Arabidopsis trichomes are an excellent cell type to address many questions in plant biology including the control of cell shape, endoreplication, and cell expansion. Because trichomes comprise such a small percentage of the cells of a leaf, biochemical analyses of trichomes are limited. To overcome this limitation, we developed a method for removing trichomes from the leaf surface. Our method allows the isolation of intact trichomes for use in downstream applications such as cell wall analysis, immunolocalization of trichome proteins, analysis of DNA content, and proteomics. Also, this method will facilitate the isolation of trichomes from practically any plant species.

Characterizing physiological and anatomical changes that underlie rapid evolution following climatic perturbation can broaden our understanding of how climate change is affecting biodiversity. It can also provide evidence of cryptic adaptation despite stasis at higher levels of biological organization. Here, we compared evolutionary changes in populations of Mimulus cardinalis from historically different climates in the north and south of the species' range following an exceptional drought.

Common rust (CR), caused by , is a major foliar disease in maize that leads to quality deterioration and yield losses. To dissect the genetic architecture of CR resistance in maize, this study utilized the susceptible temperate inbred line Ye107 as the male parent crossed with three resistant tropical maize inbred lines (CML312, D39, and Y32) to generate 627 F recombinant inbred lines (RILs), with the aim of identifying maize disease-resistant loci and candidate genes for common rust. Phenotypic data showed good segregation between resistance and susceptibility, with varying degrees of resistance observed across different subpopulations.
