Dense encoding of developmental regulatory information may constrain evolvability

The paper investigates the evolutionary potential of regulatory changes in developmental enhancers by analyzing mutations in Drosophila melanogaster, finding that most mutations affect gene expression and suggest dense regulatory information that may constrain evolvability.

Root morphology and exudate availability is shaped by particle size and chemistry in Brachypodium distachyon

This study shows root morphology is affected by substrate size, but exudation is not, and exudate availability depends on substrate chemistry.
