Volatile Compounds Governed by Single Recessive Gene Impart Aroma in Sponge Gourd (Luffa cylindrica L. Roem)

open access: yesPlants, 2022
As a vegetable crop, sponge gourd is widely consumed worldwide due to its health promoting and nutraceutical value. This study describes genetics of an aromatic genotype VRSG-7-17 and deciphers the genetic control and volatile compound composition of ...

Amyloid prions in fungi [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Prions are infectious protein polymers that have been found to cause fatal diseases in mammals. Prions have also been identified in fungi (yeast and filamentous fungi), where they behave as cytoplasmic non-Mendelian genetic elements.

A selfish genetic element confers non-Mendelian inheritance in rice [PDF]

open access: bronzeScience, 2018
Sterility in rice via toxin and antidote Crossing wild and domestic rice often results in hybrid sterility. Such genetic barriers can prevent the movement of potentially beneficial genes from wild rice into domestic varieties. To understand the barriers preventing gene flow, Yu et al.

A Least Squares Regression Model to Detect Quantitative Trait Loci with Polar Overdominance in a Cross of Outbred Breeds: Simulation [PDF]

open access: yesAsian-Australasian Journal of Animal Sciences, 2013
A least squares regression interval mapping model was derived to detect quantitative trait loci (QTL) with a unique mode of genomic imprinting, polar overdominance (POD), under a breed cross design model in outbred mammals. Tests to differentiate POD QTL

Indels, structural variation, and recombination drive genomic diversity inPlasmodium falciparum [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
The malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum has a great capacity for evolutionary adaptation to evade host immunity and develop drug resistance. Current understanding of parasite evolution is impeded by the fact that a large fraction of the genome is ...

Meiotic drive of female-inherited supernumerary chromosomes in a pathogenic fungus

open access: yeseLife, 2018
Meiosis is a key cellular process of sexual reproduction that includes pairing of homologous sequences. In many species however, meiosis can also involve the segregation of supernumerary chromosomes, which can lack a homolog.

Allelic segregation and independent assortment in T. brucei crosses: proof that the genetic system is Mendelian and involves meiosis [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
The genetic system on Trypanosoma brucei has been analysed by generating large numbers of independent progeny clones from two crosses, one between two cloned isolates of Trypanosoma brucei brucei and one between cloned isolates of T. b.
