Genome-wide analysis of NBS-LRR genes in Rosaceae species reveals distinct evolutionary patterns

Frontiers in Genetics, 2022
The nucleotide-binding site and leucine-rich repeat (NBS-LRR) genes, one of the largest gene families in plants, are evolving rapidly and playing a critical role in plant resistance to pathogens. In this study, a genome-wide search in 12 Rosaceae genomes

Patterns of protist distribution and diversification in alpine lakes across Europe

MicrobiologyOpen, 2021
Biogeography in Europe is known to be crucially influenced by the large mountain ranges serving as biogeographical islands for cold‐adapted taxa and geographical barriers for warm‐adapted taxa. While biogeographical patterns are well‐known for plants and

Phylogenetic Analysis of the SQUAMOSA Promoter-Binding Protein-Like Genes in Four Ipomoea Species and Expression Profiling of the IbSPLs During Storage Root Development in Sweet Potato (Ipomoea batatas)

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022
As a major plant-specific transcription factor family, SPL genes play a crucial role in plant growth, development, and stress tolerance. The SPL transcription factor family has been widely studied in various plant species; however, systematic studies on ...

Palaeobiology and evolutionary context of Angulithes mermeti, a streamlined early Late Cretaceous shallow-water nautiloid [PDF]

Acta Palaeontologica Polonica, 2019
Cretaceous nautiloids are commonly characterized by inflated shells and prolonged stratigraphic ranges. In the Albian, the species of Angulithes appeared and compressed, short-lived forms with narrow venters emerged during the Cenomanian age.

Evolutionary Patterns of Intersexual Power

Animals, 2023
Dominance and leverage are both possible causes of social inequality. If sexual dimorphism influences patterns of intersexual dominance, we predicted that highly dimorphic species are constrained to exhibit male-biased power (MP), but species with low ...

Expansion and Evolutionary Patterns of Glycosyltransferase Family 8 in Gramineae Crop Genomes and Their Expression under Salt and Cold Stresses in Oryza sativa ssp. japonica

Biomolecules, 2019
Plant cell walls play a fundamental role in several ways, providing structural support for cells, resistance against pathogens and facilitating the communication between cells.

Evolutionary patterns and development prospects for e-government: a Delphi-based approach to perceptions of the administrative agent

Journal of Business Economics and Management, 2014
Information technology is an open door for governments to service citizens in a more timely, cost-efficient and effective manner. Even considering citizen resistance, cultural adversity or changes in the economic agents’ relationship, few would contest ...

Gene fusion as an important mechanism to generate new genes in the genus Oryza

Genome Biology, 2022
Background Events of gene fusion have been reported in several organisms. However, the general role of gene fusion as part of new gene origination remains unknown.

Universal scaling in the branching of the tree of life. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2008
Understanding the patterns and processes of diversification of life in the planet is a key challenge of science. The Tree of Life represents such diversification processes through the evolutionary relationships among the different taxa, and can be ...
