Identification of Carboniferous (320 million years old) class Ic amber.

30 Sep 2009 The presence of amber, the fossil form of the resins produced by many types of higher plants, has been reported from many localities in Mesozoic and Cenozoic rocks. We have found Class I (polylabdanoid) amber in Carboniferous sediments dating to ... Read more...

Comparative SNP diversity among four Eucalyptus species for genes from secondary metabolite biosynthetic pathways.

22 Sep 2009 BACKGROUND: There is little information about the DNA sequence variation within and between closely related plant species. The combination of re-sequencing technologies, large-scale DNA pools and availability of reference gene sequences allowed the ... Read more...

[2-(14)C-Methylerythritol 2,4-cyclodiphosphate incorporation into bacterial and plant isoprenoids]

30 Aug 2009 To work out a test system for studying the inhibition of isoprenoid biosynthesis through non-mevalonate pathway, the conversion of 2-(14)C-methylerythritol 2,4-cyclodiphosphate (14C-MEC) into isoprenoids of three bacteria species and into plastids ... Read more...
