Journal ArticleDOI

Chenchen Zhao,Chenchen Zhao,Yuanyuan Wang,Kai Xun Chan,D. Blaine Marchant,Peter J. Franks,David Randall,Estee E-Ling Tee,Guang Chen,Sunita A. Ramesh,Su Yin Phua,Ben Zhang,Adrian Hills,Fei Dai,Dawei Xue,Matthew Gilliham,Steve Tyerman,Eviatar Nevo,Feibo Wu,Guoping Zhang,Gane Ka-Shu Wong,Gane Ka-Shu Wong,Jim Leebens-Mack,Michael Melkonian,Michael R. Blatt,Pamela S. Soltis,Douglas E. Soltis,Barry J. Pogson,Zhong-Hua Chen,Zhong-Hua Chen +29 more
TL;DR: The findings suggest that the conquest of land by plants was enabled by rapid response to drought stress through the deployment of an ancestral SAL1-PAP signaling pathway, intersecting with the core abscisic acid signaling in stomatal guard cells.
Journal ArticleDOI
PlantTribes: a gene and gene family resource for comparative genomics in plants
TL;DR: The PlantTribes database was used as a scaffold for sorting ∼4 million additional cDNA sequences from over 200 plant species, and SuperTribes, constructed through a second iteration of MCL clustering, connect distant, but potentially related gene clusters.
Journal ArticleDOI
Access to RNA-sequencing data from 1,173 plant species: The 1000 Plant transcriptomes initiative (1KP)
Eric J. Carpenter,Naim Matasci,Saravanaraj Ayyampalayam,Shuangxiu Wu,Sun Jing,Jun Yu,Fabio Rocha Jimenez Vieira,Chris Bowler,Richard G. Dorrell,Matthew A. Gitzendanner,Ling Li,Wensi Du,Kristian K. Ullrich,Norman J. Wickett,Todd J Barkmann,Michael S. Barker,Jim Leebens-Mack,Gane Ka-Shu Wong +17 more
TL;DR: The initiative's final/capstone publication on a set of 3 analyses inferring species trees, whole genome duplications, and gene family expansions based on de novo transcriptome assemblies and related gene predictions is published.
Journal ArticleDOI
Stout camphor tree genome fills gaps in understanding of flowering plant genome evolution
Shu-Miaw Chaw,Yu Ching Liu,Yu Wei Wu,Han Yu Wang,Chan Yi Ivy Lin,Chung-Shien Wu,Huei-Mien Ke,Lo-Yu Chang,Lo-Yu Chang,Chih-Yao Hsu,Hui Ting Yang,Edi Sudianto,Min Hung Hsu,Min Hung Hsu,Kun Pin Wu,Ling Ni Wang,Jim Leebens-Mack,Isheng J. Tsai +17 more
TL;DR: A high-quality reference genome of the stout camphor tree reveals its genome evolution and supports that magnoliid and eudicot lineages share more common ancestry relative to monocots.
Journal ArticleDOI
The evolution of CHROMOMETHYLASES and gene body DNA methylation in plants.
Adam J. Bewick,Chad E. Niederhuth,Lexiang Ji,Nicholas A. Rohr,Patrick Griffin,Jim Leebens-Mack,Robert J. Schmitz +6 more
TL;DR: The resulting gene family phylogeny of CMT transcripts from the largest collection of transcriptomes and methylomes across Viridiplantae provides novel insights into the evolution of gbM and its relationship to CHROMOMETHYLASE (CMT) proteins.
