Weaker selection on genes with treatment-specific expression consistent with a limit on plasticity evolution in Arabidopsis thaliana

The paper investigates the relationship between gene expression specificity and selection strength in Arabidopsis thaliana using large-scale RNA-sequencing data, finding weaker selection on genes with treatment-specific expression.

Seasonal models reveal niche changes in Capsella bursa-pastoris

This study uses seasonal ecological niche models to detect changes in the seasonal niche of Capsella bursa-pastoris after long-distance dispersal, finding reduced transferability of full-year models and evidence of niche shift in summer occurrence.

Adaptive and maladaptive expression plasticity underlying herbicide resistance in an agricultural weed.

The paper examines gene expression plasticity and evolution in herbicide-resistant morning glories, finding that plastic responses are often adaptive and selection increases plasticity.

Molecular Parallelism Underlies Convergent Highland Adaptation of Maize Landraces

This study identifies molecular parallelism in highland maize landraces, showing convergent adaptation through shared SNPs, genes, and pathways related to flowering time.
