Proteomic profile analysis of plasma and aqueous humor from glaucoma and non-glaucomatous patients

This study compares proteomic profiles of aqueous humor and plasma between glaucoma and non-glaucomatous patients, identifying differentially abundant proteins linked to vascular integrity, inflammation, and neurodegeneration.

Can changes in ploidy drive the evolution to allogamy in a selfing species complex?

The paper investigates how ploidy levels affect mating strategies in a selfing plant species complex, finding that higher ploidies show reduced inbreeding depression and traits associated with outcrossing.

Ploidy effects on the relationship between floral phenotype, reproductive investment and fitness exhibited by an autogamous species complex

This study examines how ploidy levels affect floral phenotype, reproductive investment, and fitness in a selfing plant species complex.

The genomic basis of the plant island syndrome in Darwin's giant daisies

This study characterizes the genomic basis of the plant island syndrome in Darwin's giant daisies by analyzing the genome of Scalesia atractyloides, identifying subgenomes, polyploidization events, and genes under selection.

Hybridization and introgression are prevalent in Southern European Erysimum (Brassicaceae) species

This study investigates hybridization and introgression in Southern European Erysimum species, finding widespread hybridization and polyploidization as key drivers of their evolution.

The scaling of genome size and cell size limits maximum rates of photosynthesis with implications for ecological strategies

The paper links genome size to cell size and photosynthesis rates in plants, showing genome size predicts metabolic capacity and ecological strategies.
