Influence of Pliocene and Pleistocene climates on hybridization patterns between two closely related oak species in China

Yao Li et al.

Summary: This study examines the relationship between present admixture patterns of two East Asian Cerris oaks and past climatic niche suitability, finding that paleoclimate change shapes present admixture patterns by influencing historical range overlap. Specifically, the mid-Pliocene warm climate promoted ancient contact and widespread hybridization, while the Pleistocene cool climate limited interspecific gene flow except in areas with high ecological stability.

Genome-wide evolutionary response of European oaks during the Anthropocene

Dounia Saleh et al.

Summary: The study used a retrospective approach to monitor genomic changes in oak trees since the Little Ice Age, revealing a shift of selection during recent periods of the Anthropocene. Genetic covariances of allelic frequency changes increased between successive time periods, mirroring documented changes in occurrence of extreme events over the last 300 years. Genomic regions with highest covariances were enriched in genes involved in plant responses to pathogens and abiotic stresses, supporting adaptive evolution of long-lived species during recent climatic changes.

Tissue-specific gene expression shows a cynipid wasp repurposes oak host gene networks to create a complex and novel parasite-specific organ

Ellen O. Martinson et al.

Summary: This study reveals that the cynipid wasp Dryocosmus quercuspalustris creates a complex parasite-specific organ from red oak tissue through massive changes in host gene expression. The results show the gall wasp not only modifies oak leaf tissue, but also induces extensive changes in gene expression between galled and ungalled tissue (differential expression in 28% of genes) and distinct gall tissue types (20% of genes).

Identification of Proteases and Protease Inhibitors in Seeds of the Recalcitrant Forest Tree Species Quercus ilex

Monica Escandon et al.

Summary: Proteases and protease inhibitors have been identified in the recalcitrant species Quercus ilex using in silico and wet methods, with a focus on their presence during seed germination. The study found that the Q. ilex transcriptome database contained a large number of proteases and protease inhibitors, with serine and metallo types being the most represented. Proteomics and activity assays revealed changes in proteases and protease inhibitors during germination, with different patterns observed in cotyledon and embryo axis tissues. The results highlight the importance of protein degradation and mobilization during the germination process in Quercus ilex seeds.

Summary: In a long-term study, the inoculation of cork oak roots with Phytophthora cinnamomi resulted in increased levels of proteins associated with various metabolic processes in the leaves, while several proteins related to cellular metabolic compound salvage and monosaccharide catabolic process showed decreased abundances. Proteomic analysis revealed the significant role of certain proteins, such as Ribulose 1,5-Bisphosphate Carboxylase small subunit (RBCS1A) and Heat Shock protein 90-1 (Hsp90-1), in the host-pathogen interaction mechanism. This study provides insights into the host immune response and proteome changes following pathogen inoculation in cork oak plants.

Summary: Adaptive divergence is crucial for speciation and species integrity, but the mechanisms, genes, and traits involved in reproductive isolation and adaptation of wild species are still largely unknown. Oak trees have emerged as potential model organisms for studying these processes due to their genetic diversity and longevity in natural habitats. The genomic underpinnings of adaptive divergence and maintenance of species integrity in oak trees, as well as the role of hybridization and adaptive introgression in adaptation to climate change, are key areas of ongoing research.
