Gene duplication and diversification drive the emergence of novel functions during evolution. Because of whole genome duplications, ciliates from the Paramecium aurelia group constitute a remarkable s
Rice is a facultative short-day plant (SDP), and the regulatory pathways for flowering time are conserved, but functionally modified, in Arabidopsis and rice. Heading date 1 (Hd1), an ortholog of Arab
Flowering of several plant species is induced by exposure to specific photoperiods that promote the expression of florigenic proteins in the leaves and their subsequent translocation to the shoot apex
Conserved retinoic acid response elements (RAREs) found in the Branchiostoma lanceolatum, Branchiostoma belcheri, and Branchiostoma floridae CYP26 clusters. B. lanceolatum RAREs recognized and bound b
