Journal ArticleDOI

The unusual system of doubly uniparental inheritance of mtDNA : isn't one enough?

TL;DR: This review surveys recent advances in the understanding of DUI, which is a peculiar system of cytoplasmic DNA inheritance that involves distinct maternal and paternal routes of mtDNA transmission, a novel extension of a mitochondrial gene (cox2), recombination, and periodic 'role-reversals' of the normally male and female-transmitted mitochondrial genomes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Natural selection and the evolution of mtDNA-encoded peptides: evidence for intergenomic co-adaptation

TL;DR: Direct evidence for intergenomic co-adaptation comes from functional studies of systems where nuclear-mitochondrial DNA combinations vary naturally or can be manipulated experimentally.
Journal ArticleDOI

Do digestive enzymes set a physiological limit on growth rate and food conversion efficiency in the Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua)

TL;DR: The conclusion is that, at the level of digestion, trypsin is the only enzyme measured that could be suspected to potentially limit growth rate in cod.
Journal ArticleDOI

Electrophysiological investigations on the effect of repeated zimelidine administration on serotonergic neurotransmission in the rat.

TL;DR: It is concluded that long-term zimelidine treatment enhances the efficacy of 5-HT neurotransmission in the hippocampus, however, the reuptake blockade by zimElidine cannot result in an enhanced 5-ht neurotransmission until 5- HT neurons resume a normal electrical activity.
Journal ArticleDOI

Mitochondrial phylogenomics of the Bivalvia (Mollusca): searching for the origin and mitogenomic correlates of doubly uniparental inheritance of mtDNA

TL;DR: The basal nature of the Unionoida within the autolamellibranch bivalve bivalves and the previously hypothesized single origin of DUI suggest that DUI arose in the ancestral autlamelliberation bivalving lineage and was subsequently lost in multiple descendant lineages and the mitochondrial genome characteristics observed in unionoids could more closely resemble the DUI ancestral condition.
