One Core to Root them All: A Core Bacterial Community in Closely Related but Geographically Distant Mammillaria Species from Contrasting Environments

Abstract Understanding the core microbiome has potential applications on biomonitoring and conservation. We explore whether closely related xerophytes from the M ammillaria h aageana s pecies c omplex (MHSC), a recently diverged group (ca. 2 mya) that occupy geographically distan...

Partial Reproducibility and Pleiotropic Epigenetic QTLs in Arabidopsis Recombinant Inbred Lines

Unlike conventional genetic polymorphisms, many induced epigenetic polymorphisms can be reset across generations, raising uncertainty about how consistently the same epigenetic loci and associated phenotypic effects can be recovered among independent studies. To address this prob...
