This study characterizes the circadian transcriptome of Rubroshorea leprosula, revealing conserved but less robust circadian rhythms compared to Arabidopsis.

The paper investigates the molecular evolution of terpene synthase genes in Fagaceae, revealing convergent evolution of isoprene synthase activity in two lineages within subgenus Quercus.

This study compares seasonal gene expression across four tree species, finding conserved winter rhythms and divergent summer patterns, suggesting a shared molecular calendar in winter.

The paper identifies the IspS gene responsible for isoprene emission in Quercus serrata and shows functional differences in related genes from non-emitting species.
