Transposable elements (TEs) are present in roughly all genomes. These mobile DNA
sequences are able to invade genomes and their impact on genome evolution is substantial …

Polyploidy, the possession of more than 2 complete genomes, is a major force in plant
evolution known to affect the genetic and genomic constitution and the phenotype of an …

The online resource http://www. plantrdnadatabase. com/stores information on the number,
chromosomal locations and structure of the 5S and 18S‐5.8 S‐26S (35S) ribosomal DNA s …

Transposable elements (TEs) and satellite DNAs (satDNAs) are typically identified as major
repetitive DNA components in eukaryotic genomes. TEs are DNA segments able to move …

Detailed comparative karyotype analyses have proved to be an important tool for taxonomy
and for understanding chromosome evolution. The basic principle of cytotaxonomy is that …

Nuclear genomes of human, animals, and plants are organized into subunits called
chromosomes. When isolated into aqueous suspension, mitotic chromosomes can be …

Abstract Background Mitogen Activated Protein Kinase (MAPK) signaling is of critical
importance in plants and other eukaryotic organisms. The MAPK cascade plays an …

Chromosome evolution is a fundamental aspect of evolutionary biology. The evolution of
chromosome size, structure and shape, number, and the change in DNA composition …

Endopolyploidy is a widespread process that corresponds to the amplification of the genome
in the absence of mitosis. In tomato, very high ploidy levels (up to 256C) are reached during …

The large size and complex polyploid nature of many genomes has often hampered
genomics development, as is the case for several plants of high agronomic value. Isolating …
