Exploring genetic variation in the tomato (Solanum section Lycopersicon) clade by whole-genome sequencing [PDF]

The Plant Journal 80.1 (2014): 136-148, 2015
Genetic variation in the tomato clade was explored by sequencing a selection of 84 tomato accessions and related wild species representative for the Lycopersicon, Arcanum, Eriopersicon, and Neolycopersicon groups. We present a reconstruction of three new reference genomes in support of our comparative genome analyses.

Mytilus galloprovincialis-type foot-protein-1 alleles occur at low frequency among mussels in the Dutch Wadden Sea [PDF]

, 2002
The presence of M. galloprovincialis-type genes among the population of mussels in the Dutch Wadden Sea, historically described as M. edulis, was assessed.

Mimetic Butterflies Introgress to Impress

PLoS Genetics, 2012
The extent to which hybridization and the resulting interspecific gene flow (introgression) contribute to adaptation is a matter of great debate. On the one hand, fertile hybrids have the potential to transfer beneficial alleles between species [1] or even to spawn new species [2].

Dual‐pronged genome engineering: Enhancing crop resistance through elite allele pyramiding and susceptibility gene editing

iMetaOmics, EarlyView.
Developing durable crop disease resistance remains a primary breeding objective, achievable through pyramiding resistance genes and editing susceptibility (S) genes. A recent study identified 10 stable Verticillium wilt resistance genes and eight negative regulators via integrated genome‐wide association studies and transcriptome‐wide association ...

Genetic mixing in conservation translocations increases diversity of a keystone threatened species, Bettongia lesueur

Molecular Ecology, EarlyView., 2023
Abstract Translocation programmes are increasingly being informed by genetic data to monitor and enhance conservation outcomes for both natural and established populations. These data provide a window into contemporary patterns of genetic diversity, structure and relatedness that can guide managers in how to best source animals for their translocation ...

Correlation and the Structure of Introgressive Populations [PDF]

Evolution, 1966
Anderson (1949) has reviewed in detail the currently available techniques for the study of introgression. He has indicated (Anderson 1954, 1956, 1957) that the use of metroglyphs (the "pictures" used in pictorial scatter diagrams) is the most efficient means of analyzing suspected examples of introgression.

Differences in the suitability of published honey bee (Apis mellifera) reference genes between the African subspecies Apis mellifera scutellata and European derived Apis mellifera

Molecular Ecology, EarlyView., 2023
Abstract Quantitative real‐time polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) is a method widely used to determine changes and differences in gene expression. As target gene expression is most often quantified relative to the expression of reference genes, the validation of suitable reference genes is of critical importance.

Genetic integrity of the Dark European honey bee (Apis mellifera mellifera) from protected populations: a genome-wide assessment using SNPs and mtDNA sequence data [PDF]

, 2014
The recognition that the Dark European honey bee, Apis mellifera mellifera, is increasingly threatened in its native range has led to the establishment of conservation programmes and protected areas throughout western Europe.

Nutritional and industrial quality assessment of Spanish durum wheat commercial cultivars

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract BACKGROUND Durum wheat is the raw material used to produce pasta, and its price is determined by grain physical characteristics, gluten strength and semolina yellowness. Gluten strength is mainly determined by high‐ and low‐molecular‐weight glutenin subunits (HMW‐GS and LMW‐GS). Semolina yellowness is determined by loci that control carotenoid

Genomic evidence supports the introgression between two sympatric stickleback species inhabiting the White Sea basin

Heliyon, 2021
Interspecies hybridization is driven by a complex interplay of factors where introgression plays an important role. In the present study, the transfer of genetic material, between two quite distant fish species from different genera, through spontaneous ...
