The Evolutionary Dynamics of Genetic Mutational Load Throughout Tomato Domestication History

open access: yesMolecular Ecology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Understanding the impact of domestication on deleterious mutations has fascinated evolutionary biologists and breeders alike. A ‘cost of domestication’ has been reported for some organisms through accumulation of gene disruptions or radical amino acid changes.

Defining the Enterococcus faecalis Fatty Acid Kinase System of Exogeneous Fatty Acid Utilization

open access: yesMolecular Microbiology, EarlyView.
The enteric bacterium Enterococcus faecalis incorporates fatty acids from the medium and elongates any short chains to lengths suitable for membrane lipids. We have delineated the pathway. ABSTRACT Phospholipid synthesis in Firmicute bacteria differs markedly from that of the paradigm Escherichia coli pathway in that acyl phosphates are a key ...

Local adaptation of both plant and pathogen: an arms‐race compromise in switchgrass rust

open access: yesNew Phytologist, EarlyView.
Summary In coevolving species, parasites locally adapt to host populations as hosts locally adapt to resist parasites. Parasites often outpace host local adaptation since they have rapid life cycles, but host diversity, the strength of selection, and external environmental influence can result in complex outcomes.

Identification of BAHD‐acyltransferase enzymes involved in ingenane diterpenoid biosynthesis

open access: yesNew Phytologist, EarlyView.
Summary The plant family Euphorbiaceae is an abundant source of structurally complex diterpenoids, many of which have reported anticancer, anti‐HIV, and anti‐inflammatory activities. Among these, ingenol‐3‐angelate (1a; tradename: Picato®), isolated from Euphorbia peplus, has potent antitumor activity.
