Recent years have seen a surge in plant genome sequencing projects and the comparison
of multiple related individuals. The high degree of genomic variation observed led to the …

For decades, transposable elements have been known to produce a wide variety of changes
in plant gene expression and function. This has led to the idea that transposable element …

Gene duplications have long been recognized as a contributor to the evolution of genes with
new functions. Multiple copies of genes can result from tandem duplication, from …

Maize ARGOS 8 is a negative regulator of ethylene responses. A previous study has shown
that transgenic plants constitutively overexpressing ARGOS 8 have reduced ethylene …

Background The sharp increase of plant genome and transcriptome data provide valuable
resources to investigate evolutionary consequences of gene duplication in a range of taxa …

Abstract Pineapple (Ananas comosus (L.) Merr.) is the most economically valuable crop
possessing crassulacean acid metabolism (CAM), a photosynthetic carbon assimilation …

While prokaryotic pan-genomes have been shown to contain many more genes than any
individual organism, the prevalence and functional significance of differentially present …

MCScan is an algorithm able to scan multiple genomes or subgenomes in order to identify
putative homologous chromosomal regions, and align these regions using genes as …

Background Plants deploy immune receptors to detect pathogen-derived molecules and
initiate defense responses. Intracellular plant immune receptors called nucleotide-binding …

We summarize, in this review, the evidence that genomic balance influences gene
expression, quantitative traits, dosage compensation, aneuploid syndromes, population …
