Genetic variation in livestock is a critical area of research that underpins modern breeding practices and agricultural productivity. Differences in DNA sequences, including single nucleotide ...

Pollinator-mediated selection might lead to among-trait differences in the degree and pattern of floral integration and intra-flower variation. To examine the patterns of intra-flower variation in ...

Plant functional ecology requires the quantification of trait variation and its controls. Field measurements on 483 species at 48 sites across China were used to analyse variation in leaf traits, and ...

The genes of an organism play an important role in the development of characteristic traits. However, even the traits of genetically identical clones that grow up under the same environmental ...

Understanding how trees respond to drought and climatic stress increasingly calls for close collaboration between experts in ...

Crops increasingly need to thrive in a broader range of conditions, including drought, salinity, and heat. Traditional plant ...
