BdNRT2A and BdNRT3.2 are the major components of the High-Affinity nitrate Transport System in Brachypodium distachyon

This study identifies BdNRT2A and BdNRT3.2 as the key components of the high-affinity nitrate transport system in Brachypodium, essential for nitrate uptake under low nitrogen conditions.

Reconciling land sharing and sparing: a conceptual model for land use

This paper presents a conceptual model to reconcile land sharing and sparing strategies by unifying them under a single framework for biodiversity and food security.

Grapevine bacterial communities across the Central Valley of California

The paper examines bacterial communities in grapevines across California's Central Valley, finding compartment-specific dynamics and weak associations between above-ground and soil microbiomes.

Cooperation between physiological defenses and immune resistance produces asymptomatic carriage of a lethal bacterial pathogen

The paper shows physiological defenses and immune resistance work together to allow asymptomatic carriage of a lethal bacterial pathogen.

Grapevine scion gene expression is driven by rootstock and environment interaction

The paper investigates how rootstock genotype affects scion gene expression in grapevines under field conditions, finding that this influence is tissue- and time-dependent and interacts with environmental factors.

Increases in vein length compensate for leaf area lost to lobing in grapevine

The paper examines how increased vein length compensates for leaf area lost to lobing in grapevines, showing that more lobed leaves maintain similar area through longer veins and higher vein-to-blade ratios.

Root system influence on high dimensional leaf phenotypes over the grapevine growing season

The paper examines how rootstock genotype affects leaf phenotypes in grafted grapevines across a growing season, finding subtle but widespread rootstock influence across multiple phenotyping modalities.

Comparative population genomics in two sympatric species of Strophostyles (Fabaceae) with contrasting life histories

This study compares population genetics of two sympatric Strophostyles species with different life histories, finding no hybridization and contrasting genetic structure between annual and perennial species.

The role of genus and life span in predicting seed and vegetative trait variation and correlation in Lathyrus, Phaseolus, and Vicia (Fabaceae)

The study examines how genus and life span predict seed and vegetative trait variation and correlations in three legume genera, finding genus strongly predicts seed traits while life span predicts vegetative traits.

Grapevine microbiota reflect diversity among compartments and complex interactions within and among root and shoot systems

The paper examines how rootstock genotype and irrigation affect microbial communities in different grapevine compartments and their association with sour rot.

Comparative analysis of seed size, germination, and vegetative allocation in annual and herbaceous perennial crops and their wild relatives in Lupinus and Phaseolus (Fabaceae)

This study compares seed size, germination, and vegetative growth traits between annual and herbaceous perennial legumes and their wild relatives to understand how lifespan and cultivation affect these traits.

Comparative analysis of perennial and annual Phaseolus seed nutrient concentrations

This study compares nutrient concentrations in seeds of perennial and annual Phaseolus species, finding no significant differences in some nutrients but variability in others.

Rootstock effects on scion phenotypes in a ‘Chambourcin’ experimental vineyard

This study examines how rootstock affects scion leaf morphology, ion concentrations, and gene expression in Chambourcin grapevines under different irrigation conditions.
