Gene essentiality and variability: What is the link? A within‐ and between‐species perspective
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2022 at "BioEssays"
DOI: 10.1002/bies.202200132
Abstract: A gene is considered essential when its loss of function results in a deleterious phenotype, hugely reducing the organism's viability or fitness. However, the link between the essentiality of a gene and its degree of… read more here.

Genetic signatures of plant resistance genes with known function within and between species
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2018 at "Genetica"
DOI: 10.1007/s10709-018-0044-9
Abstract: Plant disease resistance (R) genes have undergone significant evolutionary divergence to cope with rapid changes in pathogens. These highly variable evolutionary patterns may have contributed to diversity in R gene protein families or structures. Here,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41467-020-16839-9
Abstract: Recent studies show coordinated relationships between plant leaf traits and their capacity to predict ecosystem functions. However, how leaf traits will change within species and whether interspecific trait relationships will shift under future environmental changes… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41579-020-0368-1
Abstract: Studying within-species variation has traditionally been limited to culturable bacterial isolates and low-resolution microbial community fingerprinting. Metagenomic sequencing and technical advances have enabled culture-free, high-resolution strain and subspecies analyses at high throughput and in complex… read more here.

DOI: 10.1073/pnas.1803989115
Abstract: Significance Leaf traits, such as photosynthetic capacity, nitrogen concentration, and leaf mass per area, strongly affect plant growth and nutrient cycles. Understanding relationships among leaf traits is, therefore, a fundamental challenge in plant biology, crop… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/aob/mcac052
Abstract: BACKGROUND AND AIMS Plant performance is enhanced by balancing above- and belowground resource uptake through the adjustment of leaf and root traits. It is assumed that these organ adjustments are at least partly coordinated, so… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/molbev/msaa069
Abstract: Abstract The dN/dS ratio provides evidence of adaptation or functional constraint in protein-coding genes by quantifying the relative excess or deficit of amino acid-replacing versus silent nucleotide variation. Inexpensive sequencing promises a better understanding of… read more here.
