A DNA marker for the duplicated cytosolic PGI genes in sheep's fescue (Festuca ovina L.).
Active duplicate PgiC genes in sheep's fescue, Festuca ovina, are associated with a PCR marker of specific length (about 370 bp, of which 231 are in an intron). Using this marker, the frequency of plants with duplicate genes is estimated to be about 10% in a population from southern Sweden. The close molecular similarity between the electrophoretically different duplicated genes is in accordanc...
متن کاملGenetic Structure and Eco-Geographical Differentiation of Wild Sheep Fescue (Festuca ovina L.) in Xinjiang, Northwest China.
Glaciation and mountain orogeny have generated new ecologic opportunities for plants, favoring an increase in the speciation rate. Moreover, they also act as corridors or barriers for plant lineages and populations. High genetic diversity ensures that species are able to survive and adapt. Gene flow is one of the most important determinants of the genetic diversity and structure of out-crossed ...
متن کاملDuplicated cytosolic malate dehydrogenase genes in Zea mays.
Six inbred lines of Zea mays expressing different soluble (cytosolic) malate dehydrogenase (sMDH) zymogram phenotypes were analyzed genetically. sMDH was found to be coded for by unlinked duplicated loci in four of these inbred lines. The remaining two lines were found not to possess these duplicated loci. Furthermore, the duplicated loci, sMdh1 and sMdh2, have been found to be located on diffe...
متن کاملEvidence for Positive Selection within the PgiC1 Locus in the Grass Festuca ovina
The dimeric metabolic enzyme phosphoglucose isomerase (PGI, EC 5.3.1.9) plays an essential role in energy production. In the grass Festuca ovina, field surveys of enzyme variation suggest that genetic variation at cytosolic PGI (PGIC) may be adaptively important. In the present study, we investigated the molecular basis of the potential adaptive significance of PGIC in F. ovina by analyzing cDN...
متن کاملGangrenous ergotism in cattle grazing fescue (Festuca elatior L.) in South Africa.
The 1st outbreak of fescue toxicosis in South Africa was recently confirmed in a Brahman herd at Perdekop, near Standerton, in Mpumalanga province, South Africa. Within 3 weeks of being placed on a fescue pasture in mid-winter, 50 of 385 cattle developed lameness and/or necrosis of the tail. The farmer had established Festuca elatior L. (tall fescue, Iewag variety) on c. 140 ha for winter grazi...
