Genome-wide analysis of NBS-LRR genes in Rosaceae species reveals distinct evolutionary patterns [PDF]
The nucleotide-binding site and leucine-rich repeat (NBS-LRR) genes, one of the largest gene families in plants, are evolving rapidly and playing a critical role in plant resistance to pathogens. In this study, a genome-wide search in 12 Rosaceae genomes

Polyploidy underlies co-option and diversification of biosynthetic triterpene pathways in the apple tribe. [PDF]
Whole-genome duplication (WGD) plays important roles in plant evolution and function, yet little is known about how WGD underlies metabolic diversification of natural products that bear significant medicinal properties, especially in nonmodel trees. Here,
