Cantaloupe melon genome reveals 3D chromatin features and structural relationship with the ancestral cucurbitaceae karyotype

iScience, 2022
Summary: Cucumis melo displays a large diversity of horticultural groups with cantaloupe melon the most cultivated type. Using a combination of single-molecule sequencing, 10X Genomics link-reads, high-density optical and genetic maps, and chromosome ...

Evolution and Emergence of Plant Viruses [PDF]

, 2014
Viruses are common agents of plant infectious diseases. During last decades, worldwide agriculture production has been compromised by a series of epidemics caused by new viruses that spilled over from reservoir species or by new variants of classic viruses that show new pathogenic and epidemiological properties.

The inevitability of C4 photosynthesis

eLife, 2014
Elements of C4 photosynthesis—a complex adaptation that increases photosynthetic efficiency—may have evolved first to correct an intercellular nitrogen imbalance, and only later evolved a central role in carbon fixation.

Structural Diversities and Phylogenetic Signals in Plastomes of the Early-Divergent Angiosperms: A Case Study in Saxifragales

Plants, 2022
As representative of the early-divergent groups of angiosperms, Saxifragales is extremely divergent in morphology, comprising 15 families. Within this order, our previous case studies observed significant structural diversities among the plastomes of ...

Evolution: The Flowering of Land Plant Evolution [PDF]

Current Biology, 2019
Two new studies that consider the timing of origin of angiosperms are poles apart in their estimates. However, their partisan molecular and palaeontological perspectives may hold the key to establishing a unified evolutionary timescale for flowering plants.

Different Non-Target Site Mechanisms Endow Different Glyphosate Susceptibility in Avena Species from Spain

Agronomy, 2023
In recent decades, cereal agriculture across main producing areas in Spain has progressively adopted direct sowing, associated with an increased use of herbicides in pre-sowing.

DNA methylation variations induced by salt and alkali stresses and their differential responses in Tamarix chinensis L

Frontiers in Plant Science
Soil salinization is a critical environmental challenge threatening plant survival. To adapt, certain plants have evolved tolerance to highly saline-alkali environments through long-term natural selection.

Dynamical Patterning Modules, Biogeneric Materials, and the Evolution of Multicellular Plants

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2018
Comparative analyses of developmental processes across a broad spectrum of organisms are required to fully understand the mechanisms responsible for the major evolutionary transitions among eukaryotic photosynthetic lineages (defined here as the ...

Cryogenian Glacial Habitats as a Plant Terrestrialisation Cradle – The Origin of the Anydrophytes and Zygnematophyceae Split

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022
For tens of millions of years (Ma), the terrestrial habitats of Snowball Earth during the Cryogenian period (between 720 and 635 Ma before present–Neoproterozoic Era) were possibly dominated by global snow and ice cover up to the equatorial sublimative ...

Functional characterization of the Csm1-like protein TITAN 9 in Arabidopsis thaliana

iScience
Summary: Kinetochores are essential for chromosome segregation in eukaryotes. An important component of kinetochores in opisthokonta is Csm1. However, its function appears to be diversified and, while Csm1 in budding yeast is a component of the monopolin
