- Abstract:
- ... Grasses have varying inflorescence shapes; however, little is known about the genetic mechanisms specifying such shapes among tribes. We identified the grass-specific TCP transcription factor COMPOSITUM1 (COM1) expressed in inflorescence meristematic boundaries of different grasses. COM1 specifies "branch-inhibition" in Triticeae-barley versus "branch-formation" in non-Triticeae grasses. Analyses ...

- Abstract:
- ... Over the past two decades, control efforts have halved malaria cases globally, yet burdens remain high in much of Africa and elimination has not been achieved. Studies seeking to understand the paradoxical persistence of malaria in areas where surface water is absent for 3–8 months of the year, suggested that certain Anopheles mosquitoes employ long-distance migration3. Here, we confirmed this hyp ...

- Abstract:
- ... Niche dimensionality provides a general theoretical explanation for biodiversity—more niches, defined by more limiting factors, allow for more ways that species can coexist. Because plant species compete for the same set of limiting resources, theory predicts that addition of a limiting resource eliminates potential trade-offs, reducing the number of species that can coexist. Multiple nutrient lim ...

The common ancestor of salmonids underwent an autotetraploid whole genome duplication event (Ss4R) approximately eighty million years ago, which provides unique opportunities to study the early evolutionary fate of a duplicated vertebrate genome in different extant lineages. Here, we present a high quality genome assembly for Atlantic salmon genome and demonstrate that it can serve as a reference ...

Decades of intensive study have yet to discern the actual mechanisms behind observed global patterns(2,3). Here, by integrating the predictions from multiple theories into a single model and using data from 1,126 grassland plots spanning five continents, we detect the ...

Although early results suggested that biodiversity might provide both resistance and resilience (sensu rapid recovery) of ecosystem productivity to drought, subsequent experimental tests produced mixed results. Here we generally test whether biodiversity pr ...

However, it remains unknown whether these findings are relevant to natural ecosystems, especially those for which species diversity is threatened by anthropogenic glo ...
