Biology is designed for multi-semester biology courses for science majors. It is grounded on an evolutionary basis and includes exciting features that highlight careers in the biological sciences and everyday applications of the concepts at hand. To meet the needs of today’s instructors and students, some content has been strategically condensed while maintaining the overall scope and coverage of traditional texts for this course. Instructors can customize the book, adapting it to the approach that works best in their classroom. Biology also includes an innovative art program that incorporates critical thinking and clicker questions to help students understand—and apply—key concepts.

How evolution of host plants affects their microbiome composition

0.0 stars

This resource is a video abstract of a research paper created by Research Square on behalf of its authors. It provides a synopsis that's easy to understand, and can be used to introduce the topics it covers to students, researchers, and the general public. The video's transcript is also provided in full, with a portion provided below for preview:

"Plants are intimately connected to the microbiomes they host. These microbial communities provide plants with nutrients. and protection from environmental stress. While scientists know that plant-derived factors shape the composition of microbiomes. it’s unclear whether host evolution also plays a role. To find out, researchers recently investigated seeds of the genus Oryza, the common rice plant. They examined the effects of speciation and domestication of rice on seed microbiomes. and found that speciation gave rise to distinct communities of bacteria and fungi in seeds. Similarly, domestication tended to produce variations in the composition of fungal communities while conserving bacterial communities. These findings indicate that while evolutionary processes can affect microbiome composition in random fashion. the environmental changes that accompany domestication contribute to the assembly of microbiomes in deterministic ways..."

The rest of the transcript, along with a link to the research itself, is available on the resource itself.

Rating
0.0 stars

This course presents the principles of evolution, ecology, and behavior for students beginning their study of biology and of the environment. It discusses major ideas and results in a manner accessible to all Yale College undergraduates. Recent advances have energized these fields with results that have implications well beyond their boundaries: ideas, mechanisms, and processes that should form part of the toolkit of all biologists and educated citizens.
