Acerca de este libro electrónico
Plants Steal Genes unveils the surprising role of horizontal gene transfer (HGT) in plant evolution, demonstrating how plants acquire genes from bacteria, fungi, and other species, rather than solely from their ancestors.
This challenges the traditional ""tree of life"" concept, suggesting a more interconnected web where genetic information flows laterally.
Understanding HGT is vital, especially considering its implications for plant biotechnology and agriculture.

Understanding HGT is vital, especially considering its implications for plant biotechnology and agriculture.
For instance, HGT contributes to the spread of herbicide resistance, a major concern in crop management.
The book meticulously builds its case, beginning with the history of HGT research and the molecular mechanisms behind it.
Case studies illustrate HGT events in diverse plant species, focusing on traits like stress tolerance and pathogen defense.
The evolutionary consequences of this genetic acquisition are then analyzed, emphasizing its impact on plant genomes, adaptation, and even speciation.
This approach makes complex topics accessible to a broad audience interested in science, life sciences, biology, and biotechnology.
