Summary Heritable variation in plant phenotypes, and thus potential for evolutionary change, can principle not only be caused by DNA sequence, but also underlying epigenetic variation. However, the scope of such phenotypic effects their significance are largely unexplored. Here, we conducted a glasshouse experiment which tested response large number recombinant inbred lines (epi RIL s) Arabidopsis thaliana – that nearly isogenic highly variable at level methylation to drought increased...
Aquatic plant invasions are often associated with long-distance dispersal of vegetative propagules and prolific clonal reproduction. These reproductive features combined genetic bottlenecks have the potential to severely limit diversity in invasive populations. To investigate this question we conducted a global scale population survey using amplified fragment length polymorphism markers world's most successful aquatic invader -Eichhornia crassipes (water hyacinth). We sampled 1140 ramets...
Land‐use intensification is a key driver of biodiversity change. However, little known about how it alters relationships between the diversities different taxonomic groups, which are often correlated due to shared environmental drivers and trophic interactions. Using data from 150 grassland sites, we examined land‐use (increased fertilization, higher livestock densities, increased mowing frequency) altered correlations species richness 15 plant, invertebrate, vertebrate taxa. We found that...
Abstract Genetic admixture, the intraspecific hybridization among divergent introduced sources, can immediately facilitate colonization via hybrid vigor and profoundly enhance invasion contributing novel genetic variation to adaption. As is short‐lived, provisioning adaptation anticipated be dominant long‐term profit of but evidence for this rare. We employed 30 years' geographic‐scale salt marsh grass, Spartina alterniflora , as an evolutionary experiment evaluated consequences admixture by...
Microplastics (MPs), as a new type of pollution, could result in serious environmental pollution due to its special properties. Meanwhile, the damage MPs environment be reflected by characteristics sewage sludge, one dominant sinks MPs. Therefore, this study investigated abundance and sludge derived from Yangling, Shaanxi province. Results showed that among all detected MPs, particle size ranged 8 μm–1 mm, especially 8–400.00 μm, accounting for 97.27%. Moreover, microplastics were...

Summary We develop a new Bayesian approach of sample size determination (SSD) for the design noninferiority clinical trials. extend fitting and sampling priors Wang Gelfand (2002, Statistical Science 17, 193–208) to SSD with focus on controlling type I error power. Historical data are incorporated via hierarchical modeling as well power prior Ibrahim Chen (2000, 15, 46–60). Various properties proposed methodology examined simulation-based computational algorithm is developed. The applied...
There is currently much speculation about the role of epigenetic variation as a determinant heritable in ecologically important plant traits. However, we still know very little phenotypic consequences variation, particular with regard to more complex traits related biotic interactions. Here, test was carried out determine whether DNA methylation alone can cause growth responses jasmonic acid and salicylic acid, two key hormones involved induction defences against herbivores pathogens. In...
Abstract Parental or ancestral environments can induce heritable phenotypic changes, but whether such environment-induced changes are a common phenomenon remains unexplored. Here, we subject 14 genotypes of Arabidopsis thaliana to 10 different environmental treatments and observe genome-wide gene expression over four successive generations. We find that all caused with substantial proportion stably transmitted observed Intriguingly, the susceptibility genotype inductions could be predicted...
Abstract Flowering time of rice ( Oryza sativa L. ) is among the most important agronomic traits for region adaptation and grain yield. In process breeding, efficient slightly modulating flowering an elite cultivar would be more popular with breeder. Hence, we are interested in increasing expression repressors by CRISPR/Cas9 genome editing system. It was predicated there were three uORFs 5’ leader sequence Hd2 . this study, through uORFs, got four homozygous mutant lines. Phenotypic analysis...
Dipterocarpoideae species form the emergent layer of Asian rainforests. They are indicator for rainforest distribution, but they severely threatened. Here, to understand their adaptation and population decline, we assemble high-quality genomes seven including two autotetraploid species. We estimate divergence time between Malvaceae within be 108.2 (97.8‒118.2) 88.4 (77.7‒102.9) million years ago, identify a whole genome duplication event preceding dipterocarp lineage diversification. find...
Abstract Increasing evidence suggests that invasive populations adapt to the novel environments rapidly, and ability of rapid adaptation depends on genetically‐based trait variation covariation. However, few studies have investigated covariance in native ranges. Such investigation will give a more comprehensive picture how historical contingency shape invasiveness, contributing prediction future invasion dynamics. Here, we collected seven nine alongside latitudes from ranges global plant,...
