TL;DR: Analyzing the draft genome of the black cottonwood tree, Populus trichocarpa, revealed a whole-genome duplication event; about 8000 pairs of duplicated genes from that event survived in the Populus genome.

TL;DR: Through this case study of oak, the accumulation and transmission of somatic mutations and the expansion of disease-resistance gene families in trees are demonstrated.

TL;DR: This review makes use of the genomic data available following completion of whole-genome sequencing projects to analyze the structure of MAPK protein families in 24 fungal taxa, including both plant pathogens and mycorrhizal symbionts and proposes a unified fungal MAPK nomenclature derived from that established for the model species Saccharomyces cerevisiae.

TL;DR: This paper proposes and compares two FCA-based methods for mining numerical data and shows that they are equivalent and the first one relies on a particular scaling, encoding all possible intervals of attribute values, and uses standard FCA techniques.

TL;DR: It is established that saprotrophic wood decay and necrotrophic parasitism involve two distinct, yet overlapping, processes that show a trade-off in terms of constrained carbohydrate decomposition and membrane transport capacity during interaction with living hosts.
