A physical map of Brassica oleracea shows complexity of chromosomal changes following recursive paleopolyploidizations
(2011-09-28)
Abstract
Background
Evolution of the Brassica species has been recursively affected by polyploidy events, and comparison to their relative, Arabidopsis thaliana, provides means to explore their genomic complexity.

Genome of the long-living sacred lotus (Nelumbo nucifera Gaertn.)
(2013-05-10)
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 ...
A genome triplication associated with early diversification of the core eudicots
(2012-01-26)
Abstract
Background
Although it is agreed that a major polyploidy event, gamma, occurred within the eudicots, the phylogenetic placement of the event remains unclear.
Results
To determine when this polyploidization ...
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 ...
Optimization of linkage mapping strategy and construction of a high-density American lotus linkage map
(2014-05-15)
Abstract
Background
Lotus is a diploid plant with agricultural, medicinal, and ecological significance. Genetic linkage maps are fundamental resources for genome and genetic study, and also provide ...
Association mapping in sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.) reveals independent control of apical vs. basal branching
(2015-03-11)
Abstract
Background
Shoot branching is an important determinant of plant architecture and influences various aspects of growth and development. Selection on branching has also ...
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 ...
Genetic analysis of safflower domestication
(2014-02-06)
Abstract
Background
Safflower (Carthamus tinctorius L.) is an oilseed crop in the Compositae (a.k.a. Asteraceae) that is valued for its oils rich in unsaturated fatty acids. Here, we present an ...
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 ...
A high-density genetic map of Arachis duranensis, a diploid ancestor of cultivated peanut
(2012-09-11)
Abstract
Background
Cultivated peanut (Arachis hypogaea) is an allotetraploid species whose ancestral genomes are most likely derived from the A-genome species, A. duranensis, and the B-genome ...
