The CACTA transposon Bot1 played a major role in Brassica genome divergence and gene proliferation [PDF]
, 2008 We isolated and characterized a Brassica C genome-specific CACTA element, which was designated Bot1 (Brassica oleracea transposon 1). After analysing phylogenetic relationships, copy numbers and sequence similarity of Bot1 and Bot1 analogues in B ...

Retrotransposon Proliferation Coincident with the Evolution of Dioecy in Asparagus
G3: Genes, Genomes, Genetics, 2016 Current phylogenetic sampling reveals that dioecy and an XY sex chromosome pair evolved once, or possibly twice, in the genus Asparagus. Although there appear to be some lineage-specific polyploidization events, the base chromosome number of 2n = 2× = 20

Universal Features in the Genome-level Evolution of Protein Domains [PDF]
, 2008 Protein domains are found on genomes with notable statistical distributions, which bear a high degree of similarity. Previous work has shown how these distributions can be accounted for by simple models, where the main ingredients are probabilities of ...

Whence Came These Plants Most Foul? Phylogenomics and Biogeography of Lowiaceae (Zingiberales)
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2022 Lowiaceae (order Zingiberales) is a small family of forest herbs in Southeast Asia. All species belong to the genus Orchidantha. They are known for possessing orchid-like flowers that are smelly, apparently mimicking dead animals, feces, or mushrooms ...

Genomes and Transcriptomes of Duckweeds
Frontiers in Chemistry, 2018 Duckweeds (Lemnaceae family) are the smallest flowering plants that adapt to the aquatic environment. They are regarded as the promising sustainable feedstock with the characteristics of high starch storage, fast propagation, and global distribution. The

Distribution and variability of the Balkan endemic Geum bulgaricum (Rosaceae) - a species of European concern [PDF]
Botanica Serbica, 2018 As a European endemic restricted to a few European countries, Geum bulgaricum is here treated as a “target species” or “species of European concern”. Although of great international significance, its distribution is insufficiently known.

Draft genome sequence of the Daphnia pathogen Octosporea bayeri: insights into the gene content of a large microsporidian genome and a model for host-parasite interactions [PDF]
, 2009 Background: The highly compacted 2.9-Mb genome of Encephalitozoon cuniculi placed the microsporidia in the spotlight, encoding a mere 2,000 proteins and a highly reduced suite of biochemical pathways.

Evolution of repetitive DNA in angiosperms: examples from Nicotiana allopolyploids [PDF]
, 2012 PhDAllopolyploidy, interspecific hybridisation coupled with genome multiplication, is a prevailing force in the evolution of angiosperms. This thesis examines the consequences of allopolyploidy at the genomic level.

Phylogeny more than plant height and leaf area explains variance in seed mass
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2023 Although variation in seed mass can be attributed to other plant functional traits such as plant height, leaf size, genome size, growth form, leaf N and phylogeny, until now, there has been little information on the relative contributions of these ...
