The Plant Resistance Genes database (PRGdb; http://prgdb.org ) has been redesigned with
a new user interface, new sections, new tools and new data for genetic improvement, …

Benthic diatoms are the main primary producers in shallow freshwater and coastal
environments, fulfilling important ecological functions such as nutrient cycling and sediment …

Diatoms, an evolutionarily successful group of microalgae, display high levels of intraspecific
genetic variability in natural populations. However, the contribution of various mechanisms …

Diatoms are a diverse group of mainly photosynthetic algae, responsible for 20% of
worldwide oxygen production, which can rapidly respond to favorable conditions and often …

In aquatic habitats, diatoms are frequently found in association with Proteobacteria, many
members of which employ cell-to-cell communication via N-acyl homoserine lactones (AHLs). …

Sexual reproduction is a fundamental phase in the life cycle of most diatoms. Despite its
role as a source of genetic variation, it is rarely reported in natural circumstances and its …

Coastal regions contribute an estimated 20% of annual gross primary production in the oceans,
despite occupying only 0.03% of their surface area. Diatoms frequently dominate coastal …

Leaf growth is a complex trait for which many similarities exist in different plant species,
suggesting functional conservation of the underlying pathways. However, a global view of …

Diatoms are unicellular algae with a fundamental role in global biogeochemical cycles as
major primary producers at the base of aquatic food webs. In recent years, chemical …

The properties of incident light play a crucial role in the mating process of diatoms, a group
of ecologically important microalgae. While species-specific requirements for light intensity …
