Evolution of the SPATULA/ALCATRAZ gene lineage and expression analyses in the basal eudicot, Bocconia frutescens L. (Papaveraceae) [PDF]
EvoDevo, 2017 Background SPATULA (SPT) and ALCATRAZ (ALC) are recent paralogs that belong to the large bHLH transcription factor family. Orthologs of these genes have been found in all core eudicots, whereas pre-duplication genes, named paleoSPATULA/ALCATRAZ, have ...

Evolution of Alternative Splicing in Eudicots [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2019 Alternative pre-mRNA splicing (AS) is prevalent in plants and is involved in many interactions between plants and environmental stresses. However, the patterns and underlying mechanisms of AS evolution in plants remain unclear.

A survey of tricolpate (eudicot) phylogenetic relationships [PDF]
American Journal of Botany, 2004 The phylogenetic structure of the tricolpate clade (or eudicots) is presented through a survey of their major subclades, each of which is briefly characterized. The tricolpate clade was first recognized in 1989 and has received extensive phylogenetic study. Its major subclades, recognized at ordinal and familial ranks, are now apparent.

Morphology of pollen in Apiales (Asterids, Eudicots)
Phytotaxa, 2021 In this monograph, for the first time, the pollen morphology was analysed in the context of modern taxonomic treatment of the order and statistically evaluated in search of traits that could be utilised in further taxonomic and evolutionary studies. Our research included pollen sampled from 417 herbarium specimens representing 158 species belonging to ...

Membranous Interacting Partners of Phage-Type Plastid RNA Polymerase Have Limited Impact on Plastid Gene Expression During Chloroplast Development. [PDF]
Plant DirectABSTRACT In vascular plants, genes in the plastid genome are transcribed by two types of RNA polymerases, namely, phage‐type nuclear‐encoded and bacterial‐type plastid‐encoded plastid RNA polymerases (NEP and PEP, respectively). Eudicots, including Arabidopsis, carry two isoforms of NEP, RPOTp and RPOTmp.

Specific duplication and dorsoventrally asymmetric expression patterns of Cycloidea-like genes in zygomorphic species of Ranunculaceae. [PDF]
, 2014 Floral bilateral symmetry (zygomorphy) has evolved several times independently in angiosperms from radially symmetrical (actinomorphic) ancestral states. Homologs of the Antirrhinum majus Cycloidea gene (Cyc) have been shown to control floral symmetry in

Diversification of genes encoding granule-bound starch synthase in monocots and dicots is marked by multiple genome-wide duplication events. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 Starch is one of the major components of cereals, tubers, and fruits. Genes encoding granule-bound starch synthase (GBSS), which is responsible for amylose synthesis, have been extensively studied in cereals but little is known about them in fruits.

Deep evaluation of the evolutionary history of the Heat Shock Factor (HSF) gene family and its expansion pattern in seed plants [PDF]
PeerJ, 2022 Heat shock factor (HSF) genes are essential in some of the basic developmental pathways in plants. Despite extensive studies on the structure, functional diversification, and evolution of HSF genes, their divergence history and gene duplication pattern ...
