A comparative study of the short term cold resistance response in distantly related Drosophila species: the role of regucalcin and frost. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2011 The molecular basis of short term cold resistance (indexed as chill-coma recovery time) has been mostly addressed in D. melanogaster, where candidate genes (Dca (also known as smp-30) and Frost (Fst)) have been identified.

Evolution of a Complex Locus: Exon Gain, Loss and Divergence at the Gr39a Locus in Drosophila [PDF]
, 2008 Background. Gene families typically evolve by gene duplication followed by the adoption of new or altered gene functions. A different way to evolve new but related functions is alternative splicing of existing exons of a complex gene.

Phylogenomic analyses of the genus Drosophila reveals genomic signals of climate adaptation [PDF]
, 2022 Many Drosophila species differ widely in their distributions and climate niches, making them excellent subjects for evolutionary genomic studies. Here, we have developed a database of high-quality assemblies for 46 Drosophila species and one closely ...

Trends in maintaining postharvest freshness and quality of Rubus berries
Comprehensive Reviews in Food Science and Food Safety, Volume 22, Issue 6, Page 4600-4643, November 2023., 2023 Abstract Blackberries and raspberries, commonly known as Rubus berries, are commercially grown worldwide across different climates. Rubus berries contain wide array of phytochemicals, vitamins, dietary fibers, minerals, and unsaturated fatty acids. Nevertheless, these berries have short storage life which is the major constraint in their supply chains ...

Quantifying adaptive evolution and the effects of natural selection across the Norway spruce genome
Molecular Ecology, Volume 32, Issue 19, Page 5288-5304, October 2023., 2023 Abstract Detecting natural selection is one of the major goals of evolutionary genomics. Here, we sequenced the whole genome of 25 Picea abies individuals and quantified the amount of selection across the genome. Using an estimate of the distribution of fitness effects, we showed that both negative selection and the rate of positively selected ...
