| genome scan reveals selection acting on genes linked to stress response in wild pearl millet. | uncovering genomic regions involved in adaption is a major goal in evolutionary biology. high-throughput sequencing now makes it possible to tackle this challenge in nonmodel species. yet, despite the increasing number of methods targeted to specifically detect genomic footprints of selection, the complex demography of natural populations often causes high rates of false positive in gene discoveries. the aim of this study was to identify climate adaptations in wild pearl millet populations, cenc ... | 2016 | 27664976 |
| no excess of cis-regulatory variation associated with intraspecific selection in wild pearl millet (cenchrus americanus). | several studies suggest that cis-regulatory mutations are the favorite target of evolutionary changes, one reason being that cis-regulatory mutations might have fewer deleterious pleiotropic effects than protein-coding mutations. a review of the process also suggests that this bias towards adaptive cis-regulatory variation might be less pronounced at the intraspecific level compared with the interspecific level. in this study, we assessed the contribution of cis-regulatory variation to adaptatio ... | 2017 | 28137746 |
| contact dermatitis due to plants. | forty-seven cases of suspected plant dermatitis were patch tested with extracts of various plants. twenty-six showed positive patch tests to one or more plant antigens. parthenium sensitivity was observed in nine cases. trianthema monogyna, carissa, carandus, amaranthus viridis, amaranthus spinosus, euphorbia hirta, euphorbia thymibolia, salvia plebia, lantana camera and pennisetum typhoides were other important plants founds to be responsible for contact sensitivity. majority of the patients we ... | 2017 | 28193929 |
