2006 journal article

Evolutionary patterns in the antR-Cor gene in the dwarf dogwood complex (Cornus, Cornaceae)

Genetica, 130(1), 19–34.

By: C. Fan n, Q. Xiang n , D. Remington *, M. Purugganan n & B. Wiegmann n 

author keywords: Cornus; gene evolution; hybridization; Myc-like anthocyanin regulatory gene; mucleotide polymorphism; polyploid; speciation
MeSH headings : Alaska; Amino Acid Sequence; Base Sequence; British Columbia; Color; Cornus / genetics; Evolution, Molecular; Flowers / genetics; Genes, Plant; Genetic Variation; Idaho; Molecular Sequence Data; Oregon; Phylogeny; Sequence Homology, Nucleic Acid; Washington; Yukon Territory
topics (OpenAlex): Plant and Fungal Interactions Research; Plant Parasitism and Resistance; Plant and animal studies
TL;DR: Seven amino acid mutations that are potentially linked to myc-like anthocyanin regulatory gene function correlate with petal colors differences that characterize the divergence between two diploid species and the tetraploids species in this dwarf dogwood complex, providing a working hypothesis for testing the role of the gene in speciation and its link to the petal coloration.

By: N. Houston n, C. Fan n, Q. Xiang n , J. Schulze n, R. Jung n & R. Boston n

MeSH headings : Base Sequence; Evolution, Molecular; Gene Expression Regulation; Molecular Sequence Data; Multigene Family; Oxidative Stress; Phylogeny; Plants / enzymology; Plants / genetics; Protein Disulfide-Isomerases / genetics; Sequence Homology, Nucleic Acid; Thioredoxins / genetics
topics (OpenAlex): Endoplasmic Reticulum Stress and Disease; Autophagy in Disease and Therapy; Fungal and yeast genetics research
TL;DR: A genome-wide search of Arabidopsis genes was carried out to identify plant PDI-like proteins, and a set of 22 PDIL proteins were identified that constitute a well-supported clade containing orthologs of known PDIs. (via Semantic Scholar)

2004 article

Heterogeneous evolution of the Myc-like Anthocyanin regulatory gene and its phylogenetic utility in Cornus L. (Cornaceae)

Fan, C., Purugganan, M. D., Thomas, D. T., Wiegmann, B. M., & Xiang, Q.-Y. (2004, October 5). Molecular Phylogenetics and Evolution, Vol. 33, pp. 580–594.

By: C. Fan n, M. Purugganan n, D. Thomas n, B. Wiegmann n  & Q. Xiang n 

author keywords: Cornus; heterogeneous evolution; myc-like anthocyanin regulatory gene; phylogenetics; positive selection
MeSH headings : Anthocyanins / genetics; Cloning, Molecular; Cornus / genetics; DNA Primers / genetics; Databases as Topic; Evolution, Molecular; Gene Deletion; Genes, Plant; Genes, myc; Models, Genetic; Mutation; Phylogeny; Polymerase Chain Reaction
topics (OpenAlex): Genomics and Phylogenetic Studies; Plant biochemistry and biosynthesis; Genetic diversity and population structure
TL;DR: Phylogenetic analyses demonstrate that the myc-like anthocyanin regulatory gene has potential as an informative phylogenetic marker at different taxonomic levels, depending on the data set considered (DNA or protein sequences) and regions applied (exons or introns). (via Semantic Scholar)

2003 article

Phylogenetic analyses of Cornales based on 26S rRNA and combined 26S rDNA‐MATK‐RBCL sequence data

Fan, C., & Xiang, Q. Y. (2003, September 1). American Journal of Botany, Vol. 90, pp. 1357–1372.

By: C. Fan n & Q. Xiang n 

author keywords: Cornales; Grubbiaceae; Hydrostachyaceae; incongruence; long-branch attraction; matK-rbcL; phylogenetics; 26S rDNA
topics (OpenAlex): Plant and Fungal Species Descriptions; Plant Diversity and Evolution; Plant Pathogens and Fungal Diseases
TL;DR: Nuclear 26S rDNA sequences were used to corroborate and test previously published matK-rbcL-based hypotheses of phylogenetic relationships in Cornales and suggested that Hydrostachys might be sister to the remainder of Cornales, that Cornus-Alangium are sisters, that nyssoids-mastixioids are Sisters, and that Hydrangeaceae-Loasaceae are sisters.

Molecular Phylogeneics and Evolution, 24(1), 35–57.

By: Q. Xiang n , M. Moody *, D. Soltis *, C. Fan n & P. Soltis *

author keywords: Cornales; Cornaceae; Hydrostachyaceae; Grubbiaceae; molecular phylogeny; rbcL; matK; long-branch attraction; RASA
MeSH headings : Cornaceae / classification; Cornaceae / physiology; Endoribonucleases / genetics; Genetic Variation; Models, Biological; Nucleotidyltransferases / genetics; Phylogeny; Ribulose-Bisphosphate Carboxylase / genetics; Sequence Analysis, DNA
