Recent research has shown that many chloroplast markers commonly used for the identification of species in land plants are not useful in the moss genus Campylopus. The only known suitable marker in Campylopus is the nuclear ribosomal ITS1-5.8S-ITS2 region. However, evolutionary patterns of this region …

Climate change is a major contributor to the range shifts of several organisms such as plant species. A range is the geographical area where a species can be found and it is possible for plant species to undergo a range shift while still being present in their original one. These plants are called range-expanders. …

Recent studies showed that in teb mutants (teb2 & teb5 (mutant allele 2 and 5 of the Teb gene)) no T-DNA integration was detectable, meaning that if there still is any T-DNA integration it will be in very low frequencies (Kregten et al., 2016). This suggests that the Teb gene is essentially involved …
