Microplastics Enhance the Prevalence of Antibiotic Resistance Genes in Anaerobic Sludge Digestion by Enriching Antibiotic-Resistant Bacteria in Surface Biofilm and Facilitating the Vertical and Horizontal Gene Transfer.

Environmental Science and Technology, 2023
Antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) and microplastics (MPs) are recognized as emerging contaminants and threats to global human health. Despite both of them being significantly detected in their "hotspots", i.e., waste activated sludge (WAS), rare studies

Horizontal gene transfer of Fhb7 from fungus underlies Fusarium head blight resistance in wheat

Science, 2020
Fungal disease meets its match Fusarium head blight (FHB), caused by a fungus, reduces wheat crop yield and introduces toxins into the harvest. From the assembly of the genome of Thinopyrum elongatum, a wild relative of wheat used in breeding programs to

Horizontal Gene Transfer

2006
Horizontal gene transfer (HGT) may be defined as any occurrence of heritable material passing between organisms, asynchronous with reproduction of the organisms. It represents replication of heritable material outside the context of parent to offspring (i.e. vertical) reproduction. Three types of evidence traditionally lead to claims of HGT.

Horizontal gene transfer in yeasts

Current Opinion in Genetics & Development, 2022
Horizontal gene transfer (HGT), defined as the exchange of genetic material other than from parent to progeny, is very common in bacteria and appears to constitute the most important mechanism contributing to enlarge a species gene pool. However, in eukaryotes, HGT is certainly much less common and some early insufficiently consubstantiated cases ...

Ancient horizontal gene transfer

Nature Reviews Genetics, 2003
The cornerstone of Charles Darwin's theory of evolution is the vertical inheritance of traits from parent to offspring across successive generations. However, molecular evolutionary biologists have shown that extensive horizontal (also known as lateral) gene transfer (HGT) can occur between distantly related species.
