Allium genetic resources with particular reference to onion [PDF]

, 2008
As in many other crop species, also in Allium crops genetic erosion is taking place. In this mini review the current global state of the art is presented on Allium ex situ genetic resources and more in particular on onion genetic resources.

Organ‐specific redox imbalances in spinal muscular atrophy mice are partially rescued by SMN antisense oligonucleotides

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
We identified a systemic, progressive loss of protein S‐glutathionylation—detected by nonreducing western blotting—alongside dysregulation of glutathione‐cycle enzymes in both neuronal and peripheral tissues of Taiwanese SMA mice. These alterations were partially rescued by SMN antisense oligonucleotide therapy, revealing persistent redox imbalance as ...

Unprecedented variation pattern of plastid genomes and the potential role in adaptive evolution in Poales

BMC Biology
Background The plastid is the photosynthetic organelle in plant cell, and the plastid genomes (plastomes) are generally conserved in evolution. As one of the most economically and ecologically important order of angiosperms, Poales was previously ...

Positive selection and relaxed purifying selection contribute to rapid evolution of male-biased genes in a dioecious flowering plant

eLife
Sex-biased genes offer insights into the evolution of sexual dimorphism. Sex-biased genes, especially those with male bias, show elevated evolutionary rates of protein sequences driven by positive selection and relaxed purifying selection in animals ...

A methionine‐lined active site governs carbocation stabilization and product specificity in a bacterial terpene synthase

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
This study reveals a unique active site enriched in methionine residues and demonstrates that these residues play a critical role by stabilizing carbocation intermediates through novel sulfur–cation interactions. Structure‐guided mutagenesis further revealed variants with significantly altered product profiles, enhancing pseudopterosin formation. These

Specimen Identification Through Multilocus Species Tree Constructed From Single‐Copy Orthologs (SCOs): A Case Study in Cymbidium Subgenus Jensoa

Ecology and Evolution
Standard barcodes and ultra‐barcode encounter significant challenges when delimiting and discriminating closely related species characterized by deep coalescence, hybrid speciation, gene flow, or low sequence variation.

The Crop-Group and the inconsistent use of Linnean names in the taxonomy of domesticated plants [PDF]

, 2008
There have been several proposals for classification categories for systematic groups of domesticated plants. In the 6th edition of the International Code for Nomenclature of Cultivated Plants (ICNCP) only two main categories were included, the cultivar ...
