Abstract The survival of plants, as sessile organisms, depends on a series postembryonic developmental events that determine the final architecture plants and allow them to contend with continuously changing environment. Modulation cell differentiation organ formation by environmental signals has not been studied in detail. Here, we report alterations pattern lateral root (LR) emergence response phosphate (Pi) availability is mediated changes auxin sensitivity Arabidopsis thaliana roots....
Polar bears (PBs) are superbly adapted to the extreme Arctic environment and have become emblematic of threat biodiversity from global climate change. Their divergence lower-latitude brown bear provides a textbook example rapid evolution distinct phenotypes. However, limited mitochondrial nuclear DNA evidence conflicts in timing PB origin as well placement species within versus sister lineage. We gathered extensive genomic sequence data contemporary polar, brown, American black samples,...
It has been argued that the evolution of plant genome size is principally unidirectional and increasing owing to varied action whole-genome duplications (WGDs) mobile element proliferation. However, extreme reductions have reported in angiosperm family tree. Here we report sequence 82-megabase carnivorous bladderwort Utricularia gibba. Despite its tiny size, U. gibba accommodates a typical number genes for plant, with main difference from other genomes arising drastic reduction non-genic...

Utricularia gibba, the humped bladderwort, is a carnivorous plant that retains tiny nuclear genome despite at least two rounds of whole duplication (WGD) since common ancestry with grapevine and other species. We used third-generation assembly several complete chromosomes to reconstruct most recent lineage-specific ancestral genomes led modern U. gibba structure. Patterns subgenome dominance in WGD, both architectural transcriptional, are suggestive allopolyploidization, which may have...
Maize (Zea mays) is the most widely cultivated crop around world; however, it commonly affected by phosphate (Pi) deficiency in many regions, particularly acid and alkaline soils of developing countries. To cope with Pi deficiency, plants have evolved a large number developmental biochemical adaptations; for maize, underlying molecular basis these responses still unknown. In this work, transcriptional response maize roots to starvation at 1, 3, 6, 10 d after onset deprivation was assessed....
