The DNA segments that carry this genetic information are called genes, and their location within the genome are referred to as genetic loci, but other DNA sequences have structural purposes, or are involved in regulating the use of this genetic information.
Understanding the molecular biology of plants begins with the elucidation of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA), a fundamental molecule that carries the genetic blueprint for all living organisms. In plants, DNA resides primarily within the cell nucleus, organized into structures called chromosomes.
2 lut 2021 · This review discusses the features of cis-regulatory sequences in plants, technologies enabling their identification, characterization, and validation, their organization into functional cis-regulatory modules, their genomic distributions with respect to target genes, and the role of transposable elements in their evolution.
19 paź 2020 · Plant genomes carry signatures of evolutionary history, whole-genome duplication, population processes, and more, and we are just learning how to read this historical information from appropriate genetic markers.
13 paź 2008 · There are pretty obvious differences between plants and animals, but – at the chemical level – the cells of all plants and all animals contain DNA in the same shape – the famous “double helix”...
13 mar 2015 · Like all living organisms, plants use deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) as their genetic material. The DNA in plant cells is found in the nucleus, the mitochondria and the chloroplasts. The latter two organelles are descendants of bacteria that were captured by a eukaryotic cell and have become endosymbionts. DNA is a coded set of instructions for ...
3 cze 2024 · Here, we present activities to introduce some of the basic concepts of plant DNA and sequencing data to explore the curriculum topics of evolution, inheritance and variation, and bioinformatics. Students extract genetic material and explore the process of assembling genome sequences.
