Evolution of gene expression across brain regions in behaviourally divergent deer mice
Abstract The evolution of innate behaviours is ultimately due to genetic variation likely acting in the nervous system. Gene regulation may be particularly important because it can evolve in a modular brain‐region specific fashion through the concerted action of cis‐ and trans‐regulatory changes.

Abstract Colour signals play pivotal roles in different communication systems, and the evolution of these characters has been associated with behavioural ecology, integumentary production processes and perceptual mechanisms of the species involved. Here, we present the first insight into the molecular and histological basis of skin colour polymorphism ...

ABSTRACT Adaptation to the environment plays an essential role in yeast evolution as a consequence of selective pressures. Lachancea thermotolerans, a yeast related to fermentation and one of the current trends in wine technology research, has undergone an anthropisation process, leading to a notable genomic and phenomic differentiation.

Pleomorphic adenoma and carcinoma ex‐pleomorphic adenoma tumorigenesis: A proteomic analysis
Abstract Objectives To conduct a comprehensive proteomic analysis of normal salivary gland tissue, pleomorphic adenoma (PA), and carcinoma ex‐pleomorphic adenoma (CXPA), and validate the proteomic findings using immunohistochemistry. Methods Six normal salivary gland tissues, seven PA and seven CXPA samples underwent laser microdissection followed by ...

Summary Lignin is a crucial component of the cell wall, providing mechanical support and protection against biotic and abiotic stresses. However, little is known about wheat lignin‐related mutants and their roles in pathogen defence. Here, we identified an ethyl methanesulfonate (EMS)‐derived Aegilops tauschii mutant named brown glume and internode 1 ...

ABSTRACT Water deficit negatively impacts crop productivity and quality. Plants face these challenges by adjusting biological processes and molecular functions according to the intensity and duration of the stress. The cultivated potato (Solanum tuberosum) is considered sensitive to water deficit, thus breeding efforts are needed to enhance its ...

ABSTRACT To identify novel genes engaged in plant epidermal development, we characterized the phenotypic variability of rosette leaf epidermis of 310 sequenced Arabidopsis thaliana accessions, focusing on trichome shape and distribution, compositional characteristics of the trichome cell wall, and histologically detectable metal ion distribution.

ABSTRACT Communication between the diverse compartments of plant cells relies on an intricate network of molecular interactions that orchestrate organellar development and adaptation to environmental conditions. Plastid‐to‐nucleus signalling pathways play a key role in relaying information from developing, mature, and damaged or disintegrating ...

Tolerance to Phosphorus Deficiency Improves Seed Phytic Acid‐to‐Iron Molar Ratios in Common Bean
ABSTRACT Although significant advances have been achieved in the biofortification of common beans to overcome deficiencies in Zinc (Zn) and iron (Fe), the mechanisms involved remain poorly understood. We thus explored the relationships between phosphorus nutrition and Zn and Fe accumulation in four bean genotypes (Edar, Nizok, Colorado and Chimbolos ...

Biosynthesis of the fatty acid components of the Apis mellifera mandibular gland pheromones takes place in a stepwise manner. Differential gene expression in the mandibular gland tissue of workers from two subspecies of African honey bees with differing reproductive potentials and at two age groups was investigated.
