Heterochrony and repurposing in the evolution of gymnosperm seed dispersal units
BackgroundPlant dispersal units, or diaspores, allow the colonization of new environments expanding geographic range and promoting gene flow. Two...

The genome of the gymnosperm Picea glauca encodes a single Nucleobase Cation Symporter 1 (PgNCS1) that displays a broad yet unique solute specificity profile
The Picea glauca genome contains a locus that encodes for a nucleobase cation symporter 1 (PgNCS1). As a gymnosperm, P. glauca belongs to a key...

Tissue-specific transposon-associated small RNAs in the gymnosperm tree, Norway spruce
BackgroundSmall RNAs (sRNAs) are regulatory molecules impacting on gene expression and transposon activity. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are responsible for...
