Journal ArticleDOI
Oak genotype and phenolic compounds differently affect the performance of two insect herbivores with contrasting diet breadth.
Thomas Damestoy,Benjamin Brachi,Xoaquín Moreira,Hervé Jactel,Christophe Plomion,Bastien Castagneyrol +5 more
TL;DR: It is found that oak genotype and phenolic compounds partly and independently contribute to variability in herbivore performance, pointing to the existence of genetically determined resistance traits in oaks whose effects differ between herbivores and motivate further research on mechanisms governing oak-herbivore interactions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Phylogeography of a widely distributed species reveals a cryptic assemblage of distinct genetic lineages needing separate conservation strategies
Fabienne Van Rossum,Hélène Martin,Solenn Le Cadre,Benjamin Brachi,Maarten J. M. Christenhusz,Pascal Touzet +5 more
TL;DR: The potential glacial refugia, postglacial (re)colonization routes, contact zones and ESUs in the widespread but locally rare Silene nutans are identified to propose appropriate conservation strategies related to migration history-related genetic structure.
Journal ArticleDOI
Genome-wide association mapping of flowering time in Arabidopsis thaliana in nature: genetics for underlying components and reaction norms across two successive years
TL;DR: Genome-wide association mapping indicates that FT is an integrative trait at the genetic level, with distinct genetics for BT and INT, and the florigen TSF appears to be the main integrator of environmental and internal signals in ecologically realistic conditions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Assessing the potential to harness the microbiome through plant genetics.
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigate the impact of host effects on microbial communities and find that the nature and strength of these interactions differs between fungal and bacterial communities, or among different compartments of the plant.
Journal ArticleDOI
The genetics of exapted resistance to two exotic pathogens in pedunculate oak.
Jérôme Bartholomé,Jérôme Bartholomé,Benjamin Brachi,Benoit Marçais,Amira Mougou‐Hamdane,Amira Mougou‐Hamdane,Catherine Bodénès,Christophe Plomion,Cécile Robin,Marie-Laure Desprez-Loustau +9 more
TL;DR: Findings provide evidence that exapted resistance to E. alphitoides and P. cinnamomi is present in Q. robur and suggest that the underlying molecular mechanisms involve genes encoding proteins with extracellular signaling functions.
