In eukaryotes, DNA is exchanged between endosymbiosis-derived compartments
(mitochondria and chloroplasts) and the nucleus. Organelle-to-nucleus DNA transfer …

Horizontal gene transfer (HGT) is increasingly being recognized as a significant force in the
evolution of eukaryotic genomes. Plants have been both donors and recipients of …

The Science of Grapevines, Third Edition reflects the latest insights into cultivar
relationships, vascular transport, hormone action, and stress responses of grapevines …

Real-time RT-PCR is a powerful technique for the measurement of gene expression, but its
accuracy depends on the stability of the internal reference gene (s) used for data …

B chromosomes (Bs) are dispensable components of the genome exhibiting non-Mendelian
inheritance and have been widely reported on over several thousand eukaryotes, but still …

Chloroplasts are essential organelles, in which genes have widely been used in the
phylogenetic analysis of green plants. Here, we took advantage of the breadth of plastid …

An optimized genetic construct for plastid transformation of tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum) for
the production of the renewable, biodegradable plastic polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) was …

An increasing number of eukaryotic proteins have been shown to have a dual localization in
the DNA-containing organelles, mitochondria and plastids, and/or the nucleus. Regulation of …

Present day mitochondria and plastids (chloroplasts) evolved from formerly free-living
bacteria that were acquired through endosymbiosis more than a billion years ago …

The transfer of genetic material from the mitochondria and plastid to the nucleus gives rise to
nuclear integrants of mitochondrial DNA (NUMTs) and nuclear integrants of plastid DNA …
