Plant genetics is similar in many ways to animal genetics but differs in a few key areas. The discoverer of genetics was Gregor Mendel, a late 19th-century scientist and Augustinian friar. Mendel studied "trait inheritance", patterns in the way traits are handed down from parents to offspring.
24 sty 2019 · A new gene expression atlas has now mapped the ‘noisy genes’ responsible for phenotypic variation ― differences in physical characteristics ― that often exists between genetically identical plants, even in the same environment.
2 lut 2021 · More than 450 million years of land plant evolution has led to the acquisition of diverse and often overlapping sets of defense responses that limit pathogen infection. Decades of research has uncovered canonical immune pathways that provide resistance to specialist (hemi)-biotrophic pathogens ...
19 paź 2020 · Here, we describe how plant genomes have been harnessed for studies of plant phylogeny and diversification, with examples spanning all green plants, a clade of nearly half a million species spanning nearly a billion years of evolutionary time.
20 lip 2020 · Here we review the growth of pan-genomics in plants, explore the origins of gene presence and absence variation, and show how pan-genomes can support plant breeding and evolution studies.
A molecular or DNA marker is the difference in DNA nucleotide sequence—between individual organisms or species—that is in proximity or tightly linked to a target gene that expresses a trait.
20 lut 2024 · Plant genome sequences catalogue genes and the genetic elements that regulate their expression. Such inventories further research aims as diverse as mapping the molecular basis of trait diversity...
