Admixture in Latin America: geographic structure, phenotypic diversity and self-perception of ancestry based on 7,342 individuals
(Public Library of Science, 2014)
The current genetic makeup of Latin America has been shaped by a history of extensive admixture between Africans, Europeans and Native Americans, a process taking place within the context of extensive geographic and social ...
Environmentally induced phenotypic plasticity and DNA methylation changes in a wild potato growing in two contrasting Andean experimental gardens
(Nature Publishing Group, 2021-01)
DNA methylation can be environmentally modulated and plays a role in phenotypic plasticity. To understand the role of environmentally induced epigenetic variation and its dynamics in natural populations and ecosystems, it ...
Assessing the efficiency of phenotyping early traits in a greenhouse automated platform for predicting drought tolerance of soybean in the field
(Frontiers Media S.A., 2018-05)
Conventional field phenotyping for drought tolerance, the most important factor limiting yield at a global scale, is labor-intensive and time-consuming. Automated greenhouse platforms can increase the precision and throughput ...
Contemporary climate influence on the variability patterns of Anadenanthera colubrina var. cebil, a key species in Seasonally Dry Tropical Forests
(Springer, 2021-05)
The distribution of many species has been shaped by climate changes, and their current phenotypic and genetic variability reflect microclimatically suitable habitats. We undertook our study to relate observed contemporary ...
Phenotypic diversity and its relationship to reproductive potential in changing social contexts in a lizard model
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2020-08)
Phenotype in lizards is related to reproductive function, and hence to reproductive output. Besides the intraspecific diversity in phenotypes, their temporal variation throughout the reproductive season in relation to the ...
Phenotypic Diversity of Triatoma infestans at the Microgeographic Level in the Gran Chaco of Argentina and the Andean Valleys of Bolivia
(Entomological Society of America, 2008-07)
Triatoma infestans (Klug) is the main vector of Trypanosoma cruzi, etiologic agent of Chagas disease. The phenotype of the species varies at different geographic scales. The objective of this study was to compare the ...
Phenotyping and QTL mapping for cold tolerance at the germination and seedling stages in Argentine temperate rice
(Springer, 2020-07)
In Argentina, the yield potential of rice (Oryza sativa L.) under suboptimal temperatures of temperate regions and during early sowing in tropical regions depends on its low-temperature germinability (LTG) and subsequent ...
Phenotypic plasticity of European larch radial growth and wood density along a-1,000 m elevational gradient
(Wiley, 2021-02)
Phenotypic plasticity is a key mechanism for sedentary long-living species to adjust to changing environment. Here, we use mature Larix decidua tree-ring variables collected along an elevational transect in the French Alps ...
Parallel shape divergence between ecotypes of the limpet Nacella concinna along the Antarctic Peninsula: a new model species for parallel evolution?
(Elsevier Gmbh, 2021-11)
Parallel phenotypic divergence is the independent differentiation between phenotypes of the same lineage or species occupying ecologically similar environments in different populations. We tested in the Antarctic limpet ...
TRPC6 regulates phenotypic switching of vascular smooth muscle cells through plasma membrane potential-dependent coupling with PTEN
(Federation of American Societies for Experimental Biology, 2019-09)
Vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) play critical roles in the stability and tonic regulation of vascular homeostasis. VSMCs can switch back and forth between highly proliferative synthetic and fully differentiated ...
