The abundance of pollen coat small signaling proteins shows limited convergence between independent selfing transitions in Arabidopsis and Capsella In plants, a key example of convergence is the repeated evolution of floral traits associated with the transition from outcrossing to self-fertilization, often resulting in the ‘selfing syndrome’ (e.....

The fruit of a team gathering complementary and unique skills of different people, I love when this happens! And happy about the result :) congrats @omeriltas.bsky.social , @kovacik.bsky.social , L. Salomon, S. Hafidh, M. Certner, P. Talacko & K. Harant!

Origine(s) de la Covid-19 : “Quelles sont leurs motivations?” Origine(s) de la Covid-19 : “Quelles sont leurs motivations?” Florence Débarre démonte les hypothèses défendues par les auteurs du film "Covid, le secret des origines", posant la question du soutien qu'ils semblent apporter aux thèses conspirationnistes.

Le documentaire complotiste diffusé hier soir par @publicsenat.fr sur l'origine de la pandémie de Covid n'est pas nouveau : il était sorti l'an dernier sur France5.

Two models for the nature of pleiotropy in adaptation. Left: Schematic of the environmental structure in this study. Environments can be mapped onto a multidimensional environment space characterized by chemical and physical compositions. The large green circle represents an environment where adaptive mutants evolved, and the large pink circle is a distant environment. Around each base, a set of identical environmental perturbations (arrows) is applied, generating clusters of similar environments around distinct base environments. Top right: Schematic of fitnotype map for adaptive mutants near their home base environment. By measuring fitness in each of the green environments, one can infer how many fitnotypes matter for this set of mutants in their home environment. Here, only four of the possible 8 fitnotypes matter. Bottom right: When the mutants are moved to the distant base environment, and their fitness is measured in all pink environments (base and perturbations), there are two possibilities. Either more fitnotypes become important and the space appears higher-dimensional (left, pleiotropic expansion), or the set of fitnotypes that matters remains low-dimensional, but shifts (right, pleiotropic shift).

Predicting the effect of a #mutation on #fitness is hard. @oliviamghosh.bsky.social @petrovadmitri.bsky.social &co use fitness effects of adaptive yeast mutants to show that underlying genotype-phenotype-fitness maps are low-dimensional but context-dependent @plosbiology.org 🧪 plos.io/4dLy2Ez

I am happy to announce the launch of a new Arabidopsis genomics resource! Check out arabidopsislyrata.org Now you can easily look at the natural genetic variation across the entire species range of A. lyrata and A. arenosa.

Up to what degree of interspecific genetic distance is it possible to form viable and fertile hybrids? A strange species of paramecium breaks the record:
