Fruit load modulates flowering-related gene expression
Previous research has demonstrated that fruit load acts as a strong inhibitor of flowering in many fruit-tree species, including Citrus. Muñoz-Fambuena et al. analyse the expression of flowering-related genes at the...

Rate heterogeneity of holoparasitic Balanophora
The substitution rates of chloroplast and mitochondria genes sometimes show tremendous variation in parasitic plants, but it is unclear if this is also true for nuclear protein-coding genes. Su and Hu study six protein...
