Selective constraints on codon usage of nuclear genes from Arabidopsis thaliana.

Molecular biology and evolution - 1 Jan 2007

Morton Brian R, Wright Stephen I

Abstract excerpt

Highly expressed nuclear genes from Arabidopsis thaliana show an increased frequency of codons that match abundant tRNAs, and it has been suggested that this reflects a selective pressure to increase translation efficiency. Here we explore the possibility that the difference in codon usage between highly expressed genes and other Arabidopsis genes is not the result of selection but, rather, arises from mutation...
