Background: Antimicrobial resistance represents a serious threat to human health across the
globe. The cost of bringing a new antibiotic from discovery to market is high and return on …

Both plants and animals rely on nucleotide-binding domain and leucine-rich repeat-
containing (NLR) proteins to respond to invading pathogens and activate immune …

Here we present the genome sequence and annotation of the wild olive tree (Olea europaea
var. sylvestris), called oleaster, which is considered an ancestor of cultivated olive trees …

Asterids are one of the most successful angiosperm lineages, exhibiting extensive
morphological diversity and including a number of important crops. Despite their biological …

Recent studies have shown that one of the parental subgenomes in ancient polyploids is
generally more dominant, having retained more genes and being more highly expressed, a …

Savannas first began to spread across Africa during the Miocene. A major hypothesis for
explaining this vegetation change is the increase in C4 grasses, promoting fire. We …

The Caryophyllales includes 40 families and 12,500 species, representing a large and
diverse clade of angiosperms. Collectively, members of the clade grow on all continents and …

Premise Comprising five families that vastly differ in species richness—ranging from
Gelsemiaceae with 13 species to the Rubiaceae with 13,775 species—members of the …

Nucleotide-binding domain and leucine-rich repeat-containing receptor (NLR) proteins can
form complex receptor networks to confer innate immunity. An NLR-REQUIRED FOR CELL …

The family Caprifoliaceae sl is an asterid angiosperm clade of ca. 960 species, most of
which are distributed in temperate regions of the northern hemisphere. Recent studies show …
