This paper examines selection on induced epigenetic variation ("Lamarckian evolution") in response to herbivory in Arabidopsis thaliana. The authors find weak evidence for such adaptation, which ...

The team mainly explored the behavior of a plant called 'Arabidopsis thaliana' when it was exposed to a pest attack.

To see if we can employ Raman spectroscopy to detect early changes in cellular metabolites following pathogen–plant interaction, we used the elicitors flg22 and elf18 to trigger PTI in Arabidopsis ...

Meiotic recombination is an evolutionary-conserved process that shapes genetic variation in most eukaryotes. DNA is packaged into nucleosomes, and high levels of nucleosome occupancy suppress ...
