Effects of parental genetic divergence on gene expression patterns in interspecific hybrids of Camellia

open access: yesBMC Genomics, 2019
Background The merging of two divergent genomes during hybridization can result in the remodeling of parental gene expression in hybrids. A molecular basis underling expression change in hybrid is regulatory divergence, which may change with the parental

Genetic divergence of common bean cultivars

open access: yesGenetics and Molecular Research, 2015
The aim of this study was to evaluate genetic divergence in the 'Carioca' (beige with brown stripes) common bean cultivar used by different institutions and in 16 other common bean cultivars used in the Rede Cooperativa de Pesquisa de Feijão (Cooperative Network of Common Bean Research), by using simple sequence repeats associated with agronomic traits

Adaptive genetic divergence along narrow environmental gradients in four stream insects.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2014
A central question linking ecology with evolutionary biology is how environmental heterogeneity can drive adaptive genetic divergence among populations.

Consistent genetic divergence observed among pelagic Sargassum morphotypes in the western North Atlantic

open access: yesMarine Ecology, 2021
Sargassum natans and Sargassum fluitans are uniquely holopelagic macroalgae, providing open ocean nursery and foraging habitat for commercially and ecologically important species.

Predictors for reproductive isolation in a ring species complex following genetic and ecological divergence

open access: yesBMC Evolutionary Biology, 2011
Background Reproductive isolation (RI) is widely accepted as an important "check point" in the diversification process, since it defines irreversible evolutionary trajectories. Much less consensus exists about the processes that might drive RI.

Factors affecting interspecific differences in genetic divergence among populations of Anolis lizards in Cuba

open access: yesZoological Letters, 2018
Background Geographical patterns and degrees of genetic divergence among populations differ between species, reflecting relative potentials for speciation or cladogenesis and differing capacities for environmental adaptation.

Genetic Divergence of Two Sitobion avenae Biotypes on Barley and Wheat in China

open access: yesInsects, 2020
Host plant affinity and geographic distance can play critical roles in the genetic divergence of insect herbivores and evolution of insect biotypes, but their relative importance in the divergence of insect populations is still poorly understood. We used

The pomegranate (Punica granatum L.) draft genome dissects genetic divergence between soft‐ and hard‐seeded cultivars

open access: yesPlant Biotechnology Journal, 2019
Summary Complete and highly accurate reference genomes and gene annotations are indispensable for basic biological research and trait improvement of woody tree species.

Dengue genetic divergence generates within-serotype antigenic variation, but serotypes dominate evolutionary dynamics

open access: yeseLife, 2019
Dengue virus (DENV) exists as four genetically distinct serotypes, each of which is historically assumed to be antigenically uniform. Recent analyses suggest that antigenic heterogeneity may exist within each serotype, but its source, extent and impact ...

Genetics of ecological divergence during speciation [PDF]

open access: yesNature, 2014
Ecological differences often evolve early in speciation as divergent natural selection drives adaptation to distinct ecological niches, leading ultimately to reproductive isolation. Although this process is a major generator of biodiversity, its genetic basis is still poorly understood.
