Evolutionary Trajectories of Shoots vs. Roots: Plant Volatile Metabolomes Are Richer but Less Structurally Diverse Belowground in the Tropical Tree Genus <i>Protium</i> by Katherine D. Holmes, Paul V. A. Fine, Italo Mesones, Julieta Alvarez-Manjarrez, Andressa M. Venturini, Kabir G. Peay, Diego Salazar

“…In particular, divergence in plant species chemical composition—amongst neighbors, relatives, or both—is often suggested as a means of escape from insect herbivore enemies. Plants also experience strong pressure from enemies such as belowground pathogens; however, little work has been carried out to examine the evolutionary trajectories of species’ specialized chemistries in both roots and leaves. …”

<i>Trypanosoma cruzi</i>: Genomic Diversity and Structure by Alfonso Herreros-Cabello, Francisco Callejas-Hernández, Núria Gironès, Manuel Fresno

“…Trans-sialidases are the most prevalent genes in the genome with a key role in the infection process, while mucins and MASPs are also significant glycosylated proteins expressed on the parasite surface, essential for its biological functions, as host–parasite interaction, host cell invasion or protection against the host immune system, in both insect and mammalian stages. Collectively, in this review, some of the most recent advances in the structure and composition of the <i>T. cruzi</i> genome are reviewed.…”
