thymus is a medicinal plant which contains one of the world's top ten essential oils, exhibiting antibacterial, antioxidative, food preservative and mammalian age-delaying properties. this work was aimed at identifying between-species variations requiring for selecting appropriate parents for hybridization. six iranian endemic thymus accessions belonging to thymus daënensis, t. eriocalyx and t....

The genome sizes of 128 strains of cyanobacteria, representative of all major taxonomic groups, lie in the range 1.6 x lo9 to 8.6 x lo9 daltons. The majority of unicellular cyanobacteria contain genomes of 1.6 x lo9 to 2-7 x lo9 daltons, comparable in size to those of other bacteria, whereas most pleurocapsalean and filamentous strains possess larger genomes. The genome sizes are discontinuousl...

Their small sizes have meant that the Arabidopsis and rice genomes are the best-studied of all plant genomes. Although even closely related plant species can show large variations in genome size, extensive genome colinearity has been established at the genetic level and recently also at the gene level. This allows the transfer of information and resources assembled for rice and Arabidopsis to b...

We report here 1 near-complete genome sequence and 12 complete genome sequences for clinical Capnocytophaga isolates. Total read coverages ranged from 211× to 737×, and genome sizes ranged from 2.41 Mb to 3.10 Mb. These genomes will enable a more comprehensive taxonomic evaluation of the Capnocytophaga genus.
