Horizontal gene transfer in the phytosphere [PDF]
New Phytologist, 2003 SummaryHere, the ecological aspects of gene transfer processes between bacteria in the phytosphere are examined in the context of emerging evidence for the dominant role that horizontal gene transfer (HGT) has played in the evolutionary shaping of bacterial communities.

Horizontal gene transfer in plants [PDF]
Functional & Integrative Genomics, 2013 Horizontal gene transfer (HGT) describes the transmission of genetic material across species boundaries. HGT often occurs in microbic and eukaryotic genomes. However, the pathways by which HGTs occur in multicellular eukaryotes, especially in plants, are not well understood. We systematically summarized more than ten possible pathways for HGT.

Widespread of horizontal gene transfer in the human genome [PDF]
BMC Genomics, 2017 Background A fundamental concept in biology is that heritable material is passed from parents to offspring, a process called vertical gene transfer. An alternative mechanism of gene acquisition is through horizontal gene transfer (HGT), which involves ...

Horizontal Gene Transfer Involving Chloroplasts [PDF]
International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2021 Horizontal gene transfer (HGT)- is defined as the acquisition of genetic material from another organism. However, recent findings indicate a possible role of HGT in the acquisition of traits with adaptive significance, suggesting that HGT is an important driving force in the evolution of eukaryotes as well as prokaryotes.

Horizontal gene transfer in bacteria: an ecological and evolutionary perspective [PDF]
Acta Agriculturae Slovenica, 2000 In recent years, molecular genetics and genome analysis provided extensive evidence that gene loss and acquisition are likely to be the primary mechanisms by which bacteria genetically adapt to novel or changed environments and by which bacterial ...

Horizontal Gene Transfer and the History of Life [PDF]
Cold Spring Harbor Perspectives in Biology, 2016 Microbes acquire DNA from a variety of sources. The last decades, which have seen the development of genome sequencing, have revealed that horizontal gene transfer has been a major evolutionary force that has constantly reshaped genomes throughout evolution. However, because the history of life must ultimately be deduced from gene phylogenies, the lack

Scientific Reports, 2023 The foodborne bacterium Staphylococcus equorum strain KS1030 harbours plasmid pSELNU1, which encodes a lincomycin resistance gene. pSELNU1 undergoes horizontal transfer between bacterial strains, thus spreading antibiotic resistance.

Horizontal gene transfer of conjugative transposons Tn916
上海师范大学学报. 自然科学版, 2022 Horizontal gene transfer (HGT) greatly improves the adaptability of bacteria to the environment, and promotes the evolution of bacteria. Genomic islands (GEIs) are the gene fragments obtained by HGT in prokaryotes.
