We have cloned and sequenced a cDNA for a histone H2A from parsley (Petroselinum crispum). A library of parsley cDNA in lambda gtll was probed with a cloned fragment originally generated by polymerase chain reaction (PCR). The DNA amplified by PCR was a cDNA preparation made using the downstream PCR oligo primer with a total RNA preparation from parsley cell culture. The PCR upstream primer (a ...

We characterized eight microsatellite loci to study spatial and temporal population structure of Pelodytes punctatus, a European anuran that has a peculiar breeding pattern among amphibians. The eight loci proved to be highly polymorphic with the number of alleles per locus ranging from two to 15 within two populations. Cross-amplification indicates that those markers may be also useful for clo...

Parsley is an important biennial Apiaceae species that is widely cultivated as herb, spice, and vegetable. Previous studies on parsley principally focused on its physiological and biochemical properties, including phenolic compound and volatile oil contents. However, little is known about the molecular and genetic properties of parsley. In this study, 23,686,707 high-quality reads were obtained...
