There is an increasing demand to boost photosynthesis in rice to increase yield potential. Chloroplasts are the site of photosynthesis, and increasing their number and size is a potential route to elevate photosynthetic activity. Notably, bundle sheath cells do not make a significant contribution to overall carbon fixation in rice, and thus, variou...

Chloroplasts are the site of photosynthesis, and increasing the number and size of these organelles in the in leaf is a potential route to elevate leaf-level photosynthetic activity.

Chloroplasts are the site of photosynthesis. In land plants, chloroplast biogenesis is regulated by a family of transcription factors named GOLDEN2‐like ( GLK ). In C 4 grasses, it has been hypothesized that genome duplication events led to the sub‐functionalization of GLK paralogs ( GLK1 and GLK2 ) to control chloroplast biogenesis in two distinct...

In biological discovery and engineering research there is a need to spatially and/or temporally regulate transgene expression. However, the limited availability of promoter sequences that are uniquely active in specific tissue‐types and/or at specific times often precludes co‐expression of multiple transgenes in precisely‐controlled developmental c...

Cotton is one of the most economically important cultivated crops. It is the major source of natural fiber for the textile industry and an important target for genetic modification for both biotic stress and herbicide tolerance. Therefore, the characterization of genes and regulatory regions that might be useful for genetic transformation is indisp...

Employing reference genes to normalize the data generated with quantitative PCR (qPCR) can increase the accuracy and reliability of this method. Previous results have shown that no single housekeeping gene can be universally applied to all experiments. Thus, the identification of a suitable reference gene represents a critical step of any qPCR anal...

Engineering of plant protection requires well-characterized tissue-specific promoters for the targeted expression of insecticidal resistance genes. Herein, we describe the isolation of five different fragments of promoters of three distinct flower-specific cotton (Gossypium hirsutum) genes. Expression analyses of the three genes GhPME-like1, GhβGal...

We have analysed the efficiency of all mitochondrial protein coding genes and six nuclear markers (Adora3, Adrb2, Bdnf, Irbp, Rag2 and Vwf) in reconstructing and statistically supporting known amniote groups (murines, rodents, primates, eutherians, metatherians, therians). The efficiencies of maximum likelihood, Bayesian inference, maximum parsimon...

Supp 1. GeneBank accession numbers of mitochondrial and nuclear genes for each taxonomic group. Supp 2. Pair-wise proportion of different residues (p-distance) between all sequence pairs.

Ao se utilizar marcadores moleculares na recuperação filogenética diferentes genes, tanto mitocondriais quanto nucleares, podem gerar árvores distintas para um mesmo grupo de organismos. Para a análise de qual gene ou método é mais apropriado para recuperar uma filogenia é necessário uma árvore cuja topologia é conhecida. Tal árvore pode ser gerada...
