Climate change is altering the availability of resources and the conditions that are crucial to
plant performance. One way plants will respond to these changes is through …

Plants provide unique opportunities to study the mechanistic basis and evolutionary
processes of adaptation to diverse environmental conditions. Complementary laboratory …

Understanding the genetic bases and modes of adaptation to current climatic conditions is
essential to accurately predict responses to future environmental change. We conducted a …

The year 2014 marked the 25th International Conference on Arabidopsis Research. In the
50 yr since the first International Conference on Arabidopsis Research, held in 1965 in …

Flowering time is a key life-history trait in the plant life cycle. Most studies to unravel the
genetics of flowering time in Arabidopsis thaliana have been performed under greenhouse …

One of the most remarkable biological insights in the past 30 years has been that many
genetic programs for complex traits, such as flower or limb development, are shared across …

▪ 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 …

Metabolomics approaches enable the parallel assessment of the levels of a broad range of
metabolites and have been documented to have great value in both phenotyping and …

A central challenge in evolutionary biology is to identify genes underlying ecologically
important traits and describe the fitness consequences of naturally occurring variation at …

Here we consider how extreme events, particularly climatic and biotic, affect the physiology,
development, ecology and evolution of organisms, focusing on plants. The marked effects …
