of sex is significantly reduced to the cost of producing male organs [10]. Many protists and algae even reproduce via isogamy and do not develop gender differentiation. Many fungi have dozens of different mating types, that is, genetically different hyphens, which equals to dozens of “...
Cloning and heterologous expression of one xylanase cluster and three types of cellobiose-metabolizing genes To better understand biochemical properties of lignocellulose-degrading gene clusters and cellobiose-metabolizing genes derived from this fosmid library, several genes have been verified before including...
The mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathways are pivotal regulatory mechanisms in all eukaryotes1. The canonical MAPK pathway consists of three types of enzymes (MAPK, MAPK kinase [MKK] and MAPK kinase kinase [MAPKKK]), which constitute signalling pathways where signal transmission operates v...

To identify potential outliers, we calculated Cook’s distance (D) for each analysis and removed effect sizes that had D greater than three times the mean (Cook 1977). All statistical analyses were conducted in R (R Core Team 2021). 3 Results 3.1 Host association has no significant effects...
Perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne L.) is one of the most important forage and turf grass species of temperate regions worldwide. Its mitochondrial genome is inherited maternally and contains genes that can influence traits of agricultural importance. Mo
At one level, this is not surprising. Mineral grains and similar debris are ubiquitous in aquatic environments, and the strategy of sticking them together to make a shell has been reinvented repeatedly in the evolutionary history of protists (agglutinating foraminifera,tintinnid ciliates), and animal...
1); the main missing groups represent large multicellular organisms or protists found in specific environments not sampled here (for example, anoxic environments; Supplementary Table 2). We also uncovered a proportion of novel diversity; that is, OTUs highly dissimilar to reference sequences that ...
7889 Accesses 87 Citations 85 Altmetric Metrics details Abstract Ecological theory is built on trade-offs, where trait differences among species evolved as adaptations to different environments. Trade-offs are often assumed to be bidirectional, where opposite ends of a gradient in trait values confer...
