Mutational Dynamics of Aroid Chloroplast Genomes
A characteristic feature of eukaryote and prokaryote genomes is the co-occurrence of nucleotide substitution and insertion/deletion (indel) mutations. Although similar observations have also been made for chloroplast DNA, genome-wide associations have not been reported. We determined the chloroplast genome sequences for two morphotypes of taro (Colocasia esculenta; family Araceae) and compared ...
متن کاملAnalysis of SSR dynamics in chloroplast genomes of Brassicaceae family
Simple sequence repeats (SSRs) are present abundantly in most eukaryotic genomes. They affect several cellular processes like chromatin organization, regulation of gene activity, DNA repair, DNA recombination, etc. Though considerable data exists on using nuclear SSRs to infer phylogenetic relationships, the potential of chloroplast microsatellites (cpSSR), in this regard, remains largely unexp...
متن کاملChloroplast Genomes of Bryophytes
Since the availability of first complete DNA sequence of chloroplast genome of Marchantia polymorpha several studies to determine the structure and organization of chloroplast genomes of various plant groups have been made. However the lineage sampling of bryophytes are poorly represented in complete chloroplast genome sequences (only three liverworts, two mosses and one hornwort). This review ...
متن کاملMutational decay and age of chloroplast and mitochondrial genomes transferred recently to angiosperm nuclear chromosomes.
Transfers of organelle DNA to the nucleus established several thousand functional genes in eukaryotic chromosomes over evolutionary time. Recent transfers have also contributed nonfunctional plastid (pt)- and mitochondrion (mt)-derived DNA (termed nupts and numts, respectively) to plant nuclear genomes. The two largest transferred organelle genome copies are 131-kb nuptDNA in rice (Oryza sativa...
متن کاملUsing Whole Chloroplast Genomes
320 American Journal of Botany 99(2): 320–329, 2012; http://www.amjbot.org/ © 2012 Botanical Society of America Reliable identifi cation of variation below the species level would provide valuable insight into subspecies ranges, habitat differentiation, and patterns of gene fl ow and migration. Additionally, it would aid in conservation of important variation within species. For example, the co...
