Identification of imprinted genes subject to parent-of-origin specific expression in Arabidopsis thaliana seeds
(2011)Background: Epigenetic regulation of gene dosage by genomic imprinting of some autosomal genes facilitates normal reproductive development in both mammals and flowering plants. While many imprinted genes have been identified ... -
Pectin metabolism and assembly in the cell wall of the charophyte green alga penium margaritaceum
(American Society of Plant Biologists, 2014-03-20)The pectin polymer homogalacturonan (HG) is a major component of land plant cell walls and is especially abundant in the middle lamella. Current models suggest that HG is deposited into the wall as a highly methylesterified ... -
Pollination ecology of Desmodium setigerum (Fabaceae) in Uganda; do big bees do it better?
(2016-09)Explosive pollen release is documented in many plant families, including the Fabaceae. Desmodium setigerum E. Mey (Fabaceae) is a perennial herb with single trip explosive pollen release found in eastern Africa, and the ... -
Projected Range Contractions of European Protected Oceanic Montane Plant Communities: Focus on Climate Change Impacts Is Essential for Their Future Conservation
(PlosOne, 2014-04-21)Global climate is rapidly changing and while many studies have investigated the potential impacts of this on the distribution of montane plant species and communities, few have focused on those with oceanic montane affinities. ... -
Response of farmland biodiversity to the introduction of bioenergy crops: effects of local factors and surrounding landscape context
(Wiley Open Access, 2013-07-19)The recent growth in bioenergy crop cultivation, stimulated by the need to implement measures to reduce net CO2 emissions, is driving major land-use changes with consequences for biodiversity and ecosystem service provision. ... -
Variability of candidate genes, genetic structure and association with sugar accumulation and climacteric behavior in a broad germplasm collection of melon (Cucumis melo L.)
(BioMed Central, 2015-03-19)Background: A collection of 175 melon (Cucumis melo L.) accessions (including wild relatives, feral types, landraces, breeding lines and commercial cultivars) from 50 countries was selected to study the phenotypic variability ...
