Latex occurs in 10% of plant families, has evolved independently many times, and is the
most effective defense of milkweeds against its chewing herbivores. Here we report on new …

Herbivory can induce both general and specific responses in plants that modify direct and
indirect defence against subsequent herbivory. The type of induction (local versus systemic …

Plant latex is an endogenous fluid secreted from highly specialized laticifer cells and has
been suggested to act as a plant defense system. The chemical profile of the latex of …

Substantial research has addressed adaptation of nonnative biota to novel environments,
yet surprisingly little work has integrated population genetic structure and the mechanisms …

To understand the biological effects of climate change, it is essential to take into account
species' evolutionary responses to their changing environments. Ongoing climate change is …

Rapid adaptation can aid invasive populations in their competitive success. Resource
allocation trade‐off hypotheses predict higher resource availability or the lack of natural …

Local adaptation is a common feature of many species, yet its genetic and molecular basis is
still poorly understood. Research on the genetic basis of adaptation increasingly focuses on …

En el presente trabajo se estudió el efecto del tratamiento ácido sobre las características
morfológicas, fisicoquímicas y estructurales de almidones de diferente fuente (papa, maíz y …
