Complete sequencing of the mitochondrial genome of tea plant Camellia sinensis cv. ‘Baihaozao’: multichromosomal structure, phylogenetic relationships, and adaptive evolutionary an... by Zhiyin Chen, Zhiyin Chen, Zhiyin Chen, Zhiyin Chen, Zixu Wang, Zixu Wang, Zixu Wang, Zixu Wang, Wei Zhou, Wei Zhou, Wei Zhou, Wei Zhou, Sijie Liu, Sijie Liu, Sijie Liu, Sijie Liu, Yuxin Xiao, Yuxin Xiao, Yuxin Xiao, Yuxin Xiao, Yihui Gong, Yihui Gong, Yihui Gong, Yihui Gong

“…Adaptive evolutionary analysis, based on Ka/Ks ratios, was performed to investigate gene selection pressures.ResultsThe mitochondrial genome consists of 11 linear chromosomes, with a total length of 909,843 bp and a GC content of 45.62%. A total of 73 functional genes were annotated, among which 14 variable genes (e.g., ribosomal protein coding genes) retain intact functions without pseudogenization, which is rare among Theaceae plants. …”

An assessment of the likely impact of strain-related phenotypic plasticity on hominin fossil species identification by M. Collard, S.J. Lycett

“…We divided the measurements into three groups: measurements of features subject to high masticatory strain, measurements of features subject to low-to-moderate masticatory strain, and measurements of features that do not remodel and therefore are not prone to strain-related phenotypic plasticity. Next, we used the coefficient of variation and ANOVA to investigate whether masticatory strain is a cause of variability. …”
