Evaluation of sensitivity of flow cytometry in detecting aneuploidy in wheat using disomic and ditelosomic wheat-rye addition lines.

Flow cytometry was proven to be sensitive enough to detect the small DNA content deviations that are expected to occur in aneuploid plants of wheat.

Anagenetic evolution in island plants

This work emphasizes the importance of an alternative (anagenetic) model of evolution, whereby a single island endemic evolves from a progenitor and slowly builds up genetic variation through time.

Phylogenetics of Hyacinthaceae based on plastid DNA sequences

Inferences of biogeographical histories within subfamily Hyacinthoideae using S-DIVA and Bayesian binary MCMC analysis implemented in RASP (Reconstruct Ancestral State in Phylogenies).

Biogeographical analyses reveal that subfamily Hyacinthoideae has originated in sub-Saharan Africa, and indicates an early dispersal event to the Mediterranean region followed by a vicariance event, which resulted in Hyacintheae and Massonieae tribes.

Stress as the major signal controlling the developmental fate of tobacco microspores: towards a unified model of induction of microspore/pollen embryogenesis

A unified model of induction of embryogenesis from microspores/pollen which, within a relatively wide developmental window, are competent to deviate from normal gametophytic development and initiate the alternative sporophytic programme, in response to specific stress signals is proposed.

A preliminary phylogeny of the 'didymocarpoid Gesneriaceae' based on three molecular data sets: Incongruence with available tribal classifications.

It is shown that all available classifications in Old World Gesneriaceae are artificial and do not reflect natural relationships, and consistent topological relationships can be retrieved from data sets with missing data using subsamples and different combinations of gene sequences.

Evolution of Dystaenia takesimana (Apiaceae), endemic to Ullung Island, Korea

Dystaenia (Apiaceae) is shown to be monophyletic based on sequences from chloroplast trnL-F intron and spacer regions confirming previously published results using ITS sequences, and hypothesised that after a founder-effect reduction of genetic variation, anagenetic speciation may have occurred in D. takesimana.

The Origin of Species of Acer (Sapindaceae) Endemic to Ullung Island, Korea

A phylogenetic analysis of 57 taxa including 127 accessions of Acer to determine the geographical origin and the presumptive progenitor species of Acer takesimense and A. okamotoanum, two endemics of the Korean island Ullung-do, shows a close relationship of A. takeimense to A. pseudosieboldianum from mainland Korea and a higher degree of shared alleles with at least two mainland populations of their presumptive progensitor A. mono.

Alfalfa cyclins: differential expression during the cell cycle and in plant organs.

In young leaves, expression of both genes is high, whereas in mature leaves no transcripts can be detected, indicating that the two cyclin genes are true cell division markers at the mRNA level, and in other organs, a more complex expression pattern of the two CycMs1 and cycMs2 genes was found.
