SNP Detection in Pinus pinaster Transcriptome and Association with Resistance t...
Modesto, Inês; Inácio, Vera; Novikova, Polina; Carrasquinho, Isabel; Van de Peer, Yves; Miguel, Célia M.Pinewood nematode (PWN, Bursaphelenchus xylophilus) is the causal agent of pine wilt disease (PWD), which severely affects Pinus pinaster stands in southwestern Europe. Despite the high susceptibility of P. pinaster, individuals of selected half-sib families have shown genetic variability in survival after PWN inoculation, indicating that breeding for resistance can be a valuable strategy to control PWD. In thi...
Insights into the mechanisms implicated in Pinus pinaster resistance to pinewoo...
Modesto, Inês; Sterck, Lieven; Arbona, Vicent; Gómez-Cadenas, Aurelio; Carrasquinho, Isabel; Van de Peer, Yves; Miguel, Célia M.Pine wilt disease (PWD), caused by the plant–parasitic nematode Bursaphelenchus xylophilus, has become a severe environmental problem in the Iberian Peninsula with devastating effects in Pinus pinaster forests. Despite the high levels of this species’ susceptibility, previous studies reported heritable resistance in P. pinaster trees. Understanding the basis of this resistance can be of extreme relevance for fu...
Mitochondrial genes from 18 angiosperms fill sampling gaps for phylogenomic inf...
Xue, Jia-Yu; Dong, Shan-Shan; Wang, Ming-Qiang; Song, Tian-Qiang; Zhou, Guang-Can; Li, Zhen; Van de Peer, Yves; Shao, Zhu-Qing; Wang, Wei; Chen, MinThe early diversification of angiosperms is thought to have been a rapid process, which may complicate phylogenetic analyses of early angiosperm relationships. Plastid and nuclear phylogenomic studies have raised several conflicting hypotheses regarding overall angiosperm phylogeny, but mitochondrial genomes have been largely ignored as a relevant source of information. Here we sequenced mitochondrial genomes f...

The genome of the seagrass Zostera marina reveals angiosperm adaptation to the sea
Olsen, Jeanine L.; Rouze, Pierre; Verhelst, Brain; Lin, Yao-Cheng; Bayer, Till; Collen, Jonas; Dattolo, Emanuela; De Paoli, Emanuele; Dittami, SimonSeagrasses colonized the sea(1) on at least three independent occasions to form the basis of one of the most productive and widespread coastal ecosystems on the planet(2). Here we report the genome of Zostera marina (L.), the first, to our knowledge, marine angiosperm to be fully sequenced. This reveals unique insights into the genomic losses and gains involved in achieving the structural and physiological adap...
