Complete Mitochondrial Genome Sequence of Sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.)
نویسندگان
چکیده
This is the first complete mitochondrial genome sequence for sunflower and the first complete mitochondrial genome for any member of Asteraceae, the largest plant family, which includes over 23,000 named species. The master circle is 300,945-bp long and includes 27 protein-coding sequences, 18 tRNAs, and the 26S, 5S, and 18S rRNAs.

Sequence-Based Analysis of Structural Organization and Composition of the Cultivated Sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.) Genome
Sunflower is an important oilseed crop, as well as a model system for evolutionary studies, but its 3.6 gigabase genome has proven difficult to assemble, in part because of the high repeat content of its genome. Here we report on the sequencing, assembly, and analyses of 96 randomly chosen BACs from sunflower to provide additional information on the repeat content of the sunflower genome, asses...
متن کاملCloning and Bioinformatics Analysis of the Gene Encoding Transcription Factor MYB44 of Sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.) under Salt Stress Conditions
Sunflower oilseeds (Helianthus annuus L.) are widely used around the world. Soil salinity negatively affects many morphological and physiological traits of sunflowers. Oil seed sunflower line tolerant to salinity stress (AS5305) was planted in normal and salinity stress conditions in a completely randomized design with two biological replications in a controlled environment. Salinity was applie...
متن کاملChromosomal evolution and patterns of introgression in helianthus.
Knowledge of the nature and extent of karyotypic differences between species provides insight into the evolutionary history of the genomes in question and, in the case of closely related species, the potential for genetic exchange between taxa. We constructed high-density genetic maps of the silverleaf sunflower (Helianthus argophyllus) and Algodones Dune sunflower (H. niveus ssp. tephrodes) ge...
متن کاملA genomic scan for selection reveals candidates for genes involved in the evolution of cultivated sunflower (Helianthus annuus).
Genomic scans for selection are a useful tool for identifying genes underlying phenotypic transitions. In this article, we describe the results of a genome scan designed to identify candidates for genes targeted by selection during the evolution of cultivated sunflower. This work involved screening 492 loci derived from ESTs on a large panel of wild, primitive (i.e., landrace), and improved sun...
متن کاملCytomorphological and molecular diversity in backcross-derived inbred lines of sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.).
A set of 250 distinct, stable, and uniform backcross-derived inbred lines were developed in sunflower through 5 interspecific cross combinations involving 4 wild diploid annual species (Helianthus argophyllus, H. petiolaris, H. annuus, and H. debilis). The presence of the wild-species genome in these inbred lines was confirmed through higher chromosome associations (tri- and quadrivalents) at d...
