Application of the thermal death time model in predicting thermal damage accumulation in plants

This study applies the thermal death time model to plants, showing additive thermal damage accumulation and validating its use for predicting thermal stress impacts across species.

Measuring plant diversity in a two-stage sampling design by Bayesian updated relative abundances

The paper introduces a Bayesian method to calculate local Hill diversity indices by updating relative abundances using prior distributions from similar habitats, applied to Danish Nardus grasslands.

Identity and provenance of neighbors, genotype-specific traits and abiotic stress affect intraspecific interactions in the annual legume Medicago truncatula

The paper investigates how genotype-specific traits, abiotic stress, and neighbor identity influence intraspecific interactions in Medicago truncatula, finding that non-kin neighbors promote growth more than kin under low stress.

From genotype to phenotype: maintenance of a chemical polymorphism in the context of high geneflow.

The paper investigates how chemical polymorphism is maintained in wild thyme despite high gene flow, showing that ecotype identity is tightly genetically determined, while chemotype identity involves more loci and greater genotypic redundancy.

Intraspecific interactions in the annual legume Medicago minima are shaped by both genetic variation for competitive ability and reduced competition among kin.

The paper tests how genetic variation and kinship influence intraspecific competition in Medicago minima, finding both competitive ability and kin avoidance affect plant growth.
