Allopolyploidization is accompanied by changes in gene expression that are thought to
contribute to phenotypic diversification. Here we describe global changes in the single …

Plant non-specific lipid transfer proteins (nsLTPs) are involved in many biological processes.
In this study, 51, 47 and 91 nsLTPs were identified in Gossypium arboreum, G. raimondii …

Allotetraploid cotton species are a vital source of spinnable fiber for textiles. The polyploid
nature of the cotton genome raises many evolutionary questions as to the relationships …

Cytological studies have shown many newly formed allopolyploids (neoallopolyploids)
exhibit chromosomal variation as a result of meiotic irregularities, but few naturally occurring …

Long-distance insular dispersal is associated with divergence and speciation because of
founder effects and strong genetic drift. The cotton tribe (Gossypieae) has experienced …

Background GGPP (geranylgeranyl diphosphate) is produced in the isoprenoid pathway
and mediates the function of various plant metabolites, which is synthesized by GGPPS …

Polyploidy is a widespread phenomenon throughout eukaryotes, with important ecological
and evolutionary consequences. Although genes operate as components of complex …

We profiled the global gene expression landscape across the reproductive lifecycle of
Brassica napus. Comparative analysis of this nascent amphidiploid revealed the …

MicroRNAs are ubiquitous in plant genomes but vary greatly in their abundance within and
conservation among plant lineages. To gain insight into the evolutionary birth/death …

Targeted sequence capture is a promising technology in many areas in biology. These
methods enable efficient and relatively inexpensive sequencing of hundreds to thousands of …
