Contributors: J. Stanton-Geddes*, A. Nguyen *, L. Chick *, J. Vincent*, M. Vangala*, R. Dunn n , A. Ellison *, N. Sanders *, N. Gotelli *, S. Cahan *
author keywords: Aphaenogaster; Gene expression; Plasticity; Reactionome; Transcriptome
MeSH headings : Adaptation, Physiological / genetics; Animals; Ants / genetics; Biological Evolution; Climate; Cold Temperature; Gene Expression Regulation; Genes, Insect; Hot Temperature; Species Specificity; Transcriptome; United States

Temperature-dependent acetoin production by Pyrococcus furiosus is catalyzed by a biosynthetic acetolactate synthase and its deletion improves ethanol production
METABOLIC ENGINEERING, 34, 71–79.
author keywords: Archaea; Hyperthermophile; Genetic engineering; Acetolactate synthase; Acetoin; Ethanol
MeSH headings : Acetoin / metabolism; Acetolactate Synthase / biosynthesis; Acetolactate Synthase / genetics; Catalysis; Ethanol / isolation & purification; Ethanol / metabolism; Gene Deletion; Genetic Enhancement / methods; Metabolic Engineering / methods; Metabolic Networks and Pathways / physiology; Pyrococcus furiosus / genetics; Pyrococcus furiosus / metabolism; Temperature
TL;DR:
It is shown that P. furiosus produces acetoin (3-hydroxybutanone) as a major product at temperatures below 80°C and deletion of the als gene abolishes acetoin production, and that a strain of P.furiosus containing a novel pathway for ethanol production significantly improved the yield of ethanol.

Genomic Characterization of a South American Phytophthora Hybrid Mandates Reassessment of the Geographic Origins of Phytophthora infestans
MOLECULAR BIOLOGY AND EVOLUTION, 33(2), 478–491.
Contributors: M. Martin *, F. Vieira *, S. Ho *, N. Wales *, M. Schubert *, A. Seguin-Orlando *, J. Ristaino n , M. Gilbert *
author keywords: Phytophthora infestans; Phytophthora andina; plant disease; population genomics; phylogenomics; pathogen

TL;DR:
It is shown that basal branches of the clade comprising Mexican samples are occupied by clonal isolates collected from wild Solanum hosts, suggesting that modern Mexican P. infestans diversified on Solanums tuberosum after a host jump from a wild species and that the origins of P.infestans are more complex than was previously thought.

Enhancing Heat Tolerance of the Little Dogwood Cornus canadensis L.f. with Introduction of a Superoxide Reductase Gene from the Hyperthermophilic Archaeon Pyrococcus furiosus
FRONTIERS IN PLANT SCIENCE, 7.
author keywords: antioxidant enzyme; Cornus canadensis; genetic transformation; heat tolerance; Pyrococcus furiosus; reactive oxygen species (ROS); superoxide reductase (SOR)
TL;DR:
This is the first report of the successful demonstration of improved heat tolerance in a non-model plant resulting from the introduction of P. furiosus SOR, and demonstrates the potential of SOR for crop improvement and that inherent limitations of plant heat tolerance can be ameliorated with P.furiosu SOR.
