The unified theory of evolution is an expansion of Darwinian theory that asserts that evolution is driven by entropic accumulation of genetic information that is constrained and organized primarily by the genealogical effects of phylogenetic history and developmental integration, and secondarily by ecological effects, or natural selection in its classical mode. Phylogenetic systematic analysis ...

Mango (Mangifera indica) is an economically and nutritionally important tropical/subtropical tree fruit crop. Most of the current commercial cultivars are selections rather than the products of breeding programs. To improve the efficiency of mango breeding, molecular markers have been used to create a consensus genetic map that identifies all 20 linkage groups in seven mapping populations. Poly...

Salmine, an arginine rich protamine, is explored for its concentration dependent potential to restructure the genome and remodel the homeotic development of Norway spruce embryos expressing monozy gotic cleavage polyembryony (MCP). In controls and at low salmine, two protein fractions on SDS PAGE gels were associated with cells responsible for generating the basal plan for early embryagenesis. ...
