Interactions of Plants with Bacteria and Fungi: Molecular and Epigenetic Plasticity of the Host
In both natural and agricultural ecosystems, plants are constantly challenged by microbes that can have a beneficial, neutral or detrimental impact on plant growth, health and productivity with ...
Variation in Root-Related Traits Is Associated With Water Uptake in Lagenaria siceraria Genotypes Under Water-Deficit Conditions
In plants, the plasticity of the root system architecture (RSA) is considered to be a key trait driving the modification of the growth and structure of roots in response to water deficits. The purpose ...
Why Are Life Histories So Variable?
Phenotypic plasticity can include gradual change in a trait or dramatic and discrete change from time to time. As an example of dramatic change, plants often flower according to a mechanism of ...
Synaptic plasticity and addiction
Drugs of abuse can hijack or impair specific synaptic plasticity mechanisms in the mesolimbic dopamine system, which is central to reward processing in the brain. Drugs of abuse or acute stress ...
RNA modifications in mitochondria promote invasive spread of cancer
Mitochondria are the power plants of cells, and they contain their own genetic material and RNA molecules. Scientists from the German Cancer Research Center (Deutsches Krebsforschungszentrum, DKFZ) ...
Tradeoffs between phenotypic plasticity and local adaptation influence the ecophysiology of the moss, Sphagnum magellanicum...
Bryophytes are a diverse plant group and are functionally different from vascular ... mediated changes in shoot and physiological traits are due to phenotypic plasticity or local adaptation. Size, ...

Allison Miller, Ph.D.
We generate genetic data and patterns of gene expression, and measure a range of plant traits. Our goals are to advance basic understanding of evolution and plasticity in perennial plants, and to ...
A discordance of seasonally covarying cues uncovers misregulated phenotypes in the heterophyllous pitcher plant Cephalotus follicularis
To elucidate the combinatorial effects of environmental factors, we studied the leaf shape plasticity of the carnivorous pitcher plant Cephalotus follicularis. Clonally propagated plants were ...
NCERT Exemplar Class 11 Biology Chapter 15 Plant Growth and Development
Ans: (d) Growth can be measured in various ways. Increase in cell number, increase in cell size and increase in length and weight are used as parameters to measure growth. Ans: (b) The term ...
