we first performed comparative analysis of genes critical for the development of the pallium (Emx1/2andPax6) and subpallium (Dlx2andNkx1/2) among 500 vertebrate species. We found that these genes have no obvious variations in chromosomal duplication/loss...
The vascular plant-specific plastid transporter XPT is capable of transporting xylulose 5-phosphate (X5-P) and only a small amount of erythrose 4-phosphate (E4-P)16. Similar to plants, the GPT, PPT, and TPT homologues were identified in the red alga Galdieria sulphuraria13,17, although the...
The second class of molecular genetic changes constitutes of nucleotide substitutions that may cause functional changes in both protein coding and non-coding RNAs. The third category of molecular changes consists of variation in the levels of gene expression between species and in the mechanisms ...
This class of proteins includes an ubiquitous and very interesting group, referred to as the RND (Resistance-Nodulation-Cell-Division) superfamily, that is mainly involved in drug resistance of Gram-negative bacteria [11, 12]. Functionally characterized members of this superfamily fall into eight dif...
In this review, we discuss the evolution and biology of whitefly endosymbionts and their interactions with plant viruses. We focus on the primary and secondary endosymbionts of the species B. tabaci, in which the roles of endosymbionts are complex and complicated by the diversity of secondary en...

organs, such as leaves and roots, evolved multiple times independently over the course of land plant evolution. In this review, we summarize the current knowledge on the evolution of the land plant body plan by combining evidence of the fossil record, phylogenetics, and developmental biology. ...

Polarity of strand invasion was established on the basis of which repeat-flanking region displayed an increase in sequence depth and, in the case of class I repeats, a concomitant decrease in sequence depth across the other repeat-flanking region. Full size image Sequence analysis of the ...
PL10 homologs exist in a wide range of eukaryotes from yeast, plants to animals. They share a DEAD motif and belong to the DEAD-box polypeptide 3 (DDX3) subfamily with a major role in RNA metabolism. The lineage-specific expression patterns and various g
