"GENOME DOUBLING occurs when an organism mistakenly gains an extra copy of every one of its genes during the cell division that occurs as part of sexual reproduction. The extra genetic material gives genome doubled organisms the potential to evolve new traits that can provide a competitive advantage." https://lnkd.in/e27U-gk View in LinkedIn

DOMINANT PLANTS. "Our world is an angiosperm world. The roughly 350,000 known species of flowering plants make up about 90% of all living plant species. Without them, we would have none of our major crops including those used to feed livestock, and one of the most important carbon sinks that mop up our carbon dioxide emissions would be missing." https://lnkd.in/e27U-gk View in LinkedIn

RELATIONAL WORLD. "It is as well to consider that scientists now also understand that, at a fundamental level, certain phenomena are best understood not as being composed of isolated entities that can be studied as such, but rather they can better be understood by means of the influence they have on other phenomena. In other words, by means of their systemic relationships, outside of which they in fact cease to be definable." https://lnkd.in/dvpgYsT View in LinkedIn

VIRAL AND BACTERIAL GENE DRIVERS. "Similar to the emergence and evolution of eukaryotic cells, evolution of land plants was also shaped and driven by infective and symbiotic microorganisms. These microorganisms are the driving force behind the evolution of plant synapses and other neuronal aspects of higher plants; this is especially pronounced in the root apices." http://journal.frontiersin.org/article/10.3389/fcimb.2013.00044/full View in LinkedIn
