The Dilemma of Plants: to Grow or Defend
Physiological and ecological constraints play key roles in the evolution of plant growth patterns, especially in relation to defenses against herbivores. Phenotypic and life history theories are unified within the growth-differentiation balance (GDB) framework, forming an integrated system of theories explaining and predicting patterns of plant defense and competitive interactions in ecological...
متن کاملWhen more is less: Limited consideration
There is well-established evidence that decision makers consistently fail to consider all available options. Instead, they restrict attention to only a subset of alternatives and then undertake a more detailed analysis of this reduced set. This systematic lack of consideration of available options can lead to a “more is less” effect, where excess of options can be welfare-reducing for a decisio...
متن کاملTo grow or to shrink…
Aurora B puts chromosomes in their place mall molecule inhibitors of Aurora B activity, characterized by Hauf et al. (page 281) and Ditchfield et al. (page 267), reveal that the mammalian kinase and its budding yeast counterpart, Ipl1, have similar functions. Without Aurora B, mistakes in kinetochore–chromosome interactions go uncorrected. Early evidence of a function for the Aurora family in c...
متن کاملWhen Schreier Transversals Grow Wild
We introduce the rank-growth function rkH(i) of a subgroup H of a finitely generated free group F . rkH(i) is defined to be the rank of the subgroup of H generated by elements of length less than or equal to i (with respect to the generators of F ), and it equals the rank of the fundamental group of the subgraph of the cosets graph of H, which consists of the paths starting at 1 that are of len...
متن کاملTo grow or not to grow: a stressful decision for plants.
Progress in improving abiotic stress tolerance of crop plants using classic breeding and selection approaches has been slow. This has generally been blamed on the lack of reliable traits and phenotyping methods for stress tolerance. In crops, abiotic stress tolerance is most often measured in terms of yield-capacity under adverse weather conditions. "Yield" is a complex trait and is determined ...
