Secondary sex characters may be incidental consequences of the developmental or genetic basis of sex determination and not adaptive themselves, or they may be selected as optimal strategies for the sexes, or both kinds of explanation may simultaneously be applied. We propose that many of the observe...
Plants in their natural environment are involved in multiple interspecific biotic interactions, for example with animals that pollinate flowers and/or feed on plant tissue26,27. By feeding on plants, herbivores induce strong selection on defense mechanisms in plants that may differ depending on the f...
Plant viruses differ significantly from other microbial pathogens in their simple structure and minute size, method of replication and obligate parasitism. Despite their simple structure, they cause numerous economically important plant diseases that still remain as threat to crop production in several coun...
Irises are beautiful flowers that have a wide variety of colours. Some are used to make orris root, which has a lovely scent but can cause an allergic response.
All RAD protocols have been proved to be powerful tools for SNP discovery and genotyping of model and non-model species. However, startup of them all usually involves pre-experiment of (1) testing candidate endonuclease that could produce a suitable RAD or GBS library [25], and (2) purchasi...
The boreal forest of Canada is home to several hundred thousands Aboriginal people who have been using medicinal plants in traditional health care systems for thousands of years. This knowledge, transmitted by oral tradition from generation to generation
Andrew Clark's (1949) Invasion of New Zealand by People, Plants and Animals is an exemplar of a "diachronic" or a "vertical themes" approach to the study of geographical change. Within scholarly geographical endeavors such as teaching, research, conferencing, and networking, ...

The sharp increase of plant genome and transcriptome data provide valuable resources to investigate evolutionary consequences of gene duplication in a range of taxa, and unravel common principles underlying duplicate gene retention. We survey 141 sequenc
