Functional and evolutionary insights from the genomes of three parasitoid Nasonia species.

John H. Werren, +161 more
- 15 Jan 2010 - 
TL;DR: Key findings include the identification of a functional DNA methylation tool kit; hymenopteran-specific genes including diverse venoms; lateral gene transfers among Pox viruses, Wolbachia, and Nasonia; and the rapid evolution of genes involved in nuclear-mitochondrial interactions that are implicated in speciation.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Lateral suppressor (Ls) gene of tomato encodes a new member of the VHIID protein family

TL;DR: The isolation of the Lateral suppressor gene by positional cloning is reported and it is shown that the mutant phenotype is caused by a complete loss of function of a new member of the VHIID family of plant regulatory proteins.
Journal ArticleDOI

Surface hydrocarbons of queen eggs regulate worker reproduction in a social insect

TL;DR: Queen-derived hydrocarbon labels inform workers about the presence of a fertile queen and thereby regulate worker reproduction, which induces workers to refrain from reproducing.
