Gene duplication is increasingly recognized as an important mechanism for the origination of new genes, revealed by comparative genomic analysis. However, how duplicate genes contribute to phenotypic evolution remains largely unknown, especially in plants. Here, we identified gene EXOV, derived from a partial its parental EXOVL Arabidopsis thaliana. EXOV species-specific that originated within last 3.5 million years and shows strong signals positive selection. Unexpectedly, RNA-sequencing...
We introduce a novel framework for exploring the evolutionary consequences of phenotypic plasticity (adaptive and non-adaptive) integrating both genic epigenetic effects on phenotype via stochastic differential equations in-silico selection. In accordance with most significant results derived from prior models, we demonstrate how is differentially favored when subjected to small vs large environmental shifts, transiently favorable while accommodating new environment, decreases during epochs...
Abstract Gene duplication is increasingly recognized as an important mechanism for the origination of new genes, revealed by comparative genomic analysis. However, ways in which duplicate genes contribute to phenotypic evolution remain largely unknown, especially plants, owing a lack experimental and data. In this study, we identified gene Exov, derived from partial region its parental Exov-L , member exonuclease family, into different chromosome Arabidopsis thaliana . We experimentally...
