Large-scale analyses of angiosperm Flowering Locus T genes reveal duplication and functional divergence in monocots by Hongling Liu, Hongling Liu, Xing Liu, Xiaojun Chang, Fei Chen, Zhenguo Lin, Liangsheng Zhang, Liangsheng Zhang

“…The FT genes in monocots can be divided into three clades (I, II, and III), whereas only one monophyletic group was detected in early angiosperms, magnoliids, and eudicots. Multiple rounds of whole-genome duplications (WGD) events followed by gene retention contributed to the expansion and variation of FT genes in monocots. …”

The complete chloroplast genome of Callicarpa rubella Lindl. (Lamiaceae) from Guangxi, China: genome structure and phylogenetic analysis by Huimin Cai, Xing Liu, Zhiwei Su, Zhonghui Ma

“…The cp genome of C. rubella was 154,202 bp in length and displayed a typical quadripartite angiosperm structure, containing two inverted repeat (IR) regions of 25,701 bp, a large single-copy (LSC) region of 84,968 bp and a small single-copy (SSC) region of 17,832 bp. …”

Expansion and evolutionary patterns of cysteine-rich peptides in plants by Xing Liu, Huping Zhang, Huijun Jiao, Leiting Li, Xin Qiao, Musana Rwalinda Fabrice, Juyou Wu, Shaoling Zhang

“…Results We identified 9556 CRPs in 12 plant species and analysed their evolutionary patterns. In most angiosperm plants, whole genome duplication and segmental duplication are the major factors driving the expansion of CRP family member genes, especially signal peptides. …”

Why is the beautyberry so colourful? Evolution, biogeography, and diversification of fruit colours in Callicarpa (Lamiaceae) by Xing Liu, Hui-Min Cai, Wen-Qiao Wang, Wei Lin, Zhi-Wei Su, Zhong-Hui Ma

“…Here, we used Callicarpa, a typical representative of pantropical angiosperm, to analyse whether fruit colours are correlated with biogeographic distribution, dispersal events, and diversification rate. …”

Comparative chloroplast genome and transcriptome analysis on the ancient genus Isoetes from China by Yujiao Yang, Xiaolei Yu, Pei Wei, Chenlai Liu, Zhuyifu Chen, Xiaoyan Li, Xing Liu

“…In addition, we identified 291–579 RNA editing sites in the chloroplast genomes of six Isoetes based on transcriptome data, well above the average of angiosperms. RNA editing in protein-coding transcripts results from amino acid changes to increase their hydrophobicity and conservation in Isoetes, which may help proteins form functional three-dimensional structure. …”
