Effects of cold stress on reproductive biology and epigenetic profiles of the alpine plant Ranunculus kuepferi (Ranunculaceae)
(2022-01-17)Alpine habitats are shaped by harsh abiotic conditions and cold climates. Plant life in such habitats is challenging, as environmental influence can alter the conditions for development and reproduction. More specifically, ... -
Untying Gordian knots: The evolution and biogeography of the large European apomictic polyploid Ranunculus auricomus plant complex
(2021-10-19)Polyploidy, the presence of two or more full genomic complements, repeatedly occurs across the tree of life. In plants, not only the economic but particularly the evolutionary importance is overwhelming. Polyploidization ... -
Ploidy-dependent effect of prolonged photoperiod on mode of reproduction and photosynthesis in the Ranunculus auricomus complex (Ranunculaceae)
(2021-07-23)Polyploidy, whole-genome duplication, enhances stress-tolerance to drastic environmental compared to their diploid progenitor by enabling more extensive adaptation as advantages of gene and genome duplication. Polyploidy ... -
Evolution of Melicope J.R.Forst & G.Forst (Rutaceae), the largest adaptive radiation of woody plants on the Hawaiian Islands.
(2020-11-27)Adaptive radiation describes the divergence of an ancestral taxon into multiple, phenotypically diverse species, adapted to a range of ecological niches by means of natural selection. The process is recognized as a fundamental ... -
Reproductive strategies of alpine apomictic plants under different ecological conditions
(2019-06-06)The origin of apomixis in natural populations is still not well understood. Apomictic plants tend to expand their distribution range more to higher latitudes and altitudes compared to their sexual progenitors, a phenomenon ...
