Next-generation genetics in plants
Nature, 2008Natural variation presents one of the fundamental challenges of modern biology. Soon, the genome sequences of thousands of individuals will be known for each of several species. But how does the genotypic variation that will be observed among these individuals translate into phenotypic variation?

Mendelian Genetics of Apomixis in Plants
Annual Review of Genetics, 2007Apomixis, asexual reproduction through seeds, has the potential to revolutionize agriculture if its genetic basis can be elucidated. However, the genetic control of natural apomixis has remained obscure until quite recently, owing to all the complications of Mendelian genetics, such as epistatic gene interactions, components that are expressed ...

Cryopreservation of Plant Genetic Resources
2018Cryopreservation encompasses several interconnect disciplines including physiology and cryophysics. This chapter reviews the current techniques for cryopreservation of plant genetic resources (PGRs). Vitrification is an effective ice crystal avoidance mechanism for hydrated cells and tissues.

Genetic Toggle Switch in Plants
ACS Synthetic BiologyIn synthetic biology, genetic components are assembled to make transcriptional units, and transcriptional units are assembled into circuits to perform specific and predictable functions of a genetic device. Genetic devices have been described in bacteria, mammalian cell cultures, and small organoids, yet the development of programmable genetic circuits

Genetic flexibility of plant chloroplasts
Nature, 1999The chloroplast genome is thought to be monomorphic, or genetically uniform within individual plants1. But a single plant cell may contain several hundred chloroplasts, each containing up to 900 copies of DNA2, so there is a huge potential for accumulating and maintaining mutations.

Protoplasts in genetic modifications of plants
1981Rapid advances have been made in recent years in plant protoplast technology and research applications. Isolated protoplasts have been used successfully in virology and cell genetics. Protoplast fusion is feasible and a variety of hybrid cells of different plant genera have been produced.

The genetics of selenium accumulation by plants
2015Genetics is broadly defined as the study of how genes control the characteristics of organisms. In this chapter, emphasis has been placed on differences in metabolic pathways, and their associated genes, that could account for variation in the ability of angiosperm species to tolerate large tissue selenium (Se) concentrations.

History of Plant Population Genetics
Annual Review of Genetics, 1999▪ Abstract This review of plant population genetics focuses on the genetic foundations of the processes that have led to documentable improvements in cultivated plants since the earliest domestications took place perhaps 13,000 years ago. Nearly all human civilizations have depended heavily on inbreeding plants (particularly wheat, barley, soybeans ...

Dynamics of genets in clonal plants
Trends in Ecology & Evolution, 1993Processes related to dispersal, recruitment and survivorship of 'genetic individuals' in clonal plants have long been considered enigmatic. Little is known of whole life-cycle dynamics in these, usually, very long-lived plants. However, inferences may be drawn from studies of specific aspects of clonal plant populations, in particular seedling ...
