there are many methods for weed management one of them is putting allelopathic and cover crop in weed management programs. in order to study the effect of sowing time (delayed sowing, synchronic sowing) and wheat cultivars (shiraz, roshan, tabasi, niknejad) on allelopathic interaction of wheat and weed species (secale cereale l., avena ludoviciana l.: monocotyledon, convolvulus arvensis l. and ...

We used 22 fragments corresponding to the reverse transcriptase domain of copia-like retrotransposons as representatives to study the organization and distribution of these elements in the rice genome. The loci detected by these 22 fragments were assigned to 47 locations in the molecular-linkage map involving all 12 chromosomes. The distributional features of copia-like retrotransposons found i...

Two types of insertion elements, R1 and R2 (previously called type I and type II), are known to interrupt the 28S ribosomal genes of several insect species. In the silkmoth, Bombyx mori, each element occupies approximately 10% of the estimated 240 ribosomal DNA units, while at most only a few copies are located outside the ribosomal DNA units. We present here the complete nucleotide sequence of...

NBS-LRR-type disease resistance gene-like cDNA, induced by salicylic acid (SA) was cloned from rye Secalecereale L. (2n = 14RR) var. Petkus, which has rust genes such as Lr26, Sr31 andRr9. We designed primers based on the NBS region and performed PCR using Petkus genomic DNA a template. Next, we TA-cloned 532-bp fragment containing five homologous amino sequences in region. The SA-treated showe...

The genomes of representative species of fishes, amphibians, and reptiles contain non-long-terminal-repeat (non-LTR) retrotransposons showing strong sequence identity to the chicken repeat 1 (CR1) non-LTR retrotransposon from birds. These nonavian retroelements have been termed CR1-like elements. We have isolated sequences of a non-LTR retrotransposon from the human blood fluke Schistosoma mans...

We identified putative long terminal repeat- (LTR) retrotransposon sequences among the 50,000 random sequence tags (RSTs) obtained by the Génolevures project from genomic libraries of 13 Hemiascomycetes species. In most cases additional sequencing enabled us to assemble the whole sequences of these retrotransposons. These approaches identified 17 distinct families, 10 of which are defined by fu...

From a wild diploid species that is a relative of wheat, Aegilops speltoides, a 301-bp repeat containing 16 copies of a CAA microsatellite was isolated. Southern blot and fluorescence in situ hybridization revealed that approximately 250 bp of the sequence is tandemly arrayed at the centromere regions of A- and B-genome chromosomes of common wheat and rye chromosomes. Although the DNA sequence ...
