Adaptive introgression: a plant perspective
, 2018 Introgression is emerging as an important source of novel genetic variation, alongside standing variation and mutation. It is adaptive when such introgressed alleles are maintained by natural selection. Recently, there has been an explosion in the number

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.Museum specimens provide a rich source of historical DNA, enabling insights into phylogenetic relationships and demographic history of the endangered Koklass Pheasant. Our findings uncovered a previously unrecognized population in Guizhou province and highlighted elevated extinction risk in populations from Anhui province and Southern China, informing ...

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.Here, we adopt an integrative framework (molecular phylogenetics and geometric morphometrics) to reassess patterns of diversity and differentiation across this region. We analyzed cytochrome b sequences and quantified cranial shape variation. Our analyses indicate the presence of three species groups (mendocinus, talarum, and tucumanus) and two ...

Mixograph curves of dough prepared from introgression lines and their parents.
, 2013 Resistance in arbitrary units (AU) is plotted against time in minutes. As each pairs of introgression lines with the same HMW-GS compositions (lines C1a and C1b, C2a and C2b, C3a and C3b, C4a and C4b) showed similar patterns of Mixograph curves, the ...

HGTScanner: Detecting horizontal gene transfer at the fine scale using whole organelle genomes
Methods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.Abstract Horizontal gene transfer (HGT) has profoundly shaped eukaryotic organellar genomes like plant mitochondria. Yet no generalized tools are currently available to efficiently characterize HGT across these genomes due to both high structural complexity and low sequence divergence compared to prokaryotic HGTs.

QTL Mapping of Tomato Fruit Weight-Related Traits Using Solanum pimpinellifolium Introgression Lines
AgronomyAs the primary harvested organ, fruit size and weight hold significant economic importance during tomato production. Therefore, elucidating the genetic mechanisms underlying fruit size and weight is of considerable agronomic value.

Wolbachia in the Culex pipiens group mosquitoes: introgression and superinfection. [PDF]
, 2009 Wolbachia bacteria in mosquitoes induce cytoplasmic incompatibility (CI), where sperm from Wolbachia-infected males can produce inviable progeny. The wPip strain in the Culex pipiens group of mosquitoes produces a complexity of CI crossing types. Several

Genomic Assessment of Reintroduced African Wild Dogs Informs Conservation Translocations
Animal Conservation, EarlyView.Few reintroduction and translocation programs incorporate genomic assessments into management planning, despite ongoing debate over how founder individuals should be selected. Here, we assess the genomic composition of reintroduced African wild dog (Lycaon pictus) populations in private reserves in South Africa, comparing them with a free‐roaming ...
