This study employs three nuclear genes (PHYA, LFY, and GAI1) to reconstruct the
phylogenetic and biogeographic history of Magnoliaceae. A total of 104 samples …

Background The recent determination of complete chloroplast (cp) genomic sequences of
various plant species has enabled numerous comparative analyses as well as advances in …

Natural hybridisation was postulated between the closely related pine species Pinus
sylvestris and the P. mugo complex, however no clear evidence on propagation of mature …

On the basis of mycelial compatibility, the population structure of Valsa ceratosperma, the
causal fungus of Valsa canker on broadleaf trees, was investigated in apple and pear …

The reproductive isolation barriers and the mating patterns among Pinus pumila, P.
parviflora var. pentaphylla and their hybrids were examined by flowering phenology and …

We report the isolation and characterization of CjNdly, a homolog in Japanese cedar
(Cryptomeria japonica D. Don) of the FLORICAULA/LEAFY (FLO/LFY) genes. We …

Two apple genetic linkage maps were constructed using amplified fragment length
polymorphisms (AFLPs), simple sequence repeats (SSRs), random amplified polymorphic …

Hybrid zones of sympatric or allopatric species may represent intermediate stages in the
divergence of populations up to the level of full species (HEWITT, 1988). They have …

Bacterial colonies which were able to oxidize the manganese were isolated from six soil
samples in Byungchon area. Among them, one bacterial strain was selected for this study …

Executive Summary The JRC as Community Reference Laboratory for GM Food and Feed
(CRL-GMFF), established by Regulation (EC) No 1829/2003, has carried out an in-house …
