Rampant Gene Loss in the Underground Orchid Rhizanthella gardneri Highlights Evolutionary Constraints on Plastid Genomes
Since the endosymbiotic origin of chloroplasts from cyanobacteria 2 billion years ago, the evolution of plastids has been characterized by massive loss of genes. Most plants and algae depend on photosynthesis for energy and have retained ∼110 genes in their chloroplast genome that encode components of the gene expression machinery and subunits of the photosystems. However, nonphotosynthetic par...
متن کاملSequencing and Analysis of Plastid Genome in Mycoheterotrophic Orchid Neottia nidus-avis
Plastids are the semiautonomous organelles that possess their own genome inherited from the cyanobacterial ancestor. The primary function of plastids is photosynthesis so the structure and evolution of plastid genomes are extensively studied in photosynthetic plants. In contrast, little is known about the plastomes of nonphotosynthetic species. In higher plants, plastid genome sequences are ava...
متن کاملCharacteristics of Underground Channel for Wireless Underground Sensor Networks
Wireless Underground Sensor Networks (WUSN) constitute one of the promising application areas of the recently developed wireless sensor networking techniques. The main difference between WUSN and the terrestrial wireless sensor networks is the communication medium. The propagation characteristics of electromagnetic (EM) waves in soil and the significant differences between propagation in air pr...
متن کاملCharacteristics of the Falling Speed of Japanese Orchid Seeds
Orchid seeds, which are produced in abundance, are particularly small and light. Some orchid species are anemochorous, i.e., bear seeds that are dispersed by wind. To characterize the seeds of Japanese orchids, we measured the size of seeds and embryos of 68 Japanese orchid species. Most orchid seeds had a length of 0.3 to 2 mm and a width of 0.07 to 0.2 mm. Embryo length and width were 0.1 to ...
متن کاملHabitat characteristics of Capparis spinosa in Sistan region
Background and objectives: A large part of Iran is occupied by arid and semi-arid climatic condition which is highly vulnerable. Native plant species that are well adapted to the environmental conditions of these areas have particular importance. They are helping sustainability of the ecosystem as, provides livestock nutrition and are used as medicinal plants. Having knowledge about the ecologi...
