+[[!pmid 15649342 desc="O. dioica has 83 homeobox genes. Lost groups of genes do not fully overlap between O. dioica and C. intestinalis, suggesting a larger common core in the ancestral tunicate."]]
- Defensome genes such as dehydrogenases and (Glutamate-cysteine ligase modifier subunit; Gclm)
are activated by polyunsaturated aldehydes produced by diatoms
([[Torres-Águila and coll., 2018|biblio/30272001]]).
+ - _O. dioica_ has 83 homeobox genes, according to [[Edvardsen and coll., 2005|biblio/15649342]].
