Pathogen genetic diversity varies in response to environmental changes. However, it remains unclear whether plant barriers to invasion could be considered a genetic bottleneck for phytopathogen populations. Here, we implement a barcoding approach to gene
This is enabling the characterization of develop- mental processes at many scales and is uncovering the genetic variation underlying potentially useful traits. Malia Gehan (a postdoc in the Mockler lab, Donald Danforth Plant Science Center, USA) described the utility of an op...
To decipher how such complex non-self recognition systems evolved, Melinda Pickup, a postdoc in the group of Nick Barton at IST Austria and experimental plant biologist, worked together with theoreticians (and previous postdocs in the Barton group) Katarina Bodova, now Assistant Professor at C...

and leaves to adapt within that great diversity of Magnoliophyta species. According to the Angiosperm Phylogeny Group III system (APGIII)45angiosperms (Magnoliophyta) can be divided into Eudicotyledons and Monocots. Between these, there are major differences in leaves, flowers, roots, and other or...

“Some animals, like scrub-jays, have episodic memory,” said Jennifer Phillips, the lead author who worked on the project while a postdoc at Cal Poly and who is now a professor at Texas A&M-San Antonio. “Animals like the scrub-jay that are sensitive to noise learn to...
