Xyloglucan endotransglucosylase/hydrolase genes (XTHs) encode enzymes required for
the reconstruction and modification of xyloglucan backbones, which will result in changes of …

Polyploidy is a key factor in the evolution of higher plants and plays an important role in the
variation of plant genomes, leading to speciation in some cases. During polyploidisation …

The C‐value paradox remains incompletely resolved after> 40 yr and is exemplified by
2,350‐fold variation in genome sizes of flowering plants. The carnivorous Lentibulariaceae …

Abstract Background Simple sequence repeats (SSRs) are tandem repeats of DNA that
have been used to develop robust genetic markers. These molecular markers are powerful …

Whole-genome duplications (WGDs) are a prominent process of diversification in
eukaryotes. The genetic and evolutionary forces that WGD imposes on cytoplasmic …

Tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum) serve as the top leading commercial, non-food, and model
crop worldwide. Cyclic nucleotide-gated channels (CNGCs) are ligand-gated, calcium …

Trait-based approaches have gained growing interest in studying plant–microbe
interactions. However, current traits normally considered (eg, morphological, physiological …

The study of genome size evolution in a phylogenetic context in related polyploid and
diploid lineages can help us to understand the advantages and disadvantages of genome …

Background DFR is a crucial structural gene in plant flavonoid and polyphenol metabolism,
and DFR knockout (DFR-KO) plants may have increased biomass accumulation. It is …

The morphological and ecological intermediacy of hybrid taxa has long interested and
challenged fern biologists, resulting in numerous systematic contributions focused on …
