The Evolution of the FLOWERING LOCUS T-Like (FTL) Genes in the Goosefoot Subfamily Chenopodioideae

The assembly of the complete genome of the important crop Chenopodium quinoa made possible to identify and analyze the sequences of important regulatory genes. In this review, we focused on the FLOWERING LOCUS T-like (FTL) genes–the essential factors cont

Preface

For the 13th time now, we publish a book on concepts and applications in evolutionary biology. Our aim is to capture the evolution and progress of this field, and the Evolutionary Biology Meeting in Marseilles is a perfect basis to do so. The goal of this annual meeting is to allow scientists of different disciplines, who share a deep interest in evolutionary biology concepts, knowledge and applications, to meet and exchange and enhance interdisciplinary collaborations. The Evolutionary Biology Meeting in Marseilles is now recognised internationally as an important exchange platform and a booster for the use of evolutionary-based approaches in biology and also in other scientific areas. The book chapters have been selected from the meeting presentations and from propositions born by the interaction of meeting participants. The readers of the evolutionary biology books as well as the meeting participants would perhaps like to see a shift in the evolutionary biology concepts, which they have witnessed year after year in the different meetings and also in the books. However, the fact that the chapters of the books are selected from a meeting enables the quick diffusion of the novelties. We would like to emphasi
