Allopolyploidization, the combination of the genomes from two different species, has been a
major source of evolutionary innovation and a driver of speciation and environmental …

Tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum L.) is a species in the large family of the Solanaceae and is
important as an agronomic crop and as a model system in plant biotechnology. Despite its …

Chayote (Sechium edule), a member of the Cucurbitaceae family, is cultivated throughout
tropical and subtropical regions of the world and utilized in pharmaceutical, cosmetic and …

We report cell-to-cell movement of mitochondria through a graft junction. Mitochondrial
movement was discovered in an experiment designed to select for chloroplast transfer from …

Abstract Background Simple sequence repeats (SSRs) are tandem repeats of DNA that
have been used to develop robust genetic markers. These molecular markers are powerful …

Our objective was to test whether or not plastids and mitochondria, the two DNA-containing
organelles, move between cells in plants. As our experimental approach, we grafted two …

Abstract Knowledge of genetic diversity could be beneficial by contributing important
information in the selection of breeding material. The objective of this study was to explore …

Nicotiana species carry cellular T‐DNA sequences (cT‐DNAs), acquired by Agrobacterium‐
mediated transformation. We characterized the cT‐DNA sequences of the ancestral …

Polyploidy is an important driving force in angiosperm evolution, and much research has
focused on genetic, epigenetic and transcriptomic responses to allopolyploidy. Nicotiana is …

We evaluated genetic diversity and population structure of Iranian melons (Cucumis melo L.)
using combinations of 35 primer pairs: 15 Simple-Sequence-Repeats (SSR); 10 Inter-Simple …
