Microalgae are unicellular organisms that act as the crucial primary producers all over the
world, typically found in marine and freshwater environments. Most of them can live photo …

In the acyl-CoA-independent pathway of triacylglycerol (TAG) synthesis unique to plants,
fungi, and algae, TAG formation is catalyzed by the enzyme phospholipid: diacylglycerol …

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

Allopolyploidy in plants involves the merging of two or more distinct parental genomes into a
single nucleus, a significant evolutionary process in the plant kingdom. Transcriptomic …

Microalgae including diatoms are of interest for environmentally friendly manufacturing such
as production of biofuels, chemicals, and materials. The highly oil-accumulating marine …

Abstract Heat Shock Protein 101 (HSP101), the homolog of Caseinolytic Protease B (CLPB)
proteins, has functional conservation across species to play roles in heat acclimation and …

Recent advances in next generation sequencing technologies have allowed the discovery of
widespread autosomal allele-specific expression (aASE) in mammals and plants with …

The oleaginous diatom Fistulifera solaris is a promising producer of biofuel owing to the high
content of the lipids. A genetic transformation technique by microparticle bombardment for …

As two cultivated widely allotetraploid cotton species, although Gossypium hirsutum and
Gossypium barbadense evolved from the same ancestor, they differ in fiber quality; the …

The formation of interspecific hybrids results in the coexistence of two diverged genomes
within the same nucleus. It has been hypothesized that negative epistatic interactions and …
