The origin and evolution of a hybrid species complex in the genus Brassica (cabbage,
turnip, mustard, rapeseed oil) has been explored through mutational analysis of the …

Publisher Summary This chapter describes a filter hybridization approach for mapping
chloroplast DNA (cpDNA) restriction sites along with several strategies for generating …

We have compared the sequence organization of four previously uncharacterized legume
chloroplast DNAs-from alfalfa, lupine, wisteria and subclover—to that of legume chloroplast …

Land plant plastid genomes (plastomes) provide a tractable model for evolutionary study in
that they are relatively compact and gene dense. Among the groups that display an …

We have constructed the first physical map of a gymnosperm chloroplast genome and
compared its organization with those of a fern and several angiosperms by heterologous …

The plastid genome (plastome), while surprisingly constant in gene order and content
across most photosynthetic angiosperms, exhibits variability in several unrelated lineages …

The plant genome comprises a coevolving, integrated genetic system housed in three
subcellular compartments: the nucleus, mitochondrion, and the plastid. The typical land …

Comparative data on the evolution of chloroplast genes are reviewed. The chloroplast
genome has maintained a similar structural organization over most plant taxa so far …

Physical and gene mapping studies reveal that chloroplast DNA from geranium
(Pelargonium hortorum) has sustained a number of extensive duplications and inversions …

Background DNA barcoding will revolutionize our understanding of fern ecology, most
especially because the accurate identification of the independent but cryptic gametophyte …
