Did convergent protein evolution enable phytoplasmas to generate 'zombie plants'?

F Rümpler, L Gramzow, G Theißen, R Melzer - Trends in plant science, 2015 - cell.com
Phytoplasmas are pathogenic bacteria that reprogram plant development such that leaf-like
structures instead of floral organs develop. Infected plants are sterile and mainly serve to …

[HTML][HTML] Sub-functionalization to ovule development following duplication of a floral organ identity gene

KD Galimba, VS Di Stilio - Developmental Biology, 2015 - Elsevier
Gene duplications result in paralogs that may be maintained due to the gain of novel
functions (neo-functionalization) or the partitioning of ancestral function (sub …

[PDF][PDF] Protein expression and characterization of SEP3 from Arabidopsis thaliana

Q Shi, J Zhou, P Wang, X Lin, Y Xu - Genet. Mol. Res, 2015 - geneticsmr.com
SEPALLATA (SEP) MADS-box genes play crucial roles in the regulation of floral growth and
