Long-term introgression of crop genes into wild sunflower populations
TL;DR: DNA pooling is not useful for accurate location of the QTL but rather to pick up genome regions containing QTLs of at least moderate effect, which means accuracy of QTL location is not increased with a dense number of markers, as opposed to individual typing.
Karyotypic evolution of the common and silverleaf sunflower genomes.
Adam Heesacker,Eleni Bachlava,Robert L. Brunick,John M. Burke,Loren H. Rieseberg,Steven J. Knapp +5 more
TL;DR: Silverleaf sunflower has been an important source of favorable alleles for broadening genetic diversity and enhancing agriculturally important traits in common sunflower, and provides an excellent model for understanding how apparently maladaptive chromosomal rearrangements became established in this genus.
Evolution of invasiveness by genetic accommodation.
Dan G. Bock,Dan G. Bock,Michael B. Kantar,Michael B. Kantar,Celine Caseys,Celine Caseys,Remi Matthey-Doret,Loren H. Rieseberg +7 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that under the non-drought conditions typically experienced by this plant in its introduced range, invasive spread is mediated by hybrid vigour and/or two major additive-effect loci, and that these mechanisms are complementary.
What can patterns of differentiation across plant genomes tell us about adaptation and speciation
Jared L. Strasburg,Natasha A. Sherman,Kevin M. Wright,Leonie C. Moyle,John H. Willis,Loren H. Rieseberg,Loren H. Rieseberg +6 more
TL;DR: It is found that genomic regions of high divergence generally appear quite small in comparisons of both closely and more distantly related populations, and for the most part, these differentiated regions are spread throughout the genome rather than strongly clustered.
Patterns of domestication in the Ethiopian oil-seed crop noug (Guizotia abyssinica)
Hannes Dempewolf,Misteru Tesfaye,Abel Teshome,Anne D. Bjorkman,Rose L. Andrew,Moira Scascitelli,Scott Black,Endashaw Bekele,Johannes M.M. Engels,Quentin C. B. Cronk,Loren H. Rieseberg,Loren H. Rieseberg +11 more
TL;DR: Evidence of local adaptation of noug cultivars to different precipitation regimes is revealed, as well as high levels of phenotypic plasticity, which may permit reasonable yields under diverse environmental conditions.
