By modulating the intensity of balancing selection at the S-locus, dominance between self-incompatibility alleles shapes the genetic load linked to each allele, creating inbreeding depression in some S-locus homozygotes.
The 'low water' agar assay provides a reliable and practical high-throughput method for studying plant molecular signaling responses to drought stress.
An inoculation experiment shows phyllosphere microbiome plays an important role in invader Ageratina adenophora population establishment by killing seedlings at very early growth stage.
