Polyploidy and ecological adaptation in wild yarrow.
Chromosome evolution in flowering plants is often punctuated by polyploidy, genome duplication events that fundamentally alter DNA content, chromosome number, and gene dosage. Polyploidy confers postzygotic reproductive isolation and is thought to drive ecological divergence and range expansion. The adaptive value of polyploidy, however, remains uncertain; ecologists have traditionally relied o...
متن کاملPolyploidy and ecological transfiguration in Achillea.
P olyploidy is a prominent chromosomal/genetical feature in most flowering plant groups (1, 2). Change in the number of chromosome sets (and thus gene dosage) is an important factor in the genesis of new species, in part because plants with higher ploidal levels often have ecological tolerances that differ from those of their progenitors. Plant evolutionists have been very interested in the ori...
متن کاملHost Adaptation and Speciation through Hybridization and Polyploidy in Phytophthora
It is becoming increasingly evident that interspecific hybridization is a common event in phytophthora evolution. Yet, the fundamental processes underlying interspecific hybridization and the consequences for its ecological fitness and distribution are not well understood. We studied hybridization events in phytophthora clade 8b. This is a cold-tolerant group of plant pathogenic oomycetes in wh...
متن کاملEcological Factors Regulate Essential Oil Yield, Percent and Compositions of Endemic Yarrow (Achillea eriophora DC.) in Southeast Iran
Endemic yarrow (Achillea eriophora DC.) has been widely used in folk medicine for centuries. The impact of climatic and edaphic conditions was investigated on essential oil (EO) yield and compositions of different yarrow ecotypes, native to Kerman province in southeast of Iran. The aerial part of plants was collected from 13 naturalhabitats. Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) analysis...
متن کاملYarrow-160: Notes on the Design and Analysis of the Yarrow Cryptographic Pseudorandom Number Generator
We describe the design of Yarrow, a family of cryptographic pseudo-random number generators (PRNG). We describe the concept of a PRNG as a separate cryptographic primitive, and the design principles used to develop Yarrow. We then discuss the ways that PRNGs can fail in practice, which motivates our discussion of the components of Yarrow and how they make Yarrow secure. Next, we define a specif...
