Unravelling the genetic makeup of hybrid meadow knapweed populations in North America
Hybridization is thought to be a primary trigger of plant invasions, due to short term hybrid vigour of early generations or increased evolutionary potential in later generations. Yet despite widespread appreciation of...

Recent range expansion in Australian hummock grasses
Large-scale environmental changes such as aridification have shaped and continue to influence the evolution and composition of biomes. As conditions change, organisms may persist in some parts of their ranges, become...
Single primer enrichment technology as a tool for massive genotyping
Davide Scaglione and colleagues have paper for anyone who needs to carry a genotyping experiment with cost-efficiency and reproducibility for population genetics and genome wide association studies.

A genetic linkage map of perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne) based on GBS
Genetic linkage maps remain very important tools for gene discovery in many plant species. Whilst several genetic maps exist for perennial ryegrass, it has been difficult to integrate data across studies because of a...
