Chloroplast-specific universal primers and their uses in plant studies

open access: yesBiologia Plantarum, 2011
Universal (consensus) primers are those primers that have the ability to amplify the targeted region of DNA across a broad range of individuals in a certain group of organisms. In plants, such universal primers have been designed to target regions in the

A multiple-method approach reveals a declining amount of chloroplast DNA during development in Arabidopsis

open access: yesBMC Plant Biology, 2009
Background A decline in chloroplast DNA (cpDNA) during leaf maturity has been reported previously for eight plant species, including Arabidopsis thaliana.

Chloroplast DNA Diversity of Oak Species in Eastern Romania

open access: yesNotulae Botanicae Horti Agrobotanici Cluj-Napoca, 2010
The chloroplast DNA of 34 sessile oak (Quercus petraea) and 27 pedunculate oak (Q. robur) populations covering the entire natural distribution of the two oak species in Eastern Romania was investigated using four large regions of the chloroplast genome ...

DNA replication in chloroplasts

open access: yesJournal of Cell Science, 1993
ABSTRACT Chloroplasts contain multiple copies of a DNA molecule (the plastome) that encodes many of the gene products required to perform photosynthesis. The plastome is replicated by nuclear-encoded proteins and its copy number seems to be highly regulated by the cell in a tissue-specific and developmental manner.

Heteroplasmy of chloroplast DNA in Medicago [PDF]

open access: yesPlant Molecular Biology, 1989
Two chloroplast DNA (cpDNA) regions exhibiting a high frequency of intra- or inter-species variation were identified in 12 accessions of the genus Medicago. Restriction maps of both regions were prepared for alfalfa, and the probable nature of the events causing the DNA differences was identified.

The mitochondrial genome of soybean reveals complex genome structures and gene evolution at intercellular and phylogenetic levels. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2013
Determining mitochondrial genomes is important for elucidating vital activities of seed plants. Mitochondrial genomes are specific to each plant species because of their variable size, complex structures and patterns of gene losses and gains during ...

Recovery of chloroplast genomes from medieval millet grains excavated from the Areni-1 cave in southern Armenia

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2022
Panicum miliaceum L. was domesticated in northern China at least 7000 years ago and was subsequentially adopted in many areas throughout Eurasia.

Assembly-free reads accurate identification (AFRAID) approach outperforms other methods of DNA barcoding in the walnut family (Juglandaceae)

open access: yesPlant Diversity
DNA barcoding has been extensively used for species identification. However, species identification of mixed samples or degraded DNA is limited by current DNA barcoding methods.
