Tandem and segmental gene duplication and recombination in the evolution of plant disease resistance gene.
NBS-LRR genes are the major class of disease resistance genes in flowering plants, and are arranged as single genes and as clustered loci. The evolution of these genes has been investigated in Arabidopsis thaliana by combining data on their genomic organisation and position in phylogenetic trees. Tandem and segmental duplications distribute and separate NBS-LRR genes in the genome. It is, howev...
متن کاملTandem duplication/triplication correlated with poly-cytosine stretch variation in human mitochondrial DNA D-loop region.
Somatic mutations in the mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) displacement loop (D-loop) region have been frequently detected in various human cancers. In a previous study, we identified a polyplasmic 260-bp tandem duplication and triplication mutation in the mtDNA D-loop of one gastric cancer. In the present study, we adopted a more sensitive back-to-back polymerase chain reaction method to screen for th...
متن کاملThe second green revolution? Production of plant-based biodegradable plastics.
Biodegradable plastics are those that can be completely degraded in landfills, composters or sewage treatment plants by the action of naturally occurring micro-organisms. Truly biodegradable plastics leave no toxic, visible or distinguishable residues following degradation. Their biodegradability contrasts sharply with most petroleum-based plastics, which are essentially indestructible in a bio...
متن کاملGenealogy of the "Green Revolution" gene in rice.
During the "Green Revolution" of rice, high-yielding varieties (HYVs) were developed using a semi-dwarf gene (sd1 or OsGA20ox2). The presence or absence of the two mutant alleles (DGWG type in Dee-geo-woo-gen and JKK type in Jikkoku) were surveyed by PCR using 256 accessions of eight wild and two cultivate rice species. The DGWG allele was detected in a landrace (Oryza sativa) and two accession...
متن کاملFamilial Lymphoproliferative Malignancies and Tandem Duplication of NF1 Gene
Background. Neurofibromatosis type 1 is a genetic disorder caused by loss-of-function mutations in a tumor suppressor gene (NF1) which codifies the protein neurofibromin. The frequent genetic alterations that modify neurofibromin function are deletions and insertions. Duplications are rare and phenotype in patients bearing duplication of NF1 gene is thought to be restricted to developmental abn...
