Plant Genome Diversity Volume 1: Plant Genomes, their by Lex E. Flagel, Benjamin K. Blackman (auth.), Jonathan F.

By Lex E. Flagel, Benjamin K. Blackman (auth.), Jonathan F. Wendel, Johann Greilhuber, Jaroslav Dolezel, Ilia J. Leitch (eds.)

In this well timed new 2-volume treatise, specialists from world wide have banded jointly to supply a first-of-its-kind synopsis of the intriguing and fast paced box of plant evolutionary genomics. In quantity I of Plant Genome variety, an replace is supplied on what we now have discovered from plant genome sequencing tasks. this is often via extra concentrated chapters at the numerous genomic “residents” of plant genomes, together with transposable parts, centromeres, small RNAs, and the evolutionary dynamics of genes and non-coding sequences. realization is attracted to advances in our figuring out of plant mitochondrial and plastid genomes, in addition to the importance of duplication in genic evolution and the non-independent evolution between sequences in plant genomes. eventually, quantity I offers an advent to the colourful new frontier of plant epigenomics, describing the present kingdom of our wisdom and the evolutionary implications of the epigenomic landscape.

(2010) Generally speaking, the genomes of eudicots contain fewer transposable elements relative to that of monocots, which have experienced recent and rampant LTR retrotransposon activity (SanMiguel et al.

Recent data point to this mechanism as an important force driving the evolution of maize LTR-retrotransposons (Sharma et al. 2008). Template-switching may also occur during the transposition of non-LTR retrotransposons (Garcia-Perez et al. 2007), and this mechanism may explain the chimeric structure and modular evolution of SINEs (Deragon and Zhang 2006). Exchange of sequences is also possible at the DNA level and may promote the diversification of DNA transposons, including Helitrons (Yang and Bennetzen 2009), providing a mechanism for the acquisition of host gene fragments by various plant TEs (Bureau et al.

2004) and at least one subfamily of CRM elements (CRM2) exhibit tightly phased positioning on CENH3-containing nucleosomes (Gent et al. 2011). Together these data point at a functional association of CRs with centromeric chromatin, although further experiments are needed to clarify the role of CRs in plant centromere biology. 4 Influence of Host Biology on Transposable Element Proliferation Factors acting at the level of the host and affecting the likelihood of fixation of TE insertions, subsequent decay (via nucleotide substitutions or indels), or their physical removal (via large deletions and other recombination events) may have a significant influence on shaping TE content over time.
