Genomic Resources of Three Pulsatilla Species Reveal Evolutionary Hotspots, Species-Specific Sites and Variable Plastid Structure in the Family Ranunculaceae
BACKGROUND The European continent is presently colonized by nine species of the genus Pulsatilla, five of which are encountered only in mountainous regions of southwest and south-central Europe. The remaining four species inhabit lowlands in the north-central and eastern parts of the continent. Most plants of the genus Pulsatilla are rare and endangered, which is why most research efforts focus...
متن کاملChemical composition of anther volatiles in Ranunculaceae: genera-specific profiles in Anemone, Aquilegia, Caltha, Pulsatilla, Ranunculus, and Trollius species.
Anther volatiles of 12 Ranunculaceae species distributed in six genera (Anemone, Aquilegia, Caltha, Pulsatilla, Ranunculus, and Trollius) were investigated by thermal desorption of anthers in quartz microvials inserted into a modified injector. Chemical analysis (GC-MS) yielded a total of 116 compounds from which 103 compounds could be identified. A great diversity of compounds was observed, in...
متن کاملEvolutionary analysis of the cystatin family in three Schistosoma species
The cystatin family comprises cysteine protease inhibitors distributed in 3 subfamilies (I25A-C). Family members lacking cystatin activity are currently unclassified. Little is known about the evolution of Schistosoma cystatins, their physiological roles, and expression patterns in the parasite life cycle. The present study aimed to identify cystatin homologs in the predicted proteome of three ...
متن کاملStaminodial Nectary Structure in Two Pulsatilla (l.) Species
In plants belonging to the Ranunculaceae the floral nectaries may differ in origin, location in the flower, shape and structure. In many cases they are defined as modified tepals or modified stamens. The nectary organs in this family are frequently termed "honey leaves," and staminodial origin is attributed to them. Gynopleural and receptacular nectaries are rarely found in Ranunculaceae. To da...
متن کاملGenomic structure and expression sites of three gonadotropin-releasing hormone genes in one species.
In the teleost fish, Haplochromis burtoni, gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) peptide has been localized to three distinct regions in the brain. Each GnRH population is associated with expression of a distinct cDNA as previously described. Here we report the complete genomic sequences encoding these three forms and compare their structural organization, putative regulatory elements, and expr...
