Transposable elements make up a substantial proportion of most plant genomes. Because
they are potentially highly mutagenic, transposons are controlled by a set of mechanisms …

Comparative genetics, genomics and cytogenetics provide tools to trace the evolutionary
history of extant genomes. Yet, the interpretation of rapidly increasing genomic data is not …

Hybrids derived from wheat (Triticum aestivum L.)× rye (Secale cereale L.) have been widely
studied because of their important roles in wheat cultivar improvement. Repetitive …

Wheat is an important global crop with an extremely large and complex genome that
contains more transposable elements (TEs) than any other known crop species. Here, we …

Previously, we identified long repeat sequences that are frequently associated with genome
rearrangements, including copy number variation (CNV), in many diverse isolates of the …

SUMMARY A chromosome‐specific painting technique has been developed which
combines the most recent approaches of the companion disciplines of molecular …

The centromere is a chromosomal locus responsible for the faithful segregation of genetic
material during cell division. It has become evident that centromeres can be established …

The point of attachment of spindle microtubules to metaphase chromosomes is known as the
centromere. Plant and animal centromeres are epigenetically specified by a centromere …

Salvia miltiorrhiza Bunge, also known as red sage or Danshen, is an important traditional
Chinese medicine (TCM) that has been used for thousands of years to treat cardiovascular …

The comparison of the chromosome numbers of today's species with common reconstructed
paleo-ancestors has led to intense speculation of how chromosomes have been rearranged …
