Interfertile oaks in an island environment. II. Limited hybridization between Quercus alnifolia Poech and Q. coccifera L. in a mixed stand [PDF]
Hybridization and introgression between Quercus alnifolia Poech and Q. coccifera L. is studied by analyzing morphological traits, nuclear and chloroplast DNA markers. The study site is a mixed stand on Troodos Mountains (Cyprus) and the analyzed material includes both adult trees and progenies of specific mother trees.

Polymorphism of Chloroplast DNA in Citrus.
Chloroplast DNA (cpDNA) diversity was studied in Citrus, Poncirus and Fortunella, based on restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP). Total genomic DNA was digested with restriction endonucleases singly or in combination, Southern blotted, and hybridized with a Nicotiana tabacum cpDNA probe.

Upper Rhine Valley: A migration crossroads of middle European oaks [PDF]
The indigenous oak species (Quercus spp.) of the Upper Rhine Valley have migrated to their current distribution range in the area after the transition to the Holocene interglacial. Since post-glacial recolonization, they have been subjected to ecological changes and human impact. By using chloroplast microsatellite markers (cpSSRs), we provide detailed

Seven-Cluster Structure of Larch Chloroplast Genome [PDF]
The paper presents a novel approach to study a nucleotide sequence structure with respect to the chloroplast genome DNA sequence analysis. A specific frequencies distribution pattern of the consecutive triple nucleotide fragments was identified in the ...

Heteroplasmy of chloroplast DNA in Medicago [PDF]
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.

Comparative chloroplast genomics of three species of Bulbophyllum section Cirrhopetalum (Orchidaceae), with an emphasis on the description of a new species from Eastern Himalaya [PDF]
Background Chloroplast (cp) genomes are useful and informative molecular markers used for species determination and phylogenetic analysis. Bulbophyllum is one of the most taxonomically complex taxa in Orchidaceae.

Genome hybridization: A universal way for the origin and diversification of organelles as well as the origin and speciation of eukaryotes [PDF]
The origin of organelles (mitochondrion, chloroplast and nucleus) remains enigmatic. The endosymbiotic hypothesis that chloroplasts, mitochondria and nuclei descend from the endosymbiotic cyanobacterium, bacterium and archaebacterium respectively is dominant yet uncompelling, while our discovery of de novo organelle biogenesis in the cyanobacterium ...

Interspecific chloroplast genome sequence diversity and genomic resources in Diospyros
Background Fruits of persimmon plants are traditional healthy food in China, Korea and Japan. However, due to the shortage of morphological and DNA markers, the development of persimmon industry has been heavily inhibited.

Abstract Introduction Citrus greening (aka Huanglongbing, HLB) caused primarily by the bacterial pathogen Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus (CLas) has devastating effects on the global citrus industry. Agricultural management‐induced changes in microbial communities are hypothesised to contribute toward HLB resistance by reducing pathogen titre and ...

Chloroplast microsatellites: measures of genetic diversity and the effect of homoplasy [PDF]
Chloroplast microsatellites have been widely used in population genetic studies of conifers in recent years. However, their haplotype configurations suggest that they could have high levels of homoplasy, thus limiting the power of these molecular markers.
