Histone deacetylase MiHDA3 enhances mango fruit resistance to Colletotrichum gloeosporioides by deacetylating MiCAT1

In mango (Mangifera indica L.), the histone deacetylase MiHDA3 interacts with and deacetylates the catalase MiCAT1 at lysine residues K227 and K233; this deacetylation reduces MiCAT1 stability and en...

How does #phenotypic #diversity relate to #genomic #evolution over #geological time?
In this #OpenAccess #PlantScience article, Yang et al. find that species diversification (SD) appears decoupled from both, highlighting the multidimensional nature of SD evolution.
