Cross-species identification of Mendel's I locus.

چکیده
A key gene involved in plant senescence, mutations of which partially disable chlorophyll catabolism and confer stay-green leaf and cotyledon phenotypes, has been identified in Pisum sativum, Arabidopsis thaliana, and Festuca pratensis by using classical and molecular genetics and comparative genomics. A stay-green locus in F. pratensis is syntenically equivalent to a similar stay-green locus on rice chromosome 9. Functional testing in Arabidopsis of a homolog of the rice candidate gene revealed (i) senescence-associated gene expression and (ii) a stay-green phenotype after RNA interference silencing. Genetic mapping in pea demonstrated cosegregation with the yellow/green cotyledon polymorphism (I/i) first reported by Gregor Mendel in 1866.

Response to Till-Bottraud and Gaggiotti: Going back to Darwin’s works
Irene Till-Bottraud and Oscar Gaggiotti [1] state that Charles Darwin did not know 'Mendel's inheritance rules' and that Darwin's view of inheritance was 'Lamarckian'. They also express the view that the appearance of traits that were 'hidden' during one or more generations did not fit Pangenesis (Darwin's hypothesis on mechanisms of heredity) and that the motivation for developing the theory o...

Objective(s): Infections by Staphylococcus aureus remain an important health problem. The aims were to detect mecA, staphylococcal cassette chromosome mec (SCCmec), accessory gene regulator (agr), and integrons in S. aureus and to investigate the relationship of agr types with antibiotic resistance of isolates. Materials and Methods: In this cross-sectional study, 70 S. aureus isolates w...
متن کاملThe great neglect: the fate of Mendel's classic paper between 1865 and 1900.
GREGOR MENDEL read his paper Versuche iiber Pflanzenhybriden (Experiments in Plant Hybridization) at two sessions of the Natural History Society of Briinn, now Brno, in February and March 1865. The two lectures were published in Volume IV of the Verhandlungen des Naturforschenden Vereins in Briinn and we shall refer to them as 'Transactions' (1866). It is well known that only thirty-four years ...

Gregor Mendel's classic paper, Versuche über Pflanzen-Hybriden (Experiments on Plant Hybrids), was published in 1866, hence 2016 is its sesquicentennial. Mendel completed his experiments in 1863 and shortly thereafter began compiling the results and writing his paper, which he presented in meetings of the Natural Science Society in Brünn in February and March of 1865. Mendel owned a personal co...
