Lectin receptor-like kinases (LecRLKs) are membrane-bound receptor genes found in many plant species. They are involved in perceiving stresses and responding to the environment. Oat (; 2 = 6 = 42) are an important food and forage crop with potential in drought, saline, or alkaline soils.

Introduction: The mapping of the satellite DNA on chromosomes is vital to understanding the distribution and evolution of repetitions in the genome since these chromosomal studies have shown the origin, evolutionary mode, and function of repetitive sequences. This study aimed to prospect the satellitome and determine its location in the genome of two cryptic species of Hypostomus, H. aff.

Article Synopsis
  • - The study investigates the genomic similarities and differences within the BOP clade of the Poaceae family, particularly focusing on the genomes of rice, Brachypodium, and various diploid species in the tribe Aveneae, revealing significant genomic expansions and structural variations.
  • - Findings show that Avena chromosomes experienced a ten to fifteen-fold increase in size, characterized by uniform expansions, conserved gene block arrangements, and notable translocations of gene-rich segments during speciation, indicating deep evolutionary relationships.
  • - This research enhances understanding of evolutionary processes in the BOP clade, offering insights that can aid in biodiversity assessment, the creation of a comprehensive pangenome, and utilizing genomic diversity for breeding initiatives in grass species.
