Biological invasions impose ecological and economic problems on a global scale, but also
provide extraordinary opportunities for studying contemporary evolution. It is critical to …

外来植物入侵对本地生物多样性, 生态安全, 社会经济发展和人类健康造成了严重威胁. 因此,
探究植物入侵机制及其生态效应对我国生态可持续发展具有重要意义, 也是植物入侵生态学的 …

Podophyllum hexandrum is the major source of podophyllotoxin (PTOX), a highly bioactive
lignan of great pharmacological importance with anti-cancerous activities. The industrial …

Genome doubling or polyploidy is a widespread phenomenon in plants where it has
important evolutionary consequences affecting the species distribution and ecology. PAHs …

Environmental contamination by xenobiotics represents a major threat for natural
ecosystems and public health. In response, xenobiotic detoxification is a fundamental trait of …

Repeated sequences and polyploidy play a central role in plant genome dynamics. Here,
we analyze the evolutionary dynamics of repeats in tetraploid and hexaploid Spartina …

In the present work, we used a double cell screening approach based on phenanthrene
(phe) epifluorescence histochemical localization and oxygen radical detection to generate …

External temperature change has been shown to modify epigenetic patterns, such as DNA
methylation, which regulates gene expression. DNA methylation is heritable, and as such …

The common murre (Uria aalge) is a species of seabird particularly vulnerable to several
environmental stressors, including parasitic infection and oil contamination. However, the …

Background Cancer progression is governed by evolutionary dynamics in both the tumour
population and its host. Since cancers die with the host, each new population of cancer cells …
