Different plant species within the grasses were parallel targets of domestication, giving rise
to crops with distinct evolutionary histories and traits. Key traits that distinguish these species …

DNA methylation is found across eukaryotes; however, plants have evolved patterns and
pathways of DNA methylation that are distinct from animals and fungi. DNA methylation …

The tea plant (Camellia sinensis) is a thermophilic cash crop and contains a highly
duplicated and repeat‐rich genome. It is still unclear how DNA methylation regulates the …

Processes affecting rates of sequence polymorphism are fundamental to the evolution of
gene duplicates. The relationship between gene activity and sequence polymorphism can …

Duplicated genes provide the opportunity for evolutionary novelty and adaptive divergence.
In many cases, having more gene copies increases gene expression, which might facilitate …

Histone methylation is an important type of histone modification that regulates gene
expression in plants. In this study, we identified 14 arginine methylation-related genes …

Gene and genome duplications are major evolutionary forces that shape the diversity and
complexity of life. However, different duplication modes have distinct impacts on gene …

Rice production is of paramount importance for global nutrition and potential yields will be
detrimentally affected by climate change. Rice stomatal developmental genetics were …

Processes affecting rates of sequence polymorphism are fundamental to molecular
evolution and the evolutionary fate of gene duplicates. The relationship between gene …

Les plantes à fleurs, également connues sous le nom d'Angiospermes, ont évolué il y a plus
de 300 millions d'années, se diversifiant et colonisant la plupart des habitats terrestres pour …
