Microbial symbioses have had profound impacts on the evolution of animals.Conversely,changes in host biology may impact the evolutionary trajectory of symbionts themselves.Blattabacterium cuenoti is present in almost ...

The legume-rhizobium symbiosis represents the most important system for terrestrial biological nitrogen fixation on land.Efficient nitrogen fixation during this symbiosis depends on successful rhizobial infection and ...
The primary endosymbiosis of cyanobacteria with primitive eukaryotes is assumed to have occurred in ancient times, leading to the formation of plants with chloroplasts. However, since this possibility has remained exp...

RNA-editing is a post-transcriptional modification that can diversify genome-encoded information by modifying individual RNA bases.In contrast to the well-studied RNA-editing in organelles,little is known about nuclea...

Endosymbiosis is the phenomenon where one organism lives inside another,usually in a mutualistic way.In this system,the hosts provide shelter and nutrients to the endosymbionts,who could affect the hosts in a physiolo...

Deep-sea mussels of the subfamily Bathymodiolinae are common and numerically dominant species widely distributed in cold seeps and hydrothermal vents.During long-time evolution,deep-sea mussels have evolved to be well...
The digestive gland of the apple snail Pomacea canaliculata lodges two types of pigmented corpuscles(identified as C and K corpuscles)which has been proposed as endosymbiont/s.Both corpuscular types are always present...
Mutualisms are cooperative interactions between members of different species. We focus on obligate mutualism, where each species cannot survive without the other. From a theoretical aspect, obligate mutualism is simil...
Recent technical advances in electrophysiological measurements, organelle-targeted fluorescence imaging, and organelle proteomics have pushed the research of ion transport a step forward in the case of the plant bioen...
Horizontal gene transfer (HGT) may not only create genome mosaicism, but also introduce evolutionary novelties to recipient organisms. HGT in plastid genomes, though relatively rare, still exists. HGT-derived genes ...
