Perspective on Possible Recombination Event in Fusion Protein Gene of Newcastle Disease Viruses Isolated in Iran

Background and Aims: Newcastle disease (ND), caused by the virulent Newcastle disease virus (NDV), is one of the most important viral diseases in birds. In recent years recombination occurring throughout the NDVs genome isolated in China and Indonesia has been reported. This study was focused to investigate the recombination events in the F gene of the Iranian NDVs to generate useful data that ...

Somatic and germinal recombination of a direct repeat in Arabidopsis.

Homologous recombination between a pair of directly repeated transgenes was studied in Arabidopsis. The test construct included two different internal, non-overlapping deletion alleles of npt (neomycin phosphotransferase) flanking an active HPT (hygromycin phosphotransferase) gene. This construct was introduced into Arabidopsis by agrobacterium-mediated transformation with selection for resista...

Isolation and molecular characterization of the RecQsim gene in Arabidopsis, rice (Oryza sativa) and rape (Brassica napus)

In any organism that reproduces sexually, DNA Recombination plays vital roles in the generation of allelic diversity as well as in preservation of genome fidelity. Genome fidelity is particularly important in plants because mutations occurring during the development of flowering plants are heritable and can be passed onto the next generation. One of the gene families that play crucial roles in ...

Interchromatid and interhomolog recombination in Arabidopsis thaliana.

Intermolecular recombination events were monitored in Arabidopsis thaliana lines using specially designed recombination traps consisting of tandem disrupted beta-glucuronidase or luciferase reporter genes in direct repeat orientation. Recombination frequencies (RFs) varied between the different lines, indicating possible position effects influencing intermolecular recombination processes. The R...
