Polyploidy is an important evolutionary process in plants, but much remains to be learned about the evolution of gene expression in polyploids. Evolution and expression of the 18S-5.8S-26S ribosomal gene family was investigated at homeologous loci in the Glycine subgenus Glycine perennial soybean polyploid complex, which consists of several diploid genomes that have formed allopolyploids in var...

BACKGROUND AND AIMS Some plant groups, especially on islands, have been shaped by strong ancestral bottlenecks and rapid, recent radiation of phenotypic characters. Single molecular markers are often not informative enough for phylogenetic reconstruction in such plant groups. Whole plastid genomes and nuclear ribosomal DNA (nrDNA) are viewed by many researchers as sources of information for phy...

Phu Khieo Wildlife Sanctuary (PKWS) is a major hotspot of biological diversity in Thailand but its fungal diversity has not been thouroughly explored. A two-year macrofungal study of this remote locality has resulted in the recognition of a new species of a star-shaped gasteroid fungus in the genus Astraeus. This fungus has been identified based on a morphological approach and the molecular stu...

We report complete sequences of chloroplast (cp) genome and 45S nuclear ribosomal DNA (45S nrDNA) for 11 Panax ginseng cultivars. We have obtained complete sequences of cp and 45S nrDNA, the representative barcoding target sequences for cytoplasm and nuclear genome, respectively, based on low coverage NGS sequence of each cultivar. The cp genomes sizes ranged from 156,241 to 156,425 bp and the ...

مکانیزم شکست ناشی از خزش در طی حادثه شدید یک رآکتور‌ آبی‌تحت‌فشار به‌جهت انتقال مواد رادیواکتیو به محیط‌زیست اهمیت ویژه‌ای برخوردار است. دنبال شدید، حرارت واپاشی منتقل‌شده سایر قسمت‌های سیستم‌خنک‌کننده رآکتور می‌تواند منجر گرم‌شدن سازه‌های سیستم خنک‌کننده (RCS) و خرابی نواحی تحت‌فشار آسیب‌پذیر شود. قطع‌کامل‌برق (SBO) بدون اقدامات اپراتور (توالی TMLB) یکی محتمل‌ترین سناریوهایی است که ممکن یکپارچ...

Real-time PCR in nuclear ribosomal DNA (nrDNA) is becoming a well-established tool for the quantification of arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi, but this genomic region does not allow the specific amplification of closely related genotypes. The large subunit of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) has a higher-resolution power, but mtDNA-based quantification has not been previously explored in AM fungi. We...
