The genomic and phenotypic diversity of Schizosaccharomyces pombe [PDF]

Nature Genetics, 2015
Natural variation within species reveals aspects of genome evolution and function. The fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe is an important model for eukaryotic biology, but researchers typically use one standard laboratory strain. To extend the usefulness of this model, we surveyed the genomic and phenotypic variation in 161 natural isolates.

Phenotypic changes in different spinach varieties grown and selected under organic conditions

, 2011
Organic and low-input agriculture needs flexible varieties that can buffer environmental stress and adapt to the needs of farmers. We implemented an experiment to investigate the evolutionary capacities of a sample of spinach (Spinacia oleracea L ...

Genetic Diversity among Sugarcane Genotypes Based on Qualitative Traits

Advances in Agriculture, 2016
The study was conducted during 2012/2013 at Wonji Sugar Estate, Ethiopia, to estimate the extent of morphological diversity among sugarcane germplasm based on 16 qualitative traits. Four hundred sugarcane genotypes grouped in 20 locations were considered.

Intermediate Levels of Antibiotics May Increase Diversity of Colony Size Phenotype in Bacteria

Computational and Structural Biotechnology Journal, 2018
Antibiotics select for resistant bacteria whose existence and emergence is more likely in populations with high phenotypic and genetic diversity. Identifying the mechanisms that generate this diversity can thus have clinical consequences for drug ...

Does phenotypic diversity induced by parental effects influence population structure and productivity?

Global Ecology and Conservation
Phenotypic diversity within a plant community can result from species diversity, genetic diversity and environmental variation. While phenotypic diversity mediated by species and genetic diversity can influence population structure and productivity, it ...

Protein pyrophosphorylation by inositol pyrophosphates — detection, function, and regulation

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Protein pyrophosphorylation is an unusual signaling mechanism that was discovered two decades ago. It can be driven by inositol pyrophosphate messengers and influences various cellular processes. Herein, we summarize the research progress and challenges of this field, covering pathways found to be regulated by this posttranslational modification as ...

The genetic and molecular architecture of phenotypic diversity in sticklebacks

, 2017
A major goal of evolutionary biology is to identify the genotypes and phenotypes that underlie adaptation to divergent environments. Stickleback fish, including the threespine stickleback (Gasterosteus aculeatus) and the ninespine stickleback ...

Organ‐specific redox imbalances in spinal muscular atrophy mice are partially rescued by SMN antisense oligonucleotides

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
We identified a systemic, progressive loss of protein S‐glutathionylation—detected by nonreducing western blotting—alongside dysregulation of glutathione‐cycle enzymes in both neuronal and peripheral tissues of Taiwanese SMA mice. These alterations were partially rescued by SMN antisense oligonucleotide therapy, revealing persistent redox imbalance as ...
