Well-supported phylogenies using largest subsets of core-genes by discrete particle swarm optimization [PDF]

arXiv, 2017
The number of complete chloroplastic genomes increases day after day, making it possible to rethink plants phylogeny at the biomolecular era. Given a set of close plants sharing in the order of one hundred of core chloroplastic genes, this article focuses on how to extract the largest subset of sequences in order to obtain the most supported species ...

Comparative analysis of chloroplast and mitochondrial genomes of sweet potato provides evidence of gene transfer

Scientific Reports
The increasing number of plant mitochondrial DNA genomes (mtDNA) sequenced reveals the extent of transfer from both chloroplast DNA genomes (cpDNA) and nuclear DNA genomes (nDNA).

The complete chloroplast genome of a hemiparasitic plant Santalum boninense (Santalaceae), endemic to the Bonin (Ogasawara) Islands

Mitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2020
The complete chloroplast genome sequence of a hemiparasitic plant Santalum boninense (Santalaceae) was determined and described in this study. The chloroplast genome was 144,263 bp in length, consisting of a large single-copy region (83,912 bp), a small ...

The Pseudoenzyme β‐Amylase9 From Arabidopsis Activates α‐Amylase3: A Possible Mechanism to Promote Stress‐Induced Starch Degradation

Proteins: Structure, Function, and Bioinformatics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Starch accumulation in plants provides carbon for nighttime use, for regrowth after periods of dormancy, and for times of stress. Both ɑ‐ and β‐amylases (AMYs and BAMs, respectively) catalyze starch hydrolysis, but their functional roles are unclear.

RNAi technology development for weed control: all smoke and no fire?

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
Despite the potential of Spray‐Induced Gene Silencing in weed management several critical points such as molecular target, weed species of interest as well as delivery techniques need to be addressed. Abstract RNA interference (RNAi) technology, specifically Spray‐Induced Gene Silencing (SIGS), holds potential as an innovative approach for selective ...

Aminoisothiazolamides, a new class of potent inhibitors of lysyl‐tRNA synthetase

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
The present work covers a series of novel herbicidal lead structures that possess an aminoisothiazolamide scaffold as a structural key feature. Lysyl‐tRNA synthetase 1 (KRS1) was identified as the biochemical mode‐of‐action. Based on optimized and tailored synthetic approaches, a broader SAR study was carried out delivering some lead structures that ...

Comparative Chloroplast Genomes of Camellia Species

PLoS ONE, 2013
Camellia, comprising more than 200 species, is a valuable economic commodity due to its enormously popular commercial products: tea leaves, flowers, and high-quality edible oils. It is the largest and most important genus in the family Theaceae. However, phylogenetic resolution of the species has proven to be difficult.

The complete chloroplast genome of Sisymbrium irio

Mitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2018
The complete chloroplast genome of Sisymbrium irio was determined. The length of the complete chloroplast genome is 154,001 bp. The whole chloroplast genome consists of 83,891 bp long single copy (LSC) and 17,630 bp small single copy (SSC) regions ...

The evolution of chloroplast genes and genomes in ferns

Plant Molecular Biology, 2010
Most of the publicly available data on chloroplast (plastid) genes and genomes come from seed plants, with relatively little information from their sister group, the ferns. Here we describe several broad evolutionary patterns and processes in fern plastid genomes (plastomes), and we include some new plastome sequence data.

Next‐generation sequencing sheds new light on a major lineage of Acanthaceae, clarifying previously uncertain relationships in Barlerieae

TAXON, EarlyView.
Abstract The Acanthaceae tribe Barlerieae is an understudied lineage that consists of ca. 500 species, many of which are rare and range restricted. Though understudied, it is clear that many species play vital roles in tropical ecosystems, including supporting a wide range of pollinators and herbivores. The tribe contains 13 genera, the two largest and
