Eight microsatellite markers for the bulbous buttercup Ranunculus bulbosus (Ranunculaceae)

28/09/2012 00:00

Matter P, Pluess AR, Ghazoul J, Kettle CJ. Résumé: Pollen dispersal is a key biological process enabling plant populations to maintain genetic connectivity. Direct estimates of pollen dispersal using paternity assignment or correlated paternity estimates require highly variable genetic...

Evaluating contemporary pollen dispersal in two common grassland species Ranunculus bulbosus L. (Ranunculaceae) and Trifolium montanum L. (Fabaceae) using an experimental approach

28/09/2012 00:00

P. Matter, C. J. Kettle, J. Ghazoul, T. Hahn and A. R. Pluess Résumé: Pollen flow is a key biological process that connects plant populations, preventing genetic impoverishment and inbreeding. Pollen-mediated long-distance dispersal (LDD) events are especially important for plant species in...

What the genomics of arbuscular mycorrhizal symbiosis teaches us about root development

25/09/2012 00:00

Damien Formey, Cyril Jourda, Christophe Roux, Pierre‐Marc Delaux Résumé: This chapter covers the genetics and genomics aspects of arbuscular mycorrhiza (AM)-plant symbiosis. Forward and reverse genetics studies, and transcriptomic and metabolic analyses of AM-legume symbiosis and root...

Comparative expression of cell wall related genes in four maize RILs and one parental line of variable lignin content and cell wall degradability

10/09/2012 00:00

Audrey Courtial, Cyril Jourda, Sandrine Arribat, Stéphanie Huguet, Matthieu Reymond, Jacqueline Grima-Pettenati, Yves Barrière Résumé: A comparison of gene expression in maize between the parental line F271 and four RILs derived from the cross F288 x F271 was investigated based on...

CML9, a multifunctional Arabidopsis thaliana calmodulin-like protein involved in stress responses and plant growth?

01/09/2012 00:00

Louis-Jérôme Leba, Alexandre Perochon, Cécilia Cheval, Benoit Ranty, Jean-Philippe Galaud and Didier Aldon Résumé: Plants have evolved complex signaling networks to respond to their fluctuating environment and adapt their growth and development. Calcium-dependent signaling pathways play key...

Consensus mapping of major resistance genes and independent QTL for quantitative resistance to sunflower downy mildew

01/09/2012 00:00

Vincourt P, As-Sadi F, Bordat A, Langlade NB, Gouzy J, Pouilly N, Lippi Y, Serre F, Godiard L, Tourvieille de Labrouhe D and Vear F. Résumé: Major gene resistance to sunflower downy mildew (Plasmopara halstedii) races 304 and 314 was found to segregate independently from the resistance to...

14-3-3-regulated Ca(2+)-dependent protein kinase CPK3 is required for sphingolipid-induced cell death in Arabidopsis

31/08/2012 00:00

C Lachaud, E Prigent, P Thuleau, S Grat, D Da Silva, C Brière, C Mazars and V Cotelle Résumé: In eukaryotic cells, sphingoid long chain bases (LCBs) such as sphingosine or phytosphingosine (PHS) behave as second messengers involved in various processes including programmed cell death (PCD)....

Patterns of genetic variation across altitude in three plant species of semi-dry grasslands

01/08/2012 00:00

Hahn T, Kettle CJ, Ghazoul J, Frei ER, Matter P, Pluess AR. Résumé: Environmental gradients caused by altitudinal gradients may affect genetic variation within and among plant populations and inbreeding within populations. Populations in the upper range periphery of a species may be...
