Assignment of SNP allelic configuration in polyploids
Estimation of allele copy numbers for molecular markers is a challenge for polyploid species.
Shifts in mating systems under contrasting environments
Establishment of plant populations in novel environments may generate shifts in floral traits and plant mating systems.
High ploidy diversity and cytotype distribution in a biodiversity hotspot
The Greater Cape Floristic Region of southern Africa is a world biodiversity hotspot that has traditionally been considered depauperate in polyploid plants.
Cultivar identification and maintenance in self-sterile Rubus
Preservation of cultivar purity is a particular challenge for plants that are self-incompatible and have easily germinating seeds and vigorously spreading rhizomes.
Some Like It Cold
In addition to crop management, understanding vernalization could be used to identify plant communities at risk from climate change.
Ascorbic acid accumulation in Ribes fruit
We all know that vitamin C is good for us, but where does it come from?
Fine-scale mating patterns in a clonal plant species
Spatial spread of genetically identical plants may decrease paternal diversity and fertility, particularly towards the centre of large clumps of clones.
Pollen-mediated gene flow along an altitudinal gradient
Genetic connectivity is crucial in rapidly changing environments as it allows exchange and dispersal of adaptive genes among plant populations.
Plastid and nuclear variation among apomictic polyploids
Apomicts are plants grown from seeds or spores are produced without fertilization.
