Genetic diversity and phylogeography of wild-sown and cultivated coconuts (Cocos nucifera L.) [PDF]

, 2011
The coconut (Cocos nucifera L.) is a pantropical strand plant, colonizing sandy insular beaches in the humid tropics. Cocos is a monotypic genus in the Cocoseae tribe (18/ca. 200 spp.) within the Arecaceae family.

Brachypodium SPEECHLESS2 Promoter Drives Expression of a Synthetic EPF to Reduce Stomatal Density in Sugarcane Without Pleiotropic Effects

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Stomata are microscopic pores that regulate the exchange of CO2 and water vapour, making them a major target for engineering plants with improved intrinsic water use efficiency (iWUE). Proof‐of‐concept studies have demonstrated the potential to increase iWUE by reducing stomatal density (SD) and stomatal conductance (gsw) by ubiquitously ...

Variation in nuclear genome size in a freshwater snail model system featuring a recent whole-genome duplication

Royal Society Open Science
Conspecifics often share—or are assumed to share—nuclear genome characteristics like nucleotide composition and genome size. These fundamental aspects of the nuclear genome can themselves be the object of natural selection. We here provide the first high-

Plastid Engineering for Photosynthesis‐Driven Synthesis of Hyaluronic Acid in Tobacco

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Hyaluronic acid (HA) is a glycosaminoglycan composed of alternating units of N‐acetylglucosamine and glucuronic acid. High moisture retention, viscoelasticity and biocompatibility are unique features that make HA polymers attractive compounds for medical applications and aesthetic purposes.

Polyploid races, genetic structure and morphological features of the earthworm Octodrіlus transpadanus (Rosa, 1884) (Oligohaeta: Lumbricidae) in the Ukraine [PDF]

, 2009
Kariological investigation of the earthworm Octodrilus transpada-nus (Rosa, 1884) in the Ukraine showed that this species is represented by at least three races of different ploidy with the basic chromosome number n=15. Strict geographic heterogeneity

TaRIP2 Positively Regulates Wheat Pollen Wall Formation Through MYB80‐Controlled Lipid Metabolism

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Male‐sterile genes and mutants are critical for hybrid seed production in monocotyledonous crops. Lipids are essential structural components of male reproductive organs, such as the anther and pollen. Here, we show that the pollen‐preferential gene TaRIP2 is essential for wheat anther development and pollen formation. RT‐qPCR analysis revealed

The PagDMG6341–PagWD40–PagPOLD4 Module Coordinates Base Excision Repair in ‘84K’ Poplar (Populus alba × P. glandulosa)

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Base excision repair (BER) is a critical pathway for repairing damaged DNA bases in cells; however, the mechanisms of protein recruitment and interaction in this pathway remain largely unexplored in higher plants. In this study, we used ‘84K’ poplar (Populus alba × P.
