Abstract
Background
Sacred lotus is a basal eudicot with agricultural, medicinal, cultural and religious importance. It was domesticated in Asia about 7,000 years ago, and cultivated for its rhizomes and seeds as a food ...
Comparative genomic analysis of C4 photosynthetic pathway evolution in grasses
(2009-06-23)
Abstract
Background
Sorghum is the first C4 plant and the second grass with a full genome sequence available. This makes it possible ...
A physical map for the Amborella trichopoda genome sheds light on the evolution of angiosperm genome structure
(2011-05-27)
Abstract
Background
Recent phylogenetic analyses have identified Amborella trichopoda, an understory tree species endemic to the forests of New Caledonia, as sister to a clade including all other known flowering plant ...
A draft physical map of a D-genome cotton species (Gossypium raimondii)
(2010-06-22)
Abstract
Background
Genetically anchored physical maps of large eukaryotic genomes have proven useful both for their intrinsic merit and as an adjunct to genome sequencing. Cultivated tetraploid cottons, Gossypium ...
