Rice(Oryza sativa)produces numerous diterpenoid phytoalexins that are important in defense against pathogens.Surprisingly,despite extensive previous investigations,a major group of such phytoalexins,the abietoryzins,w...
This corrigendum clarifies information in the review‘The power of“controllers”:Transposon-mediated duplicated genes evolve towards neofunctionalization’by Ma et al.(2023).The word“controllers”throughout the pape...

Naturally allotetraploid cotton has been widely used as an ideal model to investigate gene expression remodeling as a consequence of polyploidization.However,the global gene pattern variation during early fiber develo...
The realization that body parts of animals and plants can be recruited or coopted for novel functions dates back to, or even predates the observations of Darwin. S.J. Gould and E.S. Vrba recognized a mode of evolution...
Whole-genome duplications are an important source of evolutionary novelties that change the mode and tempo at which genetic elements evolve within a genome. The Cucurbita genus experienced a wholegenome duplication ar...
microRNAs (miRNAs) are an abundant class of-22 nucleotide (nt) regulatory RNAs that are pervasive in higher eukaryotic genomes. In order to fully understand their prominence in genomes, it is necessary to elucidat...
