Gene Replacement in Arabidopsis Reveals Manganese Transport as an Ancient Feature of Human, Plant and Cyanobacterial UPF0016 Proteins

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2021
The protein family 0016 (UPF0016) is conserved through evolution, and the few members characterized share a function in Mn2+ transport. So far, little is known about the history of these proteins in Eukaryotes. In Arabidopsis thaliana five such proteins,

A class of phylogenetic networks reconstructable from ancestral profiles [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Rooted phylogenetic networks provide an explicit representation of the evolutionary history of a set $X$ of sampled species. In contrast to phylogenetic trees which show only speciation events, networks can also accommodate reticulate processes (for example, hybrid evolution, endosymbiosis, and lateral gene transfer). A major goal in systematic biology

Biosynthesis of fucoxanthin and diadinoxanthin and function of initial pathway genes in Phaeodactylum tricornutum [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
The biosynthesis pathway to diadinoxanthin and fucoxanthin was elucidated in Phaeodactylum tricornutum by a combined approach involving metabolite analysis identification of gene function.

Symbiotic outcome modified by the diversification from 7 to over 700 nodule specific cysteine rich peptides [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
Legume-rhizobium symbiosis represents one of the most successfully co-evolved mutualisms. Within nodules, the bacterial cells undergo distinct metabolic and morphological changes and differentiate into nitrogen-fixing bacteroids.

A kleptoplastidic dinoflagellate and the tipping point between transient and fully integrated plastid endosymbiosis

open access: yesProceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2019
Significance Kleptoplasty is the process by which a heterotrophic predator eats an algal prey cell and then steals and temporarily retains the alga’s photosynthetic plastid organelle. Kleptoplasty is relatively common in nature, but also represents a key

A potential cyanobacterial ancestor of Viridiplantae chloroplasts [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
The theory envisaging the origin of plastids from endosymbiotic cyanobacteria is well-established but it is difficult to explain the evolution (spread) of plastids in phylogenetically diverse plant groups.

Gene Similarity-based Approaches for Determining Core-Genes of Chloroplasts

open access: yes, 2014
In computational biology and bioinformatics, the manner to understand evolution processes within various related organisms paid a lot of attention these last decades.

The Future of Systematics: Tree-Thinking Without the Tree [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Phylogenetic trees are meant to represent the genealogical history of life and apparently derive their justification from the existence of the tree of life and the fact that evolutionary processes are tree-like.

Rings Reconcile Genotypic and Phenotypic Evolution within the Proteobacteria. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Although prokaryotes are usually classified using molecular phylogenies instead of phenotypes after the advent of gene sequencing, neither of these methods is satisfactory because the phenotypes cannot explain the molecular trees and the trees do not fit
