Divergent Fructokinase Genes Are Differentially Expressed in Tomato [PDF]
Abstract Two cDNA clones (Frk1 and Frk2) encoding fructokinase (EC 2.7.1.4) were isolated from tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum). The Frk2 cDNA encoded a deduced protein of 328 amino acids that was more than 90% identical with a previously characterized potato (Solanum tuberosum) fructokinase.

Increased expression and protein divergence in duplicate genes is associated with morphological diversification. [PDF]
The differentiation of both gene expression and protein function is thought to be important as a mechanism of the functionalization of duplicate genes.

Divergence of high order Gaussian modes [PDF]
A simple expression for the beam divergence from a laser oscillating in a high order Gaussian mode can be derived from the properties of the mathematical expressions for these ...

Divergence in Expression between Duplicated Genes in Arabidopsis [PDF]
New genes may arise through tandem duplication, dispersed small-scale duplication, and polyploidy, and patterns of divergence between duplicated genes may vary among these classes. We have examined patterns of gene expression and coding sequence divergence between duplicated genes in Arabidopsis thaliana.

Nonrandom divergence of gene expression following gene and genome duplications in the flowering plant [PDF]
Background: Genome analyses have revealed that gene duplication in plants is rampant. Furthermore, many of the duplicated genes seem to have been created through ancient genome-wide duplication events. Recently, we have shown that gene loss is strikingly

Evidence of neutral transcriptome evolution in plants [PDF]
The transcriptome of an organism is its set of gene transcripts (mRNAs) at a defined spatial and temporal locus. Because gene expression is affected markedly by environmental and developmental perturbations, it is widely assumed that transcriptome ...

Parallelism and divergence in immune responses: a comparison of expression levels in two lakes [PDF]
Question: How do immune phenotypes differ between infected and uninfected wild individuals, and is the effect the same in different populations? Organisms: Threespine stickleback (Gasterosteus aculeatus) from two lake populations on the island of North ...

Tissue-Specific Expression of Divergent Actins in Soybean Root [PDF]
It has been proposed that the evolution of distinct classes of genes encoding the kappa-, lambda-, and mu-actins in soybean is the result of an ancient divergence in patterns of actin gene expression. In this study, antisera against a family of synthetic actin peptides from a divergent region within the predicted actin polypeptide sequences have been ...

Astrocytes Drive Divergent Metabolic Gene Expression in Humans and Chimpanzees [PDF]
Abstract The human brain utilizes ∼20% of all of the body's metabolic resources, while chimpanzee brains use <10%. Although previous work shows significant differences in metabolic gene expression between the brains of primates, we have yet to fully resolve the contribution of distinct brain cell types. To investigate cell type–

Modes of gene duplication contribute differently to genetic novelty and redundancy, but show parallels across divergent angiosperms. [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Both single gene and whole genome duplications (WGD) have recurred in angiosperm evolution. However, the evolutionary effects of different modes of gene duplication, especially regarding their contributions to genetic novelty or redundancy ...
