Allelic Variation in Maize Malate Dehydrogenase 7 Shapes Promoter Methylation and Banded Leaf and Sheath Blight Resistance

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
In this study maize chloroplastic malate dehydrogenase7 (ZmMDH7), is identified as a Rhizoctonia solani resistance gene in maize. ZmMDH7 is regulated by transcription factor ZmWRKY44 via pathogens challenge to elevate mitochondrial ROS and SA signaling pathway.

Terniopsis chanthaburiensis (Podostemaceae), a new record for China and its complete plastid genome

Nordic Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
The genus Terniopsis consists of plants that have not been thoroughly studied, with many species remaining taxonomically unresolved. In this study, Terniopsis chanthaburiensis is reported as a new record of China based on morphological traits. Then, we assembled and annotated its chloroplast genome based on genome skimming data.

Phylogenomics and plastome evolution of Lithospermeae (Boraginaceae)

BMC Plant Biology
Background Lithospermeae is the largest tribe within Boraginaceae. The tribe has been the focus of multiple phylogenetic studies over the last 15 years, with most focused on one genus or a few genera.

Plastid genomics in horticultural species: Importance and applications for plant diversity, evolution and biotechnology

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2015
During the evolution of the eukaryotic cell, plastids and mitochondria arose from an endosymbiotic process, which determined the presence of three genetic compartments into the incipient plant cell. After that, these three genetic materials from host and

The non-photosynthetic, pathogenic green alga Helicosporidium sp. has retained a modified, functional plastid genome [PDF]

, 2004
A fragment of the Helicosporidium sp. (Chlorophyta: Trebouxiophyceae) plastid genome has been sequenced. The genome architecture was compared to that of both a non-photosynthetic relative (Prototheca wickerhamii) and a photosynthetic relative (Chlorella ...

Petrocodon gracilis (Gesneriaceae) is a synonym of P. mirus based on morphological and molecular data

Nordic Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Petrocodon gracilis T.Ding & B.Pan and P. mirus X.Z.Shi, J.X.Fu & Li H.Yang are two recently described species exhibiting nearly identical morphology. To determine whether they represent the same taxon, we compared their type localities, type materials, and morphological features and conducted phylogenetic analyses using the nuclear internal ...

Secrets within stems: The cryptic Apodanthes caseariae (Apodanthaceae), a rare neotropical holoendoparasite

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Holoendoparasites are extremely rare plants that live entirely hidden inside their hosts, with only flowers and fruits visible. We studied Apodanthes caseariae, found in central and South America, parasitizing Casearia sylvestris. Little is known about its life cycle.
