This study demonstrates that in the model plant species Arabidopsis thaliana, components of the signaling system of the plant hormone cytokinin also mediate plant immunity.
The authors suggest that differential gene regulation among members of a multigene family may be an important mechanism of molecular innovation in sex pheromone evolution and speciation.
This study finds that a Portuguese population of Drosophila melanogaster harbors large numbers of transposable element insertions not present in the reference genome.
