Genes Involved in the Evolution of Herbivory by a Leaf-Mining, Drosophilid Fly [PDF]

, 2014
Herbivorous insects are among the most successful radiations of life. However, we know little about the processes underpinning the evolution of herbivory.

Ontogenetic origins of floral bilateral symmetry in Moringaceae (Brassicales) [PDF]

American Journal of Botany, 2003
Floral morphology of the 13 species of Moringa ranges from actinomorphic flowers with little hypanthium to highly zygomorphic flowers with well‐developed hypanthia. Scanning electron and light microscopy were used to identify ontogenetic differences among two actinomorphic and eight zygomorphic species.

Consistent role of Quaternary climate change in shaping current plant functional diversity patterns across European plant orders [PDF]

, 2017
Current and historical environmental conditions are known to determine jointly contemporary species distributions and richness patterns. However, whether historical dynamics in species distributions and richness translate to functional diversity patterns

Interspecific differences in the larval performance of Pieris butterflies (Lepidoptera: Pieridae) are associated with differences in the glucosinolate profiles of host plants

, 2019
The tremendous diversity of plants and herbivores has arisen from a coevolutionary relationship characterized by plant defense and herbivore counter adaptation. Pierid butterfly species feed on Brassicales plants that produce glucosinolates as a chemical

Decoding first complete chloroplast genome of toothbrush tree (Salvadora persica L.): insight into genome evolution, sequence divergence and phylogenetic relationship within Brassicales

BMC Genomics, 2021
Salvadora persica L. (Toothbrush tree – Miswak; family-Salvadoraceae) grows in the arid-land ecosystem and possesses economic and medicinal importance. The species, genus and the family have no genomic datasets available specifically on chloroplast (cp ...

Methylation-Sensitive Expression of a DNA Demethylase Gene Serves As an Epigenetic Rheostat [PDF]

, 2014
Genomes must balance active suppression of transposable elements (TEs) with the need to maintain gene expression. In Arabidopsis, euchromatic TEs are targeted by RNA-directed DNA methylation (RdDM).

Variation in the angiosperm ionome [PDF]

, 2018
The ionome is defined as the elemental composition of a subcellular structure, cell, tissue, organ or organism. The subset of the ionome comprising mineral nutrients is termed the functional ionome. A ‘standard functional ionome’ of leaves of an ‘average’

Molecular framework underlying floral bilateral symmetry and nectar spur development in Tropaeolum, an atypical member of the Brassicales.

American-Eurasian journal of botany, 2021
PREMISE Floral spurs are key innovations associated with elaborate pollination mechanisms that have evolved independently several times across angiosperms.

An evolutionarily young defense metabolite influences the root growth of plants via the ancient TOR signaling pathway. [PDF]

, 2017
To optimize fitness a plant should monitor its metabolism to appropriately control growth and defense. Primary metabolism can be measured by the universally conserved TOR (Target of Rapamycin) pathway to balance growth and development with the available ...

INDEPENDENT ORIGINATION OF FLORAL ZYGOMORPHY, A PREDICTED ADAPTIVE RESPONSE TO POLLINATORS: DEVELOPMENTAL AND GENETIC MECHANISMS [PDF]

, 2016
Observations of floral development indicate that floral organ initiation in pentapetalous flowers more commonly results in a medially positioned abaxial petal (MAB) than in a medially positioned adaxial petal (MAD), where the medial plane is defined by ...
