Glycosyltransferase Family 61 in Liliopsida (Monocot): The story of a gene family expansion by Cenci, A., Chantret, Nathalie, Rouard, M.

“…In grasses (Poaceae), a copy number expansion was reported for the GT61 family, which raised the question of the evolutionary history of this gene family. A phylogenetic study was performed on GT61 members from 13 species representing the major angiosperm clades to classify the genes, reconstruct the evolutionary history of this family and study its expansion in monocots. …”

Extensive gene tree discordance and hemiplasy shaped the genomes of North American columnar cacti by Copetti, Dario, Búrquez, Alberto, Bustamante, Enriquena, Charboneau, Joseph L. M., Childs, Kevin L., Eguiarte, Luis E., Lee, Seunghee, Liu, Tiffany L., McMahon, Michelle M., Whiteman, Noah K., Wing, Rod A., Wojciechowski, Martin F., Sanderson, Michael J.

“…Homoplasy can be elevated in genomes because individual loci may have independent evolutionary histories different from the species history. We sequenced the genomes of five cacti, including the iconic saguaro of the Sonoran Desert and three other columnar cacti, to investigate whether previously uncharacterized features of genome evolution might explain long-standing challenges to understanding cactus phylogeny. …”

Predicting the future of China's energy demand in terms of directed technological change by Zhang, Miao

“…With double-digit economic growth, mounting consumer demand and being roused industry potentialities, China’s ascendancy has been marked “the start of a new age in the history of energy.” Understanding the impacts of technological change and diffusion in a large carbon-intensive country like China is essential for getting acquainted with the future trajectory of global energy demand. …”

Genetic control of seed shattering during African rice domestication by Lv, S., Wu, W., Wang, M., Meyer, R.S., Ndjiondjop, M.N., Tan, L., Zhou, H., Zhang, J., Fu, Y., Cai, H., Sun, C., Wing, Rod A., Zhu, Z.

“…Functional characterization of SH3 and SH4 (another gene controlling seed shattering on chromosome 4) revealed that multiple genes can lead to a spectrum of non-shattering phenotypes, affecting other traits such as ease of threshing that may be important to tune across different agroecologies and postharvest practices. The molecular evolution analyses of SH3 and SH4 in a panel of 93 landraces provided unprecedented geographical detail of the domestication history of African rice, tracing multiple dispersals from a core heartland and introgression from local wild rice. …”

Introduction and spread of the cassava green mite, mononychellus tanajoa (Bondar) (Acari: Tetranychidae), an exotic pest in Africa and the search for appropriate control methods: a... by Yaninek , J.S., Herren, H.R.

“…This exotic mite of Neotropical origin has since spread to 27 countries, causing an estimated 13–80% reduction in cassava yield. The history of its introduction and spread in Africa is reported, and present knowledge on the taxonomy, biology, ecology and pest status of the mite, and the evolution of strategies to control it are reviewed. …”
