TL;DR: This complete developmental profiling provides an unprecedented examination of expression of NRs during embryogenesis, uncovering their potential function during central nervous system and retina formation and proposing that neofunctionalization of duplicated genes occurs at the levels of both protein sequence and RNA expression patterns.

TL;DR: The transpiration, sap flow, stomatal conductance and water relations ofPinus pinaster were determined during spring and summer in a 64-year-old stand in Ribatejo (Portugal), and the various estimates ofgc showed reasonable agreement.

TL;DR: This analysis reveals that steroidogenesis has been independently elaborated in the 3 main bilaterian lineages, and that steroidogenic cytochrome P450 enzymes descended from those that detoxify xenobiotics.

TL;DR: Investigation of the high number of STS genes in grapevine finds a few sites under different selection pressures in CHS and STS sequences, whose potential functional consequences are discussed using a structural model of a typical STS from grapevine that is developed.

TL;DR: It is found that sex-biased gene expression has evolved in autosomal and sex-linked genes in the dioecious species and supports a scenario in which sex- biased gene expression evolved during the evolution of dIOecy to resolve intralocus sexual conflicts over the allocation of resources.
