Generation of marker-free plastid transformants using a transiently cointegrated selection gene
TLDR
The generation of marker-free chloroplast transformants in tobacco is described using the reconstitution of wild-type pigmentation in combination with plastid transformation vectors, which prevent stable integration of the kanamycin selection marker.

Diversification of rhacophorid frogs provides evidence for accelerated faunal exchange between India and Eurasia during the Oligocene
TLDR
It is predicted that the Oligocene faunal exchange between the Indian subcontinent and Asia, as shown here for rhacophorid frogs, also applies for other nonvolant organisms with an Indian–Asian distribution, and is suggested that previous studies that deal with this faunaal interchange should be carefully reinvestigated.

Ancient animal microRNAs and the evolution of tissue identity
TLDR
Findings reveal that microRNA evolution and the establishment of tissue identities were closely coupled in bilaterian evolution, and outline a minimum set of cell types and tissues that existed in the protostome–deuterostome ancestor.

Identification of a cryptic lineage within Potamon fluviatile (Herbst) (Crustacea : Brachyura : Potamidae)
TLDR
Based on mitochondrial and nuclear DNA-sequence data, an evolutionary separate lineage is identified and described (Potamon pelops, sp. nov.) within the potamid freshwater crab species Potamon fluviatile (Herbst, 1785).

Folate biofortification in tomatoes by engineering the pteridine branch of folate synthesis.
TLDR
It is demonstrated that engineering a moderate increase in pteridine production can significantly enhance the folate content in food plants and that boosting the PABA supply can produce further gains.

Biotic interchange between the Indian subcontinent and mainland Asia through time
TLDR
A novel method to investigate the temporal dynamics of biotic interchange based on a phylogeographical meta-analysis by calculating the maximal number of observed dispersal events per million years given the temporal uncertainty of the underlying time-calibrated phylogenies is presented.
