Tracing evolutionary processes that lead to fixation of genomic variation in wild bacterial populations is a prime challenge molecular evolution. In particular, the relative contribution horizontal gene transfer (HGT)
ABSTRACT The manner in which leaves adapt to different light intensities is key for enabling plants survive diverse environments and constantly changing conditions. Many studies have addressed this subject, but little attention has been given the effect that mineral deposits can on photosynthesis. Here we study 6 species of Ficus investigate how cystolith configurations affect photosynthesis both non-saturating saturating light. We quantified scattering by cystoliths absorption measuring...
