Microsatellite primers for a species of South African everlasting daisy (Helichrysum odoratissimum; Gnaphalieae, Asteraceae)1
PREMISE OF THE STUDY Microsatellites were developed for the widespread Helichrysum odoratissimum (Asteraceae) to estimate gene flow across diploid populations and to test if gene flow occurs among other closely related lineages within this genus. METHODS AND RESULTS Ten primer pairs were developed and tested using populations across South Africa; however, only seven primer pairs were polymorp...
متن کاملAcylphloroglucinol Derivatives from the South African Helichrysum niveum and Their Biological Activities.
Phytochemical investigation of aerial parts of Helichrysum niveum (H. niveum) using different chromatographic methods including semi-preparative HPLC afforded three new (1-3) and six known (4-10) acylphloroglucinols alongside a known dialcohol triterpene (11). The structures of the isolated compounds were characterized accordingly as 1-benzoyl-3 (3-methylbut-2-enylacetate)-phloroglucinol (helin...
متن کاملGenomic islands of speciation or genomic islands and speciation?
Populations of the malaria mosquito, Anopheles gambiae, are comprised of at least two reproductively isolated, sympatric populations. In this issue, White et al. (2010) use extensive sampling, high-density tiling microarrays, and an updated reference genome to clarify and expand our knowledge of genomic differentiation between these populations. It is now clear that DNA near the centromeres of ...
متن کاملExploring Gender Differences in the Connectedness of South African Adolescents
The literature on adolescent development refers to the adolescent’s need to be connected to others in a meaningful way. However, research on adolescent connectedness in the South African context is limited, particularly with regard to gender influences. This exploratory, descriptive research project therefore aimed at investigating gender differences in the connectedness of Grade 8 and Grade 11...
متن کاملChromatin Evolution and Molecular Drive in Speciation
Are there biological generalities that underlie hybrid sterility or inviability? Recently, around a dozen "speciation genes" have been identified mainly in Drosophila, and the biological functions of these genes are revealing molecular generalities. Major cases of hybrid sterility and inviability seem to result from chromatin evolution and molecular drive in speciation. Repetitive satellite DNA...
