The section Oleifera (Theaceae) has attracted attention for the high levels of unsaturated fatty acids found in its seeds. Here, we report the chromosome-scale genome of the sect. Oleifera using diploid wild Camellia lanceoleosa with a final size of 3.00 Gb and an N50 s...

Crassulacean acid metabolism (CAM) is a water-use efficient adaptation of photosynthesis that has evolved independently many times in diverse lineages of flowering plants. We hypothesize that convergent evolution of protein sequence and temporal gene expression underpins the independent emergences o...

BACKGROUND: Traditional Chinese medicine has used Peucedanum praeruptorum Dunn (Apiaceae) for a long time. Various coumarins, including the significant root constituents Praeruptorin (A-E), are the active constituents of the dried roots of P. praeruptorum. Previous trans...

We use untargeted metabolomics to investigate the immediate phytochemical effects of autopolyploidy on our model system, the greater duckweed Spirodela polyrhiza, a small aquatic macrophyte from the family Lemnaceae. We compare metabolite abundances in four genetically distinct diploid-a...

Isobutanol production has been demonstrated in E. coli and Z. mobilis using heterologous pathways, with titers reaching up to 60% of the theoretical yield under optimized conditions. However, these results often depend on impractical setups, such as continuous product extraction, oxygenation, or ...

Harmful algal blooms (HABs) of the toxic haptophyte Prymnesium parvum are a recurrent problem in many inland and estuarine waters around the world. Strains of P. parvum vary in the toxins they produce and in other physiological traits associated with HABs, but the genetic basis ...

225 years ago, Alexander von Humboldt observed the first crassulacean acid metabolism (CAM) tree, Clusia rosea (Clusiaceae). Since then, the photosynthetic and ecophysiological plasticity of Clusia

species have captivated the minds of plant scientists worldwide. CAM is a physiological adapt...

BACKGROUND: Plants exhibit wide chemical diversity due to the production of specialized metabolites that function as pollinator attractants, defensive compounds, and signaling molecules. Lamiaceae (mints) are known for their chemodiversity and have been cultivated for use as culi...

Tripterygium wilfordii is a vine used in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) from the family Celastraceae. The active ingredient celastrol is a friedelane-type pentacyclic triterpenoid, with a putative role as an anti-tumor, immunosuppression, and obesity agent. Here we reported a referen...

Adaptive evolution is generally assumed to progress through the accumulation of beneficial mutations. However, deleterious mutations may also have an important role by promoting adaptive genetic changes that are otherwise inaccessible. Here we study the capacity of the bakerM-bM-^@M-^Ys yeast genome...
