Intracellular gene transfer (IGT) events from the mitochondrial genome to the plastid genome of the subtribe ferulinae drude (Apiaceae) and their implications.

Background: Intracellular gene transfer (IGT) is a phenomenon in genome evolution that occurs between the nuclear and organellar genomes of plants or between the genomes of different organelles. The majority of the plastid genomes (plastomes) in angiosperms have a conserved structure, but some species exhibit unexpected structural variations.

Results: In this study, we focused on the Ferulinae, which includes Ferula, one of the largest genera in the Apiaceae family.

Extract Inhibits Obesity by Promoting Thermogenesis and Mitochondrial Dynamics in High-Fat Diet-Fed Mice.

Root extracts of (AT), a shrub native to China, have been shown to have antiviral and antitumor activities, but the anti-obesity effects of AT aerial parts, mainly the leaves and stems, have not been investigated.

Does the evolution of micromorphology accompany chromosomal changes on dysploid and polyploid levels in the Barnardia japonica complex (Hyacinthaceae)?

Background: Chromosome number and genome size changes via dysploidy and polyploidy accompany plant diversification and speciation. Such changes often impact also morphological characters. An excellent system to address the questions of how extensive and structured chromosomal changes within one species complex affect the phenotype is the monocot species complex of Barnardia japonica.
