Plastid Genome Sequence of a Wild Woody Oil Species, Prinsepia utilis, Provides Insights into Evolutionary and Mutational Patterns of Rosaceae Chloroplast Genomes

BACKGROUND Prinsepiautilis Royle is a wild woody oil species of Rosaceae that yields edible oil which has been proved to possess particular benefits for human health and medical therapy. However, the lack of bred varieties has largely impeded exploiting immense potentials for high quality of its seed oil. It is urgently needed to enlarge the knowledge of genetic basis of the species and develop...

Mitoribosomes from Candida Utilis

Highly purified mitochondrial ribosomes (mitoribosomes) have been obtained from the yeast Candida utilis. Sedimentation analysis in sucrose gradients made in 5 mM MgCl(2), 1 mM Tris, pH 7.4 and 50 mM KCl clearly distinguishes mitoribosomes (72S) from cytoplasmic ribosomes (cytoribosomes) (78S). Mitoribosomes are completely dissociated into 50S and 36S subunits at 10(-4)M MgCl(2) whereas complet...

Taxonomic revision of Neotropical Murdannia Royle (Commelinaceae)

This study provides a taxonomic revision for the Neotropical species of the genus Murdannia. Six species are recognized as native, including a new species and a new combination, while two Asian species are recognized as invasive. We present an identification key, a table summarizing the morphologic differences among the species, a new synonym, six lectotypifications, a distribution map, and des...

Scientific Study of Gentiana kurroo Royle

The present investigation was carried out to review and highlight the potential phytochemicals and medicinal phenomena of the critically endangered medicinal plant, Gentiana kurroo Royle of the western and north-western Himalayas. The medicinal plant is heavily exploited for root and rhizome. Due to its endemic nature and the high rate of exploitation from its natural habitat, this species had ...
