The genome of black cottonwood, Populus trichocarpa (Torr. & Gray)

Gerald A. Tuskan, +115 more
- 15 Sep 2006 - 
TL;DR: The draft genome of the black cottonwood tree, Populus trichocarpa, has been reported in this paper, with more than 45,000 putative protein-coding genes identified.
Journal ArticleDOI

Populus: A Model System for Plant Biology

TL;DR: The relatively close phylogenetic relationship of Populus to Arabidopsis in the Eurosid clade of Eudicotyledonous plants aids in comparative functional studies and comparative genomics, and has the potential to greatly facilitate studies on genome and gene family evolution in eudicots.
Journal ArticleDOI

A heterozygous moth genome provides insights into herbivory and detoxification

TL;DR: The first whole-genome sequence of a basal lepidopteran species, Plutella xylostella, is reported, which contains 18,071 protein-coding and 1,412 unique genes with an expansion of gene families associated with perception and the detoxification of plant defense compounds.
Journal ArticleDOI

Three 4-coumarate:coenzyme A ligases in Arabidopsis thaliana represent two evolutionarily divergent classes in angiosperms.

TL;DR: Phylogenetic comparisons indicate that, in angiosperms, 4CL can be classified into two major clusters, class I and class II, with the At4CL1 and At 4CL2 isoforms belonging to class Iand At4 CL3 to class II.
Journal ArticleDOI

Biotechnology of flavonoids and other phenylpropanoid-derived natural products. part i: chemical diversity, impacts on plant biology and human health

TL;DR: The diversity and biosynthetic origins of phenylpropanoids and particularly of the flavonoid and stilbenoid natural products are discussed, referring on their effects on human health and physiology and their roles as plant defense and antimicrobial compounds.
