Breeding and tissue culture of certain cultivars of bananas (Musa) have led to high levels of
banana streak badnavirus (BSV) infection in progeny from symptomless parents. BSV DNA …

Panicum miliaceum (broomcorn millet) is a tetraploid cereal, which was among the first
domesticated crops, but is now a minor crop despite its high water use efficiency. The ancestors …

Structural variations (SVs) are a major contributor to genetic diversity and phenotypic variations,
but their prevalence and functions in domestic animals are largely unexplored. Here we …

The Ty1-copia group of LTR retrotransposons has been studied extensively in yeast and
Drosophila, the organisms in which they were first discovered, and more recently in higher plant …

Using universal PCR primers, some 80 fragments of retroelement reverse transcriptase
genes were isolated from 16 accessions of the three diploid and three derived allotetraploid …

Enset (Ensete ventricosum) is a major starch staple and food security crop for 20 million
people. Despite substantial diversity in morphology, genetics, agronomy and utilization across …

Publisher Summary Domesticated species, whether plants or animals, are grown by people
for economic or other reasons. They differ from their closest wild relatives and are reliant on …

We studied the structure, organization and relationship of repetitive DNA sequences in the
genome of the scallop, Pecten maximus, a bivalve that is important both commercially and in …

In spring turnip rape (Brassica rapa L. spp. oleifera), the most promising F1 hybrid system
would be the Ogu-INRA CMS/Rf system. A Kosena fertility restorer gene Rfk1, homolog of the …

Chromosomal in situ hybridization enables determination of the presence and location of DNA
sequences complementary to a labeled probe along chromosomes and within interphase …
