Genetic architecture of the S-locus supergene revealed in a tetraploid distylous species

|
By Spencer Barrett, Tieyao Tu, Zhongtao Zhao, Zhonglai Luo
| BioRxiv
Abstract Heterostyly is a polymorphic floral adaptation controlled by supergenes and maintained in populations by disassortative mating. The molecular basis of distyly has been investigated in several unrelated families. Previous studies have been limited to diploid species and have not included Rubiaceae, which has the highest number of heterostylous species.

| Texas Medical Center
UNLABELLED: Donation after circulatory death (DCD) allografts might represent one of the largest untapped sources of liver allografts. Our aim was to identify independent recipient risk factors that predict mortality in DCD allograft recipients to preselect optimal candidates for successful transplantation.

Latitudinal clines in the phenology of floral display associated with adaptive evolution during a biological invasion

|
By Mia Akbar, Spencer Barrett, Robert I Colautti, Dale Moskoff
| BioRxiv
Abstract Premise: Flowering phenology strongly influences reproductive success in plants. Days to first flower is easy to quantify and widely used to characterize phenology, but reproductive fitness depends on the full schedule of flower production over time. Methods: We examined floral display traits associated with rapid adaptive evolution and range expansion among thirteen populations of Lythrum salicaria, sampled along a 10-degree latitudinal gradient in eastern North America.
