THE EVOLUTION OF SELFING. “Selfing has evolved in animals, fungi, and plants, and since Darwin's pioneering study, it is considered one of the most frequent evolutionary trends in flowering plants. Generally, the evolution of selfing is characterized by a loss of self-incompatibility, the selfing syndrome, and changes in genome-wide polymorphism patterns.” https://lnkd.in/dgPt-cE View in LinkedIn

SELFING IN INVASIVE PLANTS. “We found breeding-system data for a total of 1,752 species covering all major clades of angiosperms, from 161 families, and from all over the world” and their data supports a major selfing theory. https://lnkd.in/d5EUtN2 View in LinkedIn

FRAGMENT FROM NATURE continues from last weekend on the most prevalent protein fold in nature. These structures are widely used as templates for constructions across kingdoms. When mutations of these folds occur in viruses, where they originated, they result in non-infective particles. That the most plentiful life form would produce the most plentiful and flexible structures, acquired by lateral gene transfer, is probably of little surprise. View in LinkedIn

STRUCTURE ACROSS KINGDOMS. "The majority of capsids using the HK97-fold are of viruses infecting bacteria (bacteriophage or phage). However, this fold is also found in the coat protein floor domain of eukaryotic Herpesvirdae, including Herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1), murine cytomegalovirus (MCMV), pseudorabies virus (PRV), and rhesus monkey rhadinovirus (RRV), as well as the archaeal Haloarcula sinaiiensis tailed virus 1 (HSTV-1)."
