Interspecific introgression mediates adaptation to whole genome duplication (2019)
Journal Article

Adaptive gene flow is a consequential phenomenon across all kingdoms. While recognition is increasing, examples lack of bidirectional gene flow mediating adaptations at loci that manage core processes. We previously discovered concerted molecular cha...

The genome-wide impact of cadmium on microRNA and mRNA expression in contrasting Cd responsive wheat genotypes (2019)
Journal Article

© 2019 The Author(s). Background: Heavy metal ATPases (HMAs) are responsible for Cd translocation and play a primary role in Cd detoxification in various plant species. However, the characteristics of HMAs and the regulatory mechanisms between HMAs a...

Genome-wide identification, phylogenetic and expression analysis of the heat shock transcription factor family in bread wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) (2019)
Journal Article

Background Environmental toxicity from non-essential heavy metals such as cadmium (Cd), which is released from human activities and other environmental causes, is rapidly increasing. Wheat can accumulate high levels of Cd in edible tissues, which po...

Convergent evolution in Arabidopsis halleri and Arabidopsis arenosa on calamine metalliferous soils (2019)
Journal Article

© 2019 The Authors. Published by the Royal Society under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution License It is a plausible hypothesis that parallel adaptation events to the same environmental challenge should result in genetic changes of simila...

Whole genome duplication potentiates inter-specific hybridisation and niche shifts in Australian burrowing frogs Neobatrachus (2019)
Other

Polyploidy plays an important role in evolution because it can lead to increased genetic complexity and speciation. It also provides an extra copy buffer and increases genetic novelty. While both common and well-studied in plants, polyploidy is rare...

Pervasive population genomic consequences of genome duplication in Arabidopsis arenosa (2019)
Journal Article

Ploidy-variable species allow direct inference of the effects of chromosome copy number on fundamental evolutionary processes. While an abundance of theoretical work suggests polyploidy should leave distinct population genomic signatures, empirical d...

FT modulates genome-wide DNA-binding of the bZIP transcription factor FD (2019)
Journal Article

© 2019, American Society of Plant Biologists. All rights reserved. The transition to flowering is a crucial step in the plant life cycle that is controlled by multiple endogenous and environmental cues, including hormones, sugars, temperature, and ph...

Fluctuating selection on migrant adaptive sodium transporter alleles in coastal Arabidopsis thaliana (2018)
Journal Article

Stressors such as soil salinity and dehydration are major constraints on plant growth, causing worldwide crop losses. Compounding these insults, increasing climate volatility requires adaptation to fluctuating conditions. Salinity stress responses ar...

The “Polyploid Hop”: shifting challenges and opportunities over the evolutionary lifespan of genome duplications (2018)
Journal Article

© 2018 Baduel, Bray, Vallejo-Marin, Kolář and Yant. The duplication of an entire genome is no small affair. Whole genome duplication (WGD) is a dramatic mutation with long-lasting effects, yet it occurs repeatedly in all eukaryotic kingdoms. Plants a...

Hybrids and horizontal transfer: introgression allows adaptive allele discovery (2017)
Journal Article

Borrowed alleles and convergence in serpentine adaptation (2016)
Journal Article

Serpentine barrens represent extreme hazards for plant colonists. These sites are characterized by high porosity leading to drought, lack of essential mineral nutrients, and phytotoxic levels of metals. Nevertheless, nature forged populations adapted...

Molecular basis for three-dimensional elaboration of the Aquilegia petal spur (2015)
Journal Article

By enforcing specific pollinator interactions, Aquilegia petal nectar spurs maintain reproductive isolation between species. Spur development is the result of three-dimensional elaboration from a comparatively two-dimensional primordium. Initiated by...
