Alternative splicing (AS) of precursor mRNAs (pre-mRNAs) from multiexon genes allows
organisms to increase their coding potential and regulate gene expression through multiple …

Recent analyses of sequence and microarray data have suggested that alternative splicing
plays a major role in the generation of proteomic and functional diversity in metazoan …

Polyploidy has long been considered a major force in plant evolution. G. Ledyard Stebbins,
Jr., an architect of the Modern Synthesis, elegantly addressed a broad range of topics, from …

Alternative splicing (AS) is common in higher eukaryotes and plays an important role in
gene posttranscriptional regulation. It has been suggested that AS varies dramatically …

Alternative splicing, a mechanism of post-transcriptional RNA processing whereby a single
gene can encode multiple distinct transcripts, has been proposed to underlie morphological …

Background Soybean is one of the most important crops, providing large amounts of dietary
proteins and edible oil, and is also an excellent model for studying evolution of duplicated …

Alternative splicing (AS) creates multiple mRNA transcripts from a single gene. While AS is
known to contribute to gene regulation and proteome diversity in animals, the study of its …

Allopolyploidy involves hybridization and duplication of divergent parental genomes and
provides new avenues for gene expression. The expression levels of duplicated genes in …

Auxin response factors (ARF) are key players in plant development. They mediate the
cellular response to the plant hormone auxin by activating or repressing the expression of …

Alternative splicing is a well‐characterized mechanism by which multiple transcripts are
generated from a single mRNA precursor. By allowing production of several protein isoforms …
