Genomic atolls of differentiation in coral reef fishes (Hypoplectrus spp., Serranidae).

abstract：:Photosynthetic tissues, the major food source of many invertebrates and vertebrates, are well defended. Many defence traits in leaves are controlled via the jasmonate signalling pathway in which jasmonate acts as a hormone by binding to a receptor to activate responses that lead to increased resistance to invertebrate...
