This study compares drought response and recovery in wild, feral, and domesticated Brassica rapa, finding that some wild accessions show high biomass retention and recovery, suggesting their value for breeding drought-resistant crops.

This study reviews 52 resurrection studies to assess plant evolutionary responses to global change, finding rapid evolution in annual plants and reduced plasticity in some traits.

This study investigates how environmental stress affects developmental stability and canalization in rice, finding that drought reduces canalization and identifies specific genes involved.

This study observes rapid genetic adaptation and population dynamics in Arabidopsis thaliana across diverse climates over 5 years, showing predictable adaptation trends linked to survival and extinction risks.

The paper examines gene expression variation in rice under salinity stress, finding trans-eQTLs dominate and cis-trans reinforcement is more common than compensation.
