Gene duplication and evolutionary novelty in plants.
Duplication is a prominent feature of plant genomic architecture. This has led many researchers to speculate that gene duplication may have played an important role in the evolution of phenotypic novelty within plants. Until recently, however, it was difficult to make this connection. We are now beginning to understand how duplication has contributed to adaptive evolution in plants. In this rev...
متن کاملThe consequences of gene and genome duplication in plants.
www.sciencedirect.com The plant community has long suspected that at least some plant genomes have an abundance of duplicate genes. In the pre-genomic era, studies of duplicate genes were restricted to a few plant species in which duplication events could be easily recognized. The notion that maize is the product of an ancient polyploidization event was supported, in part, by the analysis of ge...
متن کاملPGDD: a database of gene and genome duplication in plants
Genome duplication (GD) has permanently shaped the architecture and function of many higher eukaryotic genomes. The angiosperms (flowering plants) are outstanding models in which to elucidate consequences of GD for higher eukaryotes, owing to their propensity for chromosomal duplication or even triplication in a few cases. Duplicated genome structures often require both intra- and inter-genome ...
متن کاملGene Duplication and Evolutionary Innovations in Hemoglobin-Oxygen Transport.
During vertebrate evolution, duplicated hemoglobin (Hb) genes diverged with respect to functional properties as well as the developmental timing of expression. For example, the subfamilies of genes that encode the different subunit chains of Hb are ontogenetically regulated such that functionally distinct Hb isoforms are expressed during different developmental stages. In some vertebrate taxa, ...
متن کاملRapid functional and evolutionary changes follow gene duplication in yeast
Duplication of genes or genomes provides the raw material for evolutionary innovation. After duplication a gene may be lost, recombine with another gene, have its function modified or be retained in an unaltered state. The fate of duplication is usually studied by comparing extant genomes and reconstructing the most likely ancestral states. Valuable as this approach is, it may miss the most rap...
