Sequencing of chloroplast genome using whole cellular DNA and Solexa sequencing technology

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2012
Sequencing of the chloroplast genome using traditional sequencing methods has been difficult because of its size (>120 kb) and the complicated procedures required to prepare templates.

Transcriptomic stress responses in Vaccinium spp. F1 hybrids: Implications for temperature‐resilient cranberry breeding using a crop wild relative

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Climate extremes threaten the sustainability of cranberry production, a culturally and economically important North American crop. This study demonstrates that wild cranberries (Vaccinium oxycoccos) harbor genetic variation that may enhance cold stress resilience when introduced into cultivated cranberry through hybridization.

Soybean (Glycine max L.) Nuclear DNA Contains Four tufA Genes Coding for the Chloroplast-specific Translation Elongation Factor EF-Tu

CHIMIA, 1993
The chloroplast tufA gene codes for the translation elongation factor EF- Tu. In algae like e.g. Euglena tufA is part of the chloroplast DNA but in land plants the equivalent gene is transposed to the nuclear DNA.

DNA REPLICATION AND SYNTHESIS OF DNABINDING PROTEINS IN THE CHLOROPLASTS OF A CALLUS CULTURE [PDF]

Journal of Sciences, Islamic Republic of Iran, 1995
Continuous labelling of callus with H-thymidine results in intermittent peaks of H-DNA per chloroplast, showing synchrony of division. The increase in H-DNA could be due to several replication rounds, and the drop to successive plastid divisions ...

The potential effect of megafaunal extinctions on modern conservation of horse chestnut Aesculus hippocastanum

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Many plant species worldwide are struggling to regenerate due to the ongoing effects of climate change. These effects appear to be further exacerbated by the loss of keystone megafauna, which were important seed dispersers. By identifying the traits commonly seen in seeds spread by modern elephants, it is possible to predict which species likely ...

Variability of organelle genomes in a collection of early maturing soybean varieties

Вавиловский журнал генетики и селекции
Variability of the genomes of cellular organelles (chloroplast and mitochondria) is an important component of the overall variability of the plant genome.

A synthetic eco‐evolutionary proposal for the conservation of wild relatives of the olive tree

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Societal Impact Statement Crop wild relatives (CWR) are valuable sources of genetic diversity for plant breeding. However, the identification of wild untapped genetic resources (i.e., unexploited in crops) is not always straightforward. We propose a methodology to guide the identification and conservation of these resources that integrates both genetic

Chloroplast DNA codes for transfer RNA

Nucleic Acids Research, 1976
Transfer RNA's were isolated from Euglena gracilis. Chloroplast cistrons for tRNA were quantitated by hybridizing tRNA to ct DNA. Species of tRNA hybridizing to ct DNA were partially purified by hybridization-chromatography. The tRNA's hybridizing to ct DNA and nuclear DNA appear to be different.

Gene turnover in the common ancestor of all C4 grasses

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Understanding how plants evolve more efficient photosynthesis is important in a warming world where improving crop productivity and resilience is a global priority. By generating the first reference genomes for an early‐diverging group of grasses called the Aristidoideae, we were able to reconstruct the genetic makeup of the last common ancestor of all

Plant species are more important to bacterial community composition than seeding ratio in a pea‐canola intercropping system

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Demand for agricultural land has increased due to rising demand for food, potentially leading to expansion into previously untouched habitats, which threatens refugia of native plants. We aimed to provide insight into how variation in seeding ratio may impact soil bacterial communities in a pea‐canola intercropping system, potentially altering crop ...
