cis-Regulatory elements encode the genomic blueprints that ensure the proper
spatiotemporal patterning of gene expression necessary for appropriate development and …

Theory suggests that evolutionary changes in phenotypic plasticity could either hinder or
facilitate evolutionary rescue in a changing climate. Nevertheless, the actual role of evolving …

There is abundant variation in gene expression between individuals, populations, and
species. The evolution of gene regulation and expression within and between species is …

Local adaptation is a fundamental phenomenon in evolutionary biology, with relevance to
formation of ecotypes, and ultimately new species, and application to restoration and …

Switchgrass (Panicum virgatum) is a bioenergy model crop valued for its energy efficiency
and drought tolerance. The related monocot species rice (Oryza sativa) and maize (Zea …

Abstract Changes in gene expression are important for responses to abiotic stress.
Transcriptome profiling of heat-or cold-stressed maize genotypes identifies many changes in …

Environmental stress is a major driver of ecological community dynamics and agricultural
productivity. This is especially true for soil water availability, because drought is the greatest …

Cis and trans regulatory divergence underlies phenotypic and evolutionary diversification.
Relatively little is understood about the complexity of regulatory evolution accompanying …

Plants respond to abiotic stress through a variety of physiological, biochemical, and
transcriptional mechanisms. Many genes exhibit altered levels of expression in response to …

Identifying interspecies changes in gene regulation, one of the two primary sources of
phenotypic variation, is challenging on a genome-wide scale. The use of paired time-course …
