Journal ArticleDOI
Transposable element contributions to plant gene and genome evolution.
TL;DR: Transposable elements were first discovered in plants because they can have tremendous effects on genome structure and gene function and may be responsible for the rate at which incompatibility is generated in separated populations.
Journal ArticleDOI
Plant Genome Size Estimation by Flow Cytometry: Inter-laboratory Comparison
Jaroslav Doležel,Johann Greilhuber,Sergio Lucretti,Armin Meister,Martin A. Lysak,Luca Nardi,R Obermayer +6 more
TL;DR: The results obtained in this study demonstrate that flow cytometry with DNA intercalators is a reliable method for estimation of nuclear genome size in plants, and confirmed an urgent need for an agreement on standards.
Journal ArticleDOI
The repair of double-strand breaks in plants: mechanisms and consequences for genome evolution
TL;DR: Induction of DSBs could be used as a means for the controlled manipulation of plant genomes in an analogous way for the use of marker gene excision and site-specific integration.

Brachypodium distachyon. A new model system for functional genomics in grasses.
John Draper,Luis A. J. Mur,Glyn Jenkins,Gadab C. Ghosh-Biswas,Pauline Bablak,Robert Hasterok,Andrew P. M. Routledge +6 more
TL;DR: A new model for grass functional genomics is described based on Brachypodium distachyon, which in the evolution of the Pooideae diverged just prior to the clade of "core pooid" genera that contain the majority of important temperate cereals and forage grasses.

Nuclear DNA content of some important plant species
K. Arumuganathan,E. D. Earle +1 more
TL;DR: This survey identified several horticultural crops in a variety of families with genomes only two or three times as large asArabidopsis and several fruit trees (a pricot, cherry, mango, orange, papaya, and peach) that should facilitate molecular studies of these crops.
Journal ArticleDOI
Rapid flow cytometric analysis of the cell cycle in intact plant tissues.
David W. Galbraith,Kristi R. Harkins,Joyce M. Maddox,Nicola M. Ayres,Dharam P. Sharma,Ebrahim Firoozabady +5 more
TL;DR: The amount of nuclear DNA in the homogenates of monocotyledonous and dicotylingonous plants was accurately and rapidly determined by flow microfluorometry, and the distribution of nuclei involved in the cell cycle was charted for tissues selected from different physical locations or developmental stages.
Journal ArticleDOI
Nuclear DNA Amounts in Angiosperms
TL;DR: This paper lists absolute nuclear DNA amounts for 753 angiosperm species, and the dats were assembled primarily for reference purposes, and so the species are listed in alphabetical order, as this was felt to be more helpful to cyto- and biochemists whom, it is anticipated, will be among its major users.
Journal ArticleDOI
Stomatal size in fossil plants: evidence for polyploidy in majority of angiosperms
TL;DR: Estimating the genome size of extinct woody angiosperms with the use of fossil guard cell size as a proxy for cellular DNA content suggested that seven to nine is the primitive haploid chromosome number of angios perms and that most angiosPerms (approximately 70 percent) have polyploidy in their history.
Journal ArticleDOI
A cytometric exercise in plant DNA histograms, with 2C values for 70 species.
Dominique Marie,Spencer Brown +1 more
TL;DR: An extensive graphical guide to interpreting DNA histograms and their problems is given, and cytometry laboratories unfamiliar with plant sciences will find herein a guide, and references, to adapt their methods to plant material.
