Seeing the forest with the leaves - clues to canopy placement from leaf fossil size and venation characteristics.

16 Dec 2009 Although a variety of leaf characteristics appear to be induced by light environment during development, analysis of ontogenetic changes in living broad leaved trees has suggested that a number of other traits also lumped into the classic 'sun' ... Read more...

Protein storage vacuoles of Brassica napus zygotic embryos accumulate a BURP domain protein and perturbation of its production distorts the PSV.

30 Oct 2009 BNM2is a prototypical member of the enigmatic BURP domain protein family whose members contain the signature FX6-7GX10-28PX25-31CX11-12X2SX45-56CHX10 CHX25-29CHX2TX15-16PX5CH in the C-terminus. This protein family occurs only in plants, and the ... Read more...

Superior: a novel repetitive DNA element dispersed in the rye genome.

25 Oct 2009 A new class of rye-specific repetitive DNA elements designated Superior has been identified. The rye genome library was constructed by cleavage with EcoO109I, the recognition sites of which consisted of 5'-PuGGNCCPy-3' multi-sequences and were ... Read more...
