Divergent roles of ent‐kaurene oxidase paralogs in rice momilactone biosynthesis
Rice contains a five‐gene tandem array of genes encoding members of the ent‐kaurene oxidase (KO) family, with OsKOL4 and OsKOL5 playing divergent roles in momilactone metabolism, but both acting in the production of antifungal and antibacterial phytoalexins, which are important for disease resistance.

Mitogenome structure and phylogenomics of the order Thoreales (Nemaliophycidae, Rhodophyta)
Abstract Organelle genomes offer a powerful tool for red algal evolutionary studies. Although the number of Rhodophyta genomes has increased substantially over the past 2 decades, only two mitochondrial genomes have been reported for the red algal order Thoreales.

ABSTRACT Conservation of biodiversity is a global priority as human‐driven pressures continue to intensify and alter ecosystems worldwide. Marine mammals are vulnerable species, facing numerous escalating anthropogenic threats. Here, we evaluate how, as omics technologies become more accessible and affordable, established and emerging tools are ...

ABSTRACT Photopigments, formed by an opsin protein bound to a light‐sensitive chromophore, underlie vertebrate vision. Long‐wavelength–sensitive (LWS) opsins mediate red‐light detection, and most teleosts retain a single functional LWS1. A shorter‐shifted green‐sensitive paralog (LWS2) is found only in a few lineages.

ABSTRACT Understanding how demography and natural selection interact during colonization of novel environments is a central question in evolutionary biology. The Baltic Sea region combines one of the world's strongest salinity gradients with a well‐characterized postglacial history of less than ~12,000 years. The harbour porpoise (Phocoena phocoena) is

Interspecific Gene Flow and Potential Hybrid Breakdown in South Atlantic Sea Turtles
ABSTRACT Interspecific hybridisation can play an important evolutionary role, generating new taxa or outbreeding depression, which can also lead to behavioural reproductive isolation through reinforcement. Still, there are few studies investigating how divergence time relates to hybridisation rates and its impact on introgression. Sea turtles are known
