Understanding the ecological consequences of biodiversity is a fundamental challenge.
Research on a key component of biodiversity, genetic diversity, has traditionally focused on …

Apomixis in Plants presents a comprehensive review of different aspects of asexual seed
formation in plants. This is important in plant research since apomixis could greatly facilitate …

Parasites and infectious diseases are everywhere and represent some of the most potent
forces shaping the natural world. They affect almost every aspect imaginable in the life of …

Microbial communities associated with plant leaf surfaces (ie, the phyllosphere) are
increasingly recognized for their role in plant health. While accumulating evidence suggests …

1 Although its importance for plant mineral nutrition and nutrient cycling has long been
recognized, the soil community has rarely been integrated into dynamical frameworks of …

The nature of the interaction between plants ant their soil community was investigated by
testing for differential responses of four old—field perennial plant species to inocula derived …

REVIEW Most higher organisms reproduce sexually, despite the automatic reproductive
advantage experienced by asexual variants. This implies the operation of selective forces …

We compile and analyze data on the population genetic structure of broad‐sense clonal
plant populations where sexual recruitment is rare or absent. The data from 27 studies show …

Una suposición fundamental que resalta la aplicación de la genética en la conservación
biológica es que la endocría aumenta el riesgo de extinción. Sin embargo, no existe …

The widespread occurrence of sexual reproduction is an important problem in evolutionary
theory, because of the cost of producing males in dioecious organisms and the allocation of …
