genes (6 H4, 10 H3, 15 H2A, 11 H2B and 5 H1 genes) encoding 31 different
histone proteins (2 H4, 6 H3, 11 H2A, 7 H2B and 5 H1) were identified”.
The centromeric CenH3 is present ([[Moosmann and coll., 2011|biblio/21756361]]).
- - 2 cellulose synthase genes, possibly acquired by horizontal gene transfer
+ - 2 cellulose synthase genes CesA1 and CesA2, possibly acquired by horizontal gene transfer
from an actinobacteria ([[Nakashima and coll., 2004|biblio/14740209]]), were
found by [[Sagane et al. (2010)|biblio/20335363]] and [[Nakashima et al.
(2011)|biblio/20972815]]. They are used to produce different crystalline forms
- While _O. dioica_ was not reported on the atlantic and pacific coasts of Costa Rica, its
presence is considered plausible ([[Castellanos, Morales-Ramírez and Suárez-Morales,
2009|biblio/10.1007_978-1-4020-8278-8_41]]).
+ - _O. dioica_ was reported in Jamaica, where it was less abundant than _O. longicauda_
+ ([[Hopcroft and Roff, 1998|biblio/10.1093_plankt_20.3.557]]).
