Novel Plastid-Nuclear Genome Combinations Enhance Resistance to Citrus Canker in Cybrid Grapefruit
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2019 Host disease resistance is the most desirable strategy for control of citrus canker, a disease caused by a gram-negative bacterium Xanthomonas citri subsp. citri. However, no resistant commercial citrus cultivar has been identified.

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2015 Determining whether individual genes function in the same or in different pathways is an important aspect of genetic analysis. As an alternative to the construction of double mutants, we used contemporary expression profiling methods to perform pathway ...

Plastid Division and Development [PDF]
The Plant Cell, 1999 Plastids are an important group of plant cellular organelles and comprise one of the primary features that distinguish plant cells from those of other eukaryotes. Plastids are thought to have arisen as a result of an endosymbiotic event in which an early photosynthetic prokaryote invaded a ...

The Puzzle of Plastid Evolution [PDF]
Current Biology, 2009 A comprehensive understanding of the origin and spread of plastids remains an important yet elusive goal in the field of eukaryotic evolution. Combined with the discovery of new photosynthetic and non-photosynthetic protist lineages, the results of recent taxonomically broad phylogenomic studies suggest that a re-shuffling of higher-level eukaryote ...

Regulation of Expression and Evolution of Genes in Plastids of Rhodophytic Branch
Life, 2016 A novel algorithm and original software were used to cluster all proteins encoded in plastids of 72 species of the rhodophytic branch. The results are publicly available at http://lab6.iitp.ru/ppc/redline72/ in a database that allows fast identification ...

A targeted capture approach to generating reference sequence databases for chloroplast gene regions
Ecology and Evolution, 2022 Metabarcoding has improved the way we understand plants within our environment, from their ecology and conservation to invasive species management. The notion of identifying plant taxa within environmental samples relies on the ability to match unknown ...

Rethinking plastid evolution [PDF]
EMBO reports, 2010 How easy is it to acquire an organelle? How easy is it to lose one? These questions underpin the current debate about the evolution of the plastid—that is, chloroplast—the organelle of photosynthesis in eukaryotic cells. The origin of the plastid has been traced to an endosymbiosis between a eukaryotic host cell and a cyanobacterial symbiont, the ...
