Genome-Wide Analysis of TCP Transcription Factors and Their Expression Pattern Analysis of Rose Plants (Rosa chinensis).

A study identified 18 TCP genes in roses, classified into 2 subgroups. These genes have roles in growth, development, hormone signaling, and stress responses. Segmental duplication events led to the expansion of the TCP gene family in roses, suggesting new functions. Provides insights into regulatory mechanisms for plant growth and development.

Quantifying adaptive evolution and the effects of natural selection across the Norway spruce genome.

Genome sequencing of 25 Norway spruce individuals shows limited selection in coding regions and a correlation between adaptive substitutions and recombination rate, highlighting natural selection's role in shaping the species' genomic architecture. Specific targeted molecular functions and biological processes of selection were also identified.
