γ-Aminobutyric acid (GABA) signalling in plants
The role of γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) as a signal in animals has been documented for
over 60 years. In contrast, evidence that GABA is a signal in plants has only emerged in the …

Nested radiations and the pulse of angiosperm diversification: increased diversification rates often follow whole genome duplications
Our growing understanding of the plant tree of life provides a novel opportunity to uncover
the major drivers of angiosperm diversity. Using a time‐calibrated phylogeny, we …

Analysis of 41 plant genomes supports a wave of successful genome duplications in association with the Cretaceous–Paleogene boundary
Ancient whole-genome duplications (WGDs), also referred to as paleopolyploidizations,
have been reported in most evolutionary lineages. Their attributed role remains a major …

The grapevine genome sequence suggests ancestral hexaploidization in major angiosperm phyla
French - nature, 2007 - nature.com
The analysis of the first plant genomes provided unexpected evidence for genome
duplication events in species that had previously been considered as true diploids on the …

Role of secondary metabolites and brassinosteroids in plant defense against environmental stresses
Being sessile, plants are subjected to a diverse array of environmental stresses during their
life span. Exposure of plants to environmental stresses results in the generation of reactive …

The role of hybridization in plant speciation
The importance of hybridization in plant speciation and evolution has been debated for
decades, with opposing views of hybridization as either a creative evolutionary force or …

The roles of segmental and tandem gene duplication in the evolution of large gene families in Arabidopsis thaliana
Abstract Background Most genes in Arabidopsis thaliana are members of gene families.
How do the members of gene families arise, and how are gene family copy numbers …

The evolutionary significance of ancient genome duplications
Many organisms are currently polyploid, or have a polyploid ancestry and now have
secondarily'diploidized'genomes. This finding is surprising because retained whole-genome …
