Abundance, isolation, and characterization of halotolerant microbes from common oligosaline soils

Howell, S.P.; Kilmer, Brian R.; Porazka, T.; Schneegurt, Mark A. (Elsevier, 2022-12-01)

Halotolerant microbes that grow at high NaCl concentrations were studied in common soils with low salinity. The abundance of microbes in common oligosaline (<1.0% salinity) soils was measured by most probable number analyses, ...
Adaptation to warmer climates by parallel functional evolution of CBF genes in Arabidopsis thaliana

Monroe, J. Grey; McGovern, Cullen; Lasky, Jesse R.; Grogan, Kelsi; Beck, James B.; McKay, John K. (John Wiley & Sons, Inc., 2016-08)

The evolutionary processes and genetics underlying local adaptation at a specieswide level are largely unknown. Recent work has indicated that a frameshift mutation in a member of a family of transcription factors, C-repeat ...
