Water limitation is an important determinant of the distribution, abundance and diversity of plant species. Yet, little is known about how the response to limiting water supply changes among closely related plant...

What is photoperiodically regulated in Arabidopsis lyrata?
The photoperiod is the period of time that a plant receives light each day. The photoperiod matters to a plant as it contains information about the progress of seasons. Plants use the changing photoperiod as a cue for...
Genotypic differentiation in a heterogeneous dune landscape in Arabidopsis lyrata
The role of fine-scale habitat heterogeneity on within-population genetic divergence is studied in North American Arabidopsis lyrata (Brassicaceae) inhabiting a sand dune landscape. Wos and Willi relate site-of-origin...
Increased heterosis in selfing populations of a perennial forb
Quantifying the effects of population bottlenecks and inbreeding on genetic variation underlying fitness in natural populations is central to understanding the potential limits to natural selection. One approach is to...

In vivo imaging of the S-locus receptor kinase in arabidopsis
Results show that full-length SRKb is localized primarily at the plasma membrane and the secreted eSRKb product is not required for self-incompatibility.

Flowering and morphology responses to high latitudes
Timing of flowering is an adaptive trait regulated by environmental cues and has been intensively studied in annual plants, but in perennials it is currently not well characterized. Quilot-Turion et al. apply cold...
Genetic structuring in a large population of Arabidopsis
The perennial Arabidopsis lyrata is able to propagate both sexually and asexually, and this is expected to influence spatial genetic structure in the species. A fine-scale molecular study by Lundemo et al. (pp. 243–254)...
