Gene Family Expansion during the Adaptation of Colletotrichum gloeosporioides to Woody Plants.

This study shows that gene family expansions, particularly in glycosyde hydrolases (GHs) and cytochrome P450 proteins, played a crucial role in the adaptation of a phytopathogenic fungus to woody plants. Understanding this process can aid in making decisions for your lab's research on plant-pathogen interactions.

Genome-wide identification and expression analysis of WRKY gene family members in red clover (Trifolium pratense L.).

This study analyzed the gene family of WRKY transcription factors in a legume forage grass. They identified 59 genes and classified them into three groups. They found that some genes are induced by different abiotic stresses like drought, low temperature, MeJA, and ABA. These findings contribute to understanding stress resistance mechanisms in .

Genomic-wide identification and expression analysis of AP2/ERF transcription factors in Zanthoxylum armatum reveals the candidate genes for the biosynthesis of terpenoids.

Scientists analyzed the AP2/ERF gene family in Zanthoxylum armatum leaves. Four genes were identified as potentially involved in terpenoid biosynthesis. Methyl jasmonate treatment led to increased terpenoid content. This research provides insights for understanding and manipulating terpenoid production in Z. armatum.
