Learning from Co-expression Networks: Possibilities and Challenges
TL;DR: This study analyzes integrative genomics strategies used in recent studies that successfully identified candidate genes taking advantage of gene co-expression networks and discusses promising bioinformatics approaches that predict networks for specific purposes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Modulation of Phytohormone Signaling: A Primary Function of Flavonoids in Plant–Environment Interactions
TL;DR: It is surmised that the regulation of phytohormone signaling might have represented a primary function served by flavonols for the conquest of land by plants and it is still of major significance for the successful acclimation of modern terrestrial plants to a severe excess of radiant energy.
Journal ArticleDOI
Redundancy, Feedback, and Robustness in the Arabidopsis thaliana BZR/BEH Gene Family.
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that even among closely related transcription factors, trait robustness can arise through the activity of a single gene family member, challenging common assumptions about the molecular underpinnings of robustness.
Journal ArticleDOI
It’s not magic – Hsp90 and its effects on genetic and epigenetic variation
TL;DR: The contributions of the molecular chaperone Hsp90, a protein that facilitates the folding of many key regulators of growth and development, to canalization of phenotype - and de-canalization in times of stress - are reviewed, drawing on studies in eukaryotes as diverse as baker's yeast, mouse ear cress, and blind Mexican cavefish.

Plastic Transcriptomes Stabilize Immunity to Pathogen Diversity: The Jasmonic Acid and Salicylic Acid Networks within the Arabidopsis/Botrytis Pathosystem
Wei Zhang,Wei Zhang,Jason A. Corwin,Daniel Copeland,Julie Feusier,Robert Eshbaugh,Fang Chen,Susanna Atwell,Daniel J. Kliebenstein,Daniel J. Kliebenstein +9 more
TL;DR: Test of the Arabidopsis thaliana-Botrytis cinerea pathosystem showed that plants utilize major defense hormone pathways to buffer disease resistance, but not the metabolic or transcriptional responses to genetic variation within a pathogen.

Error and attack tolerance of complex networks
TL;DR: It is found that scale-free networks, which include the World-Wide Web, the Internet, social networks and cells, display an unexpected degree of robustness, the ability of their nodes to communicate being unaffected even by unrealistically high failure rates.

Butterflies and plants: a study in coevolution
Paul R. Ehrlich,Peter H. Raven +1 more
TL;DR: The relationship between butterflies and their food plants is investigated, the examination of patterns of interaction between two major groups of organisms with a close and evident ecological relationship, such as plants and herbivores.
Journal ArticleDOI
Canalization of development and the inheritance of acquired characters
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors suggest that recent views on the nature of the developmental process make it easier to understand how the genotypes of evolving organisms can respond to the environment in a more co-ordinated fashion.

Hsp90 as a capacitor for morphological evolution
TL;DR: It is reported that when Drosophila Hsp90 is mutant or pharmacologically impaired, phenotypic variation affecting nearly any adult structure is produced, with specific variants depending on the genetic background and occurring both in laboratory strains and in wild populations.
