Development of a Highly Efficient Multiplex Genome Editing System in Outcrossing Tetraploid Alfalfa (Medicago sativa)

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2020
Alfalfa (Medicago sativa) is an outcrossing tetraploid legume species widely cultivated in the world. The clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR)/CRISPR-associated protein 9 (CRISPR/Cas9) system has been successfully used for ...

Evolutionary and Ecological Trees and Networks [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
Evolutionary relationships between species are usually represented in phylogenies, i.e. evolutionary trees, which are a type of networks. The terminal nodes of these trees represent species, which are made of individuals and populations among which gene ...

Plant Mating Systems Often Vary Widely Among Populations

open access: yesFrontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2018
Most flowering plants are hermaphroditic, yet the proportion of seeds fertilized by self and outcross pollen varies widely among species, ranging from predominant self-fertilization to exclusive outcrossing.

Gut microbiome dysbiosis is associated with host genetics in the Norwegian Lundehund

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2023
A group of diseases have been shown to correlate with a phenomenon called microbiome dysbiosis, where the bacterial species composition of the gut becomes abnormal.

Effect of gradual pollen presentation on pollination efficiency and reproduction of Vaccinium corymbosum Berkeley in two habitats

open access: yesFrontiers in Ecology and Evolution
IntroductionGradual pollen presentation is a reproductive strategy for plants to improve the efficiency and accuracy of pollen export and acceptance as well as to promote outcrossing.

Simulation and Assessment of Possible Environmental Risks Associated with Release of Genetically Modified Peas (Pisum sativum L.) into Environment in Central Europe

open access: yesCzech Journal of Genetics and Plant Breeding, 2005
Environmental risks connected with the release of genetically modified peas into the environment were studied in simulated field experiments. They included (1) an assessment of pollen transfer and the rate of natural outcrossing between commercial peas ...

Parasites opt for the best of both worlds

open access: yeseLife, 2019

Gene flow of oilseed rape (Brassica napus)according to isolation distance and buffer zone [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
The introduction of genetically modified (GM) crops in the EU has raised questions concerning gene dispersal and co-existence with non-GM farming. Quantitative estimates of the gene dispersal from fields with GM crops to fields with conspecific non-GM ...

Fhod3 in zebrafish supports myofibril stability during growth of embryonic skeletal muscle

open access: yesDevelopmental Dynamics, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Actin filament organization in cardiomyocytes critically depends on the formin Fhod3, but a role for Fhod3 in skeletal muscle development has not yet been described. Results We demonstrate here that in zebrafish mutated for one of two fhod3 paralog genes, fhod3a, skeletal muscle of the trunk appears normal through 2 days post ...

Ovaries with different heterozygosity levels of their genotypes have equal chances to reach maturity on a buckwheat plant: Is it the main condition for the start of the evolution toward selfing?

open access: yesТруды по прикладной ботанике, генетике и селекции
Background. Inbreeding depression (ID) usually reduces the competitive ability of an individual compared to one of outbred origin. Such competition could be especially clear between different ovaries developing on the same plant.
