In the present investigation, the leaf proteome profile of the macro-mutant lines of Nigella sativa L. was analyzed to identify the key proteins involved in the expression of traits associated with the morphology, seed yield, and content of thymoquin...
It is argued that carcinogenesis and speciation are evolutionary events which are based on changes in the ‘karyotypic code’ through a phase of ‘genome instability’, followed by a bottleneck of selection for the viability and a...
Karyotype diversification represents an important, yet poorly understood, driver of evolution. Squamate reptiles are characterized by a high taxonomic diversity which is reflected at the karyotype level in terms of general structure, chromosome numbe...
Large-scale protein regulatory networks, such as signal transduction systems, contain small-scale modules (‘motifs’) that carry out specific dynamical functions. Systematic characterization of the properties of small network motifs is the...
The origin and inheritance of chromosome changes provide the essential foundation for natural selection and evolution. The evolutionary fate of chromosome changes depends on the place and time of their emergence and is controlled by checkpoints in mi...
Allopolyploidy through the combination of divergent genomes into a common nucleus at doubled dosage is known as a potent genetic and evolutionary force. As a macromutation, a striking feature of allopolyploidy in comparison with other mutational proc...
