Prolonged Adaptive Evolution of a Defensive Gene in the Solanaceae.

Molecular biology and evolution - 1 Jan 2016

Rausher Mark D, Huang Jie

Abstract excerpt

Although plants and their natural enemies may coevolve for prolonged periods, little is known about how long individual plant defensive genes are involved in the coevolutionary process. We address this issue by examining patterns of selection on the defensive gene threonine deaminase (TD). Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) has two copies of this gene. One performs the canonical housekeeping function in amino acid...
