For nearly a century, biologists, and botanists in particular, have been interested the determination documentation of chromosome numbers for extant taxa (reviewed Goldblatt & Lowry, 2011) as well extinct ones (Laane Hoiland, 1986; Masterson, 1994). These data widely used to evaluate evolutionary pattern number change estimate base clades interest. Chromosome also extensively utilized an important phylogenetic character context cytotaxonomy (Chatterjee Kumar Sharma, 1969; Schlarbaum...
Numerous studies of emerging species have identified genomic "islands" elevated differentiation against a background relative homogeneity. The causes these islands remain unclear, however, with some signs pointing toward "speciation genes" that locally restrict gene flow and others suggesting selective sweeps occurred within nascent after speciation. Here, we examine this question through the lens genome sequence data for five southern capuchino seedeaters, finch-like birds from South...
Abstract Background Cultivated watermelon form large fruits that are highly variable in size, shape, color, and content, yet have extremely narrow genetic diversity. Whereas a plethora of genes involved cell wall metabolism, ethylene biosynthesis, fruit softening, secondary metabolism during development ripening been identified other plant species, little is known the these processes watermelon. A microarray quantitative Real-Time PCR-based study was conducted [ Citrullus lanatus (Thunb.)...
The flowering pattern of watermelon species (Citrullus spp.) is either monoecious or andromonoecious. Ethylene known to play a critical role in floral sex determination cucurbit species. In contrast its feminizing effect cucumber and melon, ethylene promotes male flower development. cucumber, the rate-limiting enzyme biosynthesis, 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylate (ACC) synthase (ACS), regulates unisexual To investigate development, we isolated four genomic sequences ACS from (CitACS1-4)....
Abstract Local adaptation of plants along environmental gradients provides strong evidence for clinal evolution mediated by natural selection. Plants have developed diverse strategies to mitigate stress, example, drought escape is a phenological strategy avoid while polyploidy was proposed as genomic stress. Polyploidy an aridity (an parameter integrating temperature and precipitation) previously documented in annual Brachypodium spp. (Poaceae) the Western Mediterranean. Here, we examined...
