…of cellular and developmental processes in animals. The mechanisms underlying BMP signaling activation differ among tissues and mostly reflect changes in the expression of pathway components. Using mathematical and genetics tools, we demonstrated that qualitative and quantitative evolutionary changes in BMP signaling depend on the type I BMP receptor. https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0006349512003372…
…ecology. To gain more understanding of Neurospora ecology, experiments were performed using natural substrates for ecological questions. Data in this paper supports the view that indigenous ascospores are likely source of inoculum for the colonization of Neurospora after wild fire and sensing light-perception in fungi is a fitness trait. https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1754504811001036…
…that is derived from a monolayer of follicular epithelium surrounding the developing oocyte within the female ovary. The bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) signaling pathway is essential for controlling the patterning and morphogenesis of the eggshell. We found that the type II BMP receptor is necessary for epithelial cells’ development. https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S001216061200677X#…
