Journal ArticleDOI
Parent–progeny sequencing indicates higher mutation rates in heterozygotes
Sihai Yang,Long Wang,Ju Huang,Xiaohui Zhang,Yang Yuan,Jian-Qun Chen,Laurence D. Hurst,Dacheng Tian +7 more
TL;DR: It is shown that mutation rates are higher in heterozygotes and in proximity to crossover events, and a correlation between recombination rate and intraspecific diversity is in part owing to a higher mutation rate in domains of high recombination/diversity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Rapidly evolving R genes in diverse grass species confer resistance to rice blast disease
Sihai Yang,Jing Li,Xiaohui Zhang,Qijun Zhang,Ju Huang,Jian-Qun Chen,Daniel L. Hartl,Dacheng Tian +7 more
TL;DR: It is found that many rapidly evolving plant resistance genes (R genes) in maize, sorghum, brachypodium, and rice confer resistance to one or more strains of rice blast disease when present in a rice cultivar genome.
Journal ArticleDOI
Rapid evolution of avirulence genes in rice blast fungus Magnaporthe oryzae
TL;DR: The frequent deletion and gain of Avr-genes and rapid non-synonymous variations might be the primary mechanisms underlying rapid adaptive evolution of pathogens toward virulence to their host plants, and these features can be used as the indicators for identifying additional Avr -genes.
Journal ArticleDOI
The architecture of intra-organism mutation rate variation in plants.
Long Wang,Yilun Ji,Yingwen Hu,Huaying Hu,Xianqin Jia,Mengmeng Jiang,Xiaohui Zhang,Lina Zhao,Yanchun Zhang,Yanxiao Jia,Chao Qin,Luyao Yu,Ju Huang,Sihai Yang,Laurence D. Hurst,Dacheng Tian +15 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that some mutation rate variation between tissues is consistent with selectionist theory but that a mechanistic null of mutational fragility should be considered.
Journal ArticleDOI
Widely distributed hot and cold spots in meiotic recombination as shown by the sequencing of rice F2 plants
Weina Si,Yang Yuan,Ju Huang,Xiaohui Zhang,Yanchun Zhang,Yadong Zhang,Dacheng Tian,Cailin Wang,Yong-Hua Yang,Sihai Yang +9 more
TL;DR: The gene ontology (GO) categories showed that genes clustered within the recombination hot spot regions primarily tended to be involved in responses to environmental stimuli, suggesting that recombination plays an important role for adaptive evolution in rapidly changing environments.
