▪ Abstract Currently, genetic variation is probably the most important basic resource for plant
biology. In addition to the variation artificially generated by mutants in model plants, naturally …

Plant R-genes involved in gene-for-gene interactions with pathogens are expected to
undergo coevolutionary arms races in which plant specificity and pathogen virulence …

Abstract Heat-shock protein 90 (Hsp90) chaperones the maturation of many regulatory
proteins and, in the fruitfly Drosophila melanogaster, buffers genetic variation in …

Life history theory seeks to explain the evolution of the major features of life cycles by
analyzing the ecological factors that shape age-specific schedules of growth, reproduction …

This completely revised, fourth edition of Introduction to Plant Population Biology continues
the approach taken by its highly successful predecessors. Ecological and genetic principles …

Living things are unimaginably complex, yet they have withstood a withering assault of
harmful influences over several billion years. These influences include cataclysmic changes …

Now updated for its second edition, Population Genetics is the classic, accessible
introduction to the concepts of population genetics. Combining traditional conceptual …

Many flowering plants are polyploid, but crosses between individuals of different ploidies
produce seeds that develop abnormally and usually abort. Often, seeds from interploidy …

The study of variability within species is important to all biologists who use genetic markers.
Since the discovery of molecular variability among normal individuals, data have been …

We review and analyze the available literature on the frequency and distribution of self-
incompatibility (SI) among angiosperms and find that SI is reported in more than 100 families …
