Open AccessA fungal sesquiterpene biosynthesis gene cluster critical for mutualist-pathogen transition in Colletotrichum tofieldiae
Plant-associated fungi show diverse lifestyles from pathogenic to mutualistic to the host; however, the principles and mechanisms through which they shift the lifestyles require elucidation. The root fungus Colle...

Open AccessAssessment of Polygala paniculata (Polygalaceae) characteristics for evolutionary studies of legume–rhizobia symbiosis
Root nodule (RN) symbiosis is a mutualistic interaction observed between nitrogen-fixing soil bacteria and nodulating plants, which are scattered in only four orders of angiosperms called nitrogen-fixing clade...

Wide distribution range of rhizobial symbionts associated with pantropical sea-dispersed legumes
To understand the geographic distributions of rhizobia that associated with widely distributed wild legumes, 66 nodules obtained from 41 individuals including three sea-dispersed legumes (Vigna marina, Vigna lute...

Phylogenetic analysis of NAP, an unconventional actin of the Volvocales
The unicellular green alga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii has two actin genes, one encoding a conventional actin and the other an unconventional actin called novel actin-like protein (NAP). These actins apparently dif...

Dynamic morphologies of pollen plastids visualised by vegetative-specific FtsZ1–GFP in Arabidopsis thaliana
The behaviour and multiplication of pollen plastids have remained elusive despite their crucial involvement in cytoplasmic inheritance. Here, we present live images of plastids in pollen grains and growing tub...

Resurrection of an ancestral gene: functional and evolutionary analyses of the Ngrol genes transferred from Agrobacterium to Nicotiana
The Ngrol genes, which have high similarity in sequence to the rol genes of Agrobacterium rhizogenes, are present in the genome of untransformed plants of Nicotiana glauca. It is thought that bacterial infection ...

Phylogeny and divergence of basal angiosperms inferred from APETALA3- and PISTILLATA-like MADS-box genes
The B-class MADS-box genes composed of APETALA3 (AP3) and PISTILLATA (PI) lineages play an important role in petal and stamen identity in previously studied flowering plants. We investigated the diversification o...

Sequence of the cellular T-DNA in the untransformed genome of Nicotiana glauca that is homologous to ORFs 13 and 14 of the Ri plasmid and analysis of its expression in genetic tumors of N. glauca x N. langsdorffii
A region homologous to the TL-DNA of Agrobacterium rhizogenes was previously detected in the genome of untransformed Nicotiana glauca and designated cellular T-DNA (cT-DNA). Subsequently, part of this region was ...
