The introduction of plant pathogens can quickly reshape disease dynamics in island agro-ecologies, representing a continuous challenge for local crop management strategies. Xanthomonas causing tomato bacterial spot were probably introduced Taiwan several decades ago, creating unique opportunity to study the genetic makeup and adaptive response this alien population. We examined phenotypic genotypic identity 669 pathogen entries collected across different regions last three decades. analysis...
Horizontal gene transfer (HGT) is a significant source of diversity in prokaryotes and key factor their genome evolution. Although similar processes have been postulated for eukaryotes, the validity HGT's impact remains contested, particularly between long-distance-related organisms like those from different kingdoms. Among fungal subphylum Pezizomycotina has frequently cited literature experiencing HGT events, with over 600 publications on subject. The proteomes 421 species were...
The flowering phenology of many tropical mountain forest tree species remains poorly understood, including synchrony and its drivers across neotropical ecosystems. We obtained herbarium records for 427 from a long-term monitoring transect on the northwestern Ecuadorian Andes, sourced Global Biodiversity Information Facility Herbario Nacional del Ecuador. Using machine learning algorithms, we identified phenophases digitized specimen labels applied circular statistics to build phenological...
Horizontal gene transfer (HGT) is a widely acknowledged phenomenon in prokaryotes for generating genetic diversity. However, the impact of this process eukaryotes, particularly interdomain HGT, topic debate. Although there have been observed biases HGT detection, little exploration has conducted on effects imbalanced databases. In our study, we experiments to assess how different databases affect detection using proteomes from Pezizomycotina fungal subphylum as focus group. Our objective was...
