The commercialisation of GM crops in Europe is practically non-existent at the present time.
The European Commission has instigated changes to the regulatory process to address the …

Osmanthus fragrans is an ornamental plant of substantial commercial value, and no genetic
linkage maps of this species have previously been reported. Specific-locus amplified …

The DNA amount in the unreplicated haploid nucleus of an organism is known as its C-
value. C-values differ about 1000-fold among angiosperms and are characteristic of taxa …

Two unigene datasets of Pinus taeda and Pinus pinaster were screened to detect di-, tri-and
tetranucleotide repeated motifs using the SSRIT script. A total of 419 simple sequence …

A genetic linkage map of European chestnut (Castanea sativa Mill.) based on RAPD, ISSR
and isozyme markers was constructed using the two-way pseudo-testcross strategy. A total …

Twenty-three populations of Pinus pinaster (13 Aquitaine populations and 10 Corsican
populations) were analysed at three microsatellite loci and 122 AFLP loci. The aims of the …

The conifers are a diverse and ancient group of seed plants of monophyletic origin that
arose more than 300 million years ago (Rothwell and Scheckler 1988). They are uniformly …

Chromosomal landmarks in four Pinus species: P. densiflora, P. thunbergii, P. sylvestris, and
P. nigra were identified by fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) using hapten-or …

Classical quantitative genetics and quantitative trait dissection analysis (QTL) approaches
were used in order to investigate the genetic determinism of wood cellulose carbon isotope …

In flowering plants, double fertilization occurs when the egg cell and the central cell are each
fertilized by one sperm cell. In maize, some lines produce pollen capable of inducing in situ …
