Highly Expressed Genes Are Preferentially Co-Opted for C4 Photosynthesis
Novel adaptations are generally assembled by co-opting pre-existing genetic components, but the factors dictating the suitability of genes for new functions remain poorly known. In this work, we used comparative transcriptomics to determine the attributes that increased the likelihood of some genes being co-opted for C4 photosynthesis, a convergent complex trait that boosts productivity in trop...
متن کاملMost photorespiratory genes are preferentially expressed in the bundle sheath cells of the C4 grass Sorghum bicolor.
One of the hallmarks of C4 plants is the division of labor between two different photosynthetic cell types, the mesophyll and the bundle sheath cells. C4 plants are of polyphyletic origin and, during the evolution of C4 photosynthesis, the expression of thousands of genes was altered and many genes acquired a cell type-specific or preferential expression pattern. Several lines of evidence, incl...

The question then is how the same neurons convey two different sorts of information. The answer is that motor giants are capable of generating two types of action potentials, small/slow calcium spikes and large/fast sodium spikes, depending on the degree of depolarization it receives. As opposed to the input from the ring giant, the input from the pacemaker is too low to trigger the sodium spik...
متن کاملGenes preferentially expressed in embryo stomach are predominantly expressed in gastric cancer.
Eight complementary DNA (cDNA) clones highly expressed in fetal rat stomach but not in normal adult rat stomach were isolated after screening 2 x 10(4) independent recombinants from a subtracted cDNA library. The cDNA library was first prepared from RNAs of total stomach at 16 days gestational period, and this cDNA library was subtracted by cDNAs prepared from adult rat total stomach RNA, using...
متن کاملPreferentially expressed genes in chronic myelogenous leukemia.
The predominant circulating cells in chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) morphologically resemble normal myeloid precursors; however, certain characteristics indicate the two are not identical. Approximately 88% of the patients with clinically typical CML present with a cytogenetic abnormality known as the Philadelphia chromosome (Ph1). Additionally, the leukocyte alkaline phosphatase (LAP) valu...
