Polyploidy has been hypothesized to be both an evolutionary dead-end and a source for
evolutionary innovation and species diversification. Although polyploid organisms …

Through the process of domestication, selection is targeted on a limited number of plant
traits that are typically associated with yield. As an unintended consequence, domesticated …

While numerous studies implicate the microbiome in host fitness, contributions of host
evolution to microbial recruitment remain largely uncharacterized. Past work has shown that …

Polyploidy is widespread and particularly common in angiosperms. The prevalence of
polyploidy in the plant suggests it as a crucial driver of diversification and speciation. The …

Microbial symbiosis in legumes is achieved through nitrogen-fixing root nodules, and these
are important for sustainable agriculture. The molecular mechanisms underlying …

Background Polyploidy is known to significantly alter plant genomes, phenotypes and
interactions with the abiotic environment, yet the impacts of polyploidy on plant–biotic …

Premise Polyploidy is a major genetic driver of ecological and evolutionary processes in
plants, yet its effects on plant interactions with mutualistic microbes remain unresolved. The …

The algal endosymbiont Durusdinium trenchii enhances the resilience of coral reefs under
thermal stress. D. trenchii can live freely or in endosymbiosis, and the analysis of genetic …

A deeper understanding of plant control over the rhizosphere, especially from the
evolutionary perspective, is needed for environmentally friendly breeding to take advantage …

A major threat to gibel carp aquaculture is an epizootic disease caused by C. auratus
herpesvirus (CaHV). Therefore, breeding of disease resistant strain is one of significant …
