self-incompatibility in the field poppy at the University of Birmingham, where she is now Emeritus Professor of Plant Cell Biology.

Flowering plants have many modes of sexual reproduction, notably varying from selfing to outcrossing, and from bisexual flowers to individuals with separate sexes (dioecy). These reproductive modes ...

Abstract Coevolution requires reciprocal genotype-by-genotype (G × G) interactions for fitness, which occur when the fitness of a genotype in one species depends on the genotype it interacts with in a...

A study conducted on the wild plant Brassica incana identifies a complex genetic architecture underlying seed trait adaptation and shows how several candidate genes overlap with those involved in adap...

Estimating quantitative genetic and phenotypic (co)variances is crucial for investigating evolutionary ecological phenomena such as developmental integration, life history trade-offs and niche spe...
