[HTML][HTML] The Norway spruce genome sequence and conifer genome evolution

…, K Sahlin, E Sherwood, M Elfstrand, L Gramzow… - Nature, 2013 - nature.com
Conifers have dominated forests for more than 200 million years and are of huge ecological
and economic importance. Here we present the draft assembly of the 20-gigabase genome …

The Selaginella genome identifies genetic changes associated with the evolution of vascular plants

…, C Finet, SK Floyd, WB Frommer, T Fujita, L Gramzow… - science, 2011 - science.org
Vascular plants appeared ~410 million years ago, then diverged into several lineages of
which only two survive: the euphyllophytes (ferns and seed plants) and the lycophytes. We …

[HTML][HTML] A hitchhiker's guide to the MADS world of plants

L Gramzow, G Theissen - Genome biology, 2010 - Springer
Plant life critically depends on the function of MADS-box genes encoding MADS-domain
transcription factors, which are present to a limited extent in nearly all major eukaryotic groups, …

[HTML][HTML] Dynamic genome evolution in a model fern

…, A Harkess, FW Li, C Rössner, A Becker, L Gramzow… - Nature Plants, 2022 - nature.com
The large size and complexity of most fern genomes have hampered efforts to elucidate
fundamental aspects of fern biology and land plant evolution through genome-enabled research…

Horizontal gene transfer and functional diversification of plant cell wall degrading polygalacturonases: key events in the evolution of herbivory in beetles

R Kirsch, L Gramzow, G Theißen, BD Siegfried… - Insect biochemistry and …, 2014 - Elsevier
Plant cell walls are the largest reservoir of organic carbon on earth. To breach and utilize this
carbohydrate-rich protective barrier, microbes secrete plant cell wall degrading enzymes (…

On the origin of MADS-domain transcription factors

L Gramzow, MS Ritz, G Theißen - Trends in Genetics, 2010 - cell.com
MADS-domain transcription factors are involved in signal transduction and developmental
control in plants, animals and fungi. Because their diversification is linked to the origin of …

MADS goes genomic in conifers: towards determining the ancestral set of MADS-box genes in seed plants

L Gramzow, L Weilandt, G Theißen - Annals of botany, 2014 - academic.oup.com
Background and Aims MADS-box genes comprise a gene family coding for transcription
factors. This gene family expanded greatly during land plant evolution such that the number of …
