Aquilegia is an emerging model organism that is phylogenetically intermediate between the core eudicot and monocot models, Arabidopsis and Oryza. In this study, we have used a comparative genomics approach to identify 45 Aquilegia microRNAs that comprise 20 separate plant microRNA families. We have predicted 84 targets of these newly identified Aquilegia microRNAs including transcription factor...

Abstract Ephyrae are produced through the strobilation of polyps in general life cycle Aurelia coerulea . However, it has been reported that planulae can also metamorphose directly into ephyrae, without passing polyp stage. There is a mixture ephyrae developed from (planula-strobilated ephyrae) and (polyp-strobilated ephyra population. effect planula-strobilated on population yet to be determin...

The phylogenetic structure of genus Micromonospora within actinomycetes was examined by analysing the gyrB sequences of 15 validly described species and four subspecies. All but one of the Micromonospora strains formed a tight cluster, as had previously been demonstrated by a 16S rDNA-based phylogenetic analysis. However, the intrageneric relationships deduced from the gyrB-based phylogeny were...
