Spruce (Picea spp.) species are the dominant component of the circumboreal forest and one
of the most reforested species groups in the world. They have become a reference among …

Summary The genus Cupressus L.(Cupressaceae) is unevenly distributed across the world,
occurring mostly in the northern hemisphere. Species of Cupressus have been considered …

Gymnosperms diverged from their sister plant clade of flowering plants 300 Mya.
Morphological and functional divergence between the two major seed plant clades involved …

Nudix hydrolases are conserved enzymes ubiquitously present in all kingdoms of life.
Recent research revealed that several Nudix hydrolases are involved in terpenoid …

Since their origin 160 million years ago, flowering plants have rapidly diversified into more
than 300,000 species, adapting to a striking array of habitats and conditions. Given their …

Gene copy number variations (CNVs) involved in phenotypic variations have already been
shown in plants, but genomewide testing of CNVs for adaptive variation was not doable until …

Gene copy number variation (CNV) has been associated with phenotypic variability in
animals and plants, but a genomewide understanding of their impacts on phenotypes is …

Conifers are long-lived and slow-evolving, thus requiring effective defences against their fast-
evolving insect natural enemies. The copy number variation (CNV) of two key acetophenone …

Gene expression, especially in multispecies experiments, is used to gain insight into the
genetic basis of how organisms adapt and respond to changing environments. However …

Rangifer tarandus has experienced recent drastic population size reductions throughout its
circumpolar distribution and preserving the species implies genetic diversity conservation …
