Transcriptomic Profiles of Long Noncoding RNAs and Their Target Protein-Coding Genes Reveals Speciation Adaptation on the Qinghai-Xizang (Tibet) Plateau in Orinus [PDF]

Biology
Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) are RNA molecules longer than 200 nt, which lack the ability to encode proteins and are involved in multifarious growth, development, and regulatory processes in plants and mammals.

Development of SSR markers from transcriptomes for Orinus (Poaceae), an endemic of the Qinghai–Tibetan Plateau [PDF]

Applications in Plant Sciences, 2017
Premise of the study:Transcriptomes were used to develop microsatellite markers for the plant genus Orinus (Poaceae), which comprises three species of grasses (O. thoroldii, O. kokonoricus, and O. intermedius) that are widely distributed in the Qinghai–Tibetan Plateau.Methods and Results:Primer pairs were developed for 16 high‐quality simple sequence ...

Phylogeny and circumscription of the genus Orinus (Poaceae: Eragrostideae): evidence from NRDNA its sequences

Bioscience Journal, 2016
In this study, ITS sequences of the nuclear ribosomal DNA were conducted for six putative species of Orinus (O. alticulmus, O. anomala, O. kokonorica, O. longiglumis, O. thoroldii and O. tibeticus) with 572 individuals from 73 populations.

Structural variation drives rhizome innovation and adaptive divergence in sister Medicago species [PDF]

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, Volume 68, Issue 2, Page 406-424, February 2026.
Chromosome‐scale genome analysis, population resequencing, stress‐responsive transcriptomes and functional assays showed that coding and regulatory structural variants, especially gene duplications and noncoding presence‐absence variants, underlie rhizome formation in alpine Medicago archiducis‐nicolai and contrasting xeric adaptation in its non ...

Species delimitation in plants using the Qinghai–Tibet Plateau endemicOrinus(Poaceae: Tridentinae) as an example [PDF]

Annals of Botany, 2015
Accurate identification of species is essential for the majority of biological studies. However, defining species objectively and consistently remains a challenge, especially for plants distributed in remote regions where there is often a lack of sufficient previous specimens.

Incorporating Genetic Diversity to Optimize the Plant Conservation Network in the Third Pole [PDF]

Global Change Biology, Volume 31, Issue 3, March 2025.
Climate change is a major threat to plant survival, and existing protected areas often fail to consider genetic diversity, which is crucial for species adaptation. Our meta‐analysis of plants in the Third Pole region shows that genetic diversity in the area is shaped by climate and landscape factors. To survive, many plants will need to move upward and

Remarkable Ancient Divergences Amongst Neglected Lorisiform Primates [PDF]

Zool J Linn Soc, 2015
Lorisiform primates (Primates: Strepsirrhini: Lorisiformes) represent almost 10% of the living primate species and are widely distributed in sub-Saharan Africa and South/South-East Asia; however, their taxonomy, evolutionary history, and biogeography are
