The sea represents a major source of biodiversity. It exhibits many different ecosystems in a
huge variety of environmental conditions where marine organisms have evolved with …

Abiotic stresses are among the principal limiting factors for productivity in agriculture. In the
current era of continuous climate changes, the understanding of the molecular aspects …

Epitranscriptomics is considered as a new regulatory step in eukaryotes for developmental
processes and stress responses. The aim of this study was, for the first time, to identify RNA …

Circadian regulations are essential for enabling organisms to synchronize physiology with
environmental light-dark cycles. Post-transcriptional RNA modifications still represent an …

Most of the transcribed genome in eukaryotes does not code for proteins but produces non-
genic transcripts. Among these non-genic transcripts some are newly transcribed, when …

Background “Omics” approaches may provide useful information for a deeper understanding
of speciation events, diversification and function innovation. This can be achieved by …

Photoreceptor cells (PRC) are neurons highly specialized for sensing light stimuli and have
considerably diversified during evolution. The genetic mechanisms that underlie …

The genus Erwinia includes plant-pathogenic, non-pathogenic and even opportunistic
human pathogens. Among them, Erwinia amylovora is one of the most studied species, as …

Gene homology helps us understand gene function and speciation. The number of plant
genes and species registered in public databanks is continuously increasing. It is useful to …

Non-coding regions with dozens to several hundred base pairs of extreme conservation
have been found in all metazoan genomes. The distribution of these conserved non-coding …
