Molecular mechanisms of selfish elements and strategies
Certain genes, chromosomes, organelles, or entire sets of chromosomes can bias their transmission to the next generation, propagating themselves at the expense of the rest of the genome. Referred to …

A La Carte Seed Harvesting: Messor barbarus Ants Select Durum Wheat Genotypes
Our study shows that the harvester ant Messor barbarus exhibits genotype-specific preferences for durum wheat, linked to a major QTL on chromosome 2A. Ant predation is also influenced by spike size, ...

Rapid establishment of species barriers in plants compared with that in animals
Speciation, the process by which new reproductively isolated species emerge from ancestral populations, results from the gradual accumulation of barriers to gene flow within genomes. To date, the noti...

We found that mixing different wheat varieties can decrease belowground competition at early growth stages, especially under resource limited conditions.
