Journal ArticleDOI

Major Ecological Transitions in Wild Sunflowers Facilitated by Hybridization

TL;DR: The same combinations of parental chromosomal segments required to generate extreme phenotypes in synthetic hybrids also occurred in ancient hybrids, and this possibility was tested through phenotypic and genomic comparisons of ancient and synthetic hybrids.
Journal ArticleDOI

The sunflower genome provides insights into oil metabolism, flowering and Asterid evolution

TL;DR: It is found that the genomic architecture of flowering time has been shaped by the most recent whole-genome duplication, which suggests that ancient paralogues can remain in the same regulatory networks for dozens of millions of years.
Journal ArticleDOI

An F-box gene linked to the self-incompatibility (S) locus of Antirrhinum is expressed specifically in pollen and tapetum.

TL;DR: A novel F-box gene, AhSLF-S2, encoded by the S2 allele, with the expected features of the Sp gene was identified and defined a large gene family, named SLF (S locus F- box) family, which is highly polymorphic and is specifically expressed in tapetum, microspores and pollen grains in an allele-specific manner.
Journal ArticleDOI

Genomic islands of divergence are not affected by geography of speciation in sunflowers

TL;DR: It is found that genetic divergence is lower in sympatric and parapatric comparisons, consistent with a role for gene flow in eroding neutral differences, and the results indicate that the functional architecture of genomes plays a larger role in shaping genomic divergence than does the geography of speciation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Cross-talk among writers, readers, and erasers of m6A regulates cancer growth and progression

TL;DR: A previously undefined role for m6A in cancer is unveiled and it is shown that the collaboration among writers-erasers-readers sets up the m 6A threshold to ensure the stability of progrowth/proliferation-specific genes, and protumorigenic stimulus, such as hypoxia.
