A first glimpse at genes important to the Azolla–Nostoc symbiosis
(Symbiosis, 2019-01-01)© 2019, Springer Nature B.V. Azolla is a small genus of diminutive aquatic ferns with a surprisingly vast potential to benefit the environment and agriculture, as well as to provide insight into the evolution of ... -
A novel chloroplast gene reported for flagellate plants.
(American journal of botany, 2018-01)PREMISE OF THE STUDY:Gene space in plant plastid genomes is well characterized and annotated, yet we discovered an unrecognized open reading frame (ORF) in the fern lineage that is conserved across flagellate plants. METHODS:We ... -
A step-by-step protocol for meiotic chromosome counts in flowering plants: A powerful and economical technique revisited.
(Applications in plant sciences, 2020-04-23)Premise:Counting chromosomes is a fundamental botanical technique, yet it is often intimidating and increasingly sidestepped. Once mastered, the basic protocol can be applied to a broad range of taxa and research questions. ... -
A worldwide phylogeny of Adiantum (Pteridaceae) reveals remarkable convergent evolution in leaf blade architecture
(Taxon, 2018-06-01)© International Association for Plant Taxonomy (IAPT) 2018, All rights reserved. Adiantum is among the most distinctive and easily recognized leptosporangiate fern genera. Despite encompassing an astonishing range of leaf ... -
An Empirical Comparison of Multiple Imputation Methods for Categorical Data
(The American Statistician, 2017-04-03)© 2017 American Statistical Association. Multiple imputation is a common approach for dealing with missing values in statistical databases. The imputer fills in missing values with draws from predictive models estimated ... -

An Exploration into Fern Genome Space.
(Genome Biol Evol, 2015-08-26)Ferns are one of the few remaining major clades of land plants for which a complete genome sequence is lacking. Knowledge of genome space in ferns will enable broad-scale comparative analyses of land plant genes and genomes, ... -
Bayesian variable selection in structured high-dimensional covariate spaces with applications in genomics
(Journal of the American Statistical Association, 2010-09-01)We consider the problem of variable selection in regression modeling in high-dimensional spaces where there is known structure among the covariates. This is an unconventional variable selection problem for two reasons: (1) ... -
Between two fern genomes
(GigaScience, 2014) -
Crowdfunding the Azolla fern genome project: a grassroots approach
(GigaScience, 2014) -
Do debit cards increase household spending? Evidence from a semiparametric causal analysis of a survey
(Annals of Applied Statistics, 2014-01-01)© Institute of Mathematical Statistics, 2014.Motivated by recent findings in the field of consumer science, this paper evaluates the causal effect of debit cards on household consumption using population-based data from ... -
E-Commerce and Industrial Upgrading in the Chinese Apparel Value Chain
(Journal of Contemporary Asia, 2019-01-01)© 2018, © 2018 Journal of Contemporary Asia. The economic and social gains from electronic commerce (e-commerce) that promote innovation, industry upgrading and economic growth have been widely discussed. China’s successful ... -
Fern genomes elucidate land plant evolution and cyanobacterial symbioses.
(Nature plants, 2018-07-02)Ferns are the closest sister group to all seed plants, yet little is known about their genomes other than that they are generally colossal. Here, we report on the genomes of Azolla filiculoides and Salvinia cucullata ... -
Gaga, a new fern genus segregated from cheilanthes (pteridaceae)
(Systematic Botany, 2012-10-01)Ongoing molecular phylogenetic studies of cheilanthoid ferns confirm that the genus Cheilanthes (Pteridaceae) is polyphyletic. A monophyletic group of species within the hemionitid clade informally called the "C. marginata ... -
Genes Translocated into the Plastid Inverted Repeat Show Decelerated Substitution Rates and Elevated GC Content.
(Genome biology and evolution, 2016-08-25)Plant chloroplast genomes (plastomes) are characterized by an inverted repeat (IR) region and two larger single copy (SC) regions. Patterns of molecular evolution in the IR and SC regions differ, most notably by a reduced ... -
Horizontal transfer of an adaptive chimeric photoreceptor from bryophytes to ferns.
(Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2014-05)Ferns are well known for their shade-dwelling habits. Their ability to thrive under low-light conditions has been linked to the evolution of a novel chimeric photoreceptor--neochrome--that fuses red-sensing phytochrome and ... -
Hydrological Response of East China to the Variation of East Asian Summer Monsoon
(Advances in Meteorology, 2016-01-01)Copyright © 2016 Fuxing Li et al.The sensitivity of hydrologic variables in East China, that is, runoff, precipitation, evapotranspiration, and soil moisture to the fluctuation of East Asian summer monsoon (EASM), is evaluated ... -
Is there foul play in the leaf pocket? The metagenome of floating fern Azolla reveals endophytes that do not fix N2 but may denitrify.
(The New phytologist, 2018-01)Dinitrogen fixation by Nostoc azollae residing in specialized leaf pockets supports prolific growth of the floating fern Azolla filiculoides. To evaluate contributions by further microorganisms, the A. filiculoides microbiome ... -
Maidenhair ferns, adiantum, are indeed monophyletic and sister to shoestring ferns, vittarioids (Pteridaceae)
(Systematic Botany, 2016-01-01)© 2016 by the American Society of Plant Taxonomists. Across the tree of life, molecular phylogenetic studies often reveal surprising relationships between taxa with radically different morphologies that have long obscured ... -
NCP activates chloroplast transcription by controlling phytochrome-dependent dual nuclear and plastidial switches
(Nature communications, 2019)
