No evidence for extrafloral nectaries in Erythranthe angulosa

Sylvie A. Martin-Eberhardt, Paige Smith, Madison L. Plunkert

The paper investigates axillary swellings in Erythranthe angulosa and finds no evidence they function as extrafloral nectaries, but identifies morphological variation in the species.

Shared QTLs underlie loss of a conserved trait in replicate mapping populations of Arabidopsis thaliana

Madison L. Plunkert, Ousseini Issaka Salia, Esther Woolcock, Samuel Perez, Jeffrey K. Conner

The paper identifies shared QTLs for stamen number, ovule number, and flowering time in Arabidopsis thaliana RILs, showing some QTLs are consistent across crosses while others are unique.
