Grasses as a single genetic system: reassessment 2001.
Grasses are a large, diverse, and successful family of monocotyledonous flowering plants characterized most dramatically by their spikelet style of floral structure (Fig. 1a) and by the number and pattern of these spikelets in the inflorescence. There are about 10,000 species that are categorized as grasses by taxonomists who traditionally follow embryonic, architectural, and anatomical charact...
متن کاملGenetic modification of wetland grasses for phytoremediation.
Wetland grasses and grass-like monocots are very important natural remediators of pollutants. Their genetic improvement is an important task because introduction of key transgenes can dramatically improve their remediation potential. Tissue culture is prerequisite for genetic manipulation, and methods are reported here for in vitro culture and micropropagation of a number of wetland plants of v...
متن کاملSystem Catastrophe: A Distributive Model for Collective Phenomenon
The phenomenon of system catastrophe often occurs in a system with a network structure. A system’s resources can be utilized in two different modes: efficiently or inefficiently. When actions with inefficient mode pose no threat to other users or, in other words, when they employ resources that would otherwise be idle, they do not waste the system's resources at all. But when critical levels of...
متن کاملMethods for Performing Crosses in Setaria viridis, a New Model System for the Grasses
Setaria viridis is an emerging model system for C4 grasses. It is closely related to the bioenergy feed stock switchgrass and the grain crop foxtail millet. Recently, the 510 Mb genome of foxtail millet, S. italica, has been sequenced (1,2) and a 25x coverage genome sequence of the weedy relative S. viridis is in progress. S. viridis has a number of characteristics that make it a potentially ex...
متن کاملBrachypodium distachyon. A new model system for functional genomics in grasses.
A new model for grass functional genomics is described based on Brachypodium distachyon, which in the evolution of the Pooideae diverged just prior to the clade of "core pooid" genera that contain the majority of important temperate cereals and forage grasses. Diploid ecotypes of B. distachyon (2n = 10) have five easily distinguishable chromosomes that display high levels of chiasma formation a...
