GENOME-WIDE SURVEY OF FLAVONOID BIOSYNTHESIS GENES AND GENE EXPRESSION ANALYSIS BETWEEN BLACK- AND YELLOW-SEEDED BRASSICA NAPUS

Genome-wide survey of flavonoid biosynthesis genes and gene expression analysis between black- and yellow-seeded Brassica napus

Flavonoids, the compounds that impart color to fruits, flowers, and seeds, are the most widespread secondary metabolites in plants.However, a systematic analysis of these loci has not been performed in Brassicaceae.In this study, we isolated 649 nucleotide sequences related to flavonoid biosynthesis, i.e., the Transparent Testa (TT) genes, and thei

The evolutionarily diverged single-stranded DNA-binding proteins SSB1/SSB2 differentially affect the replication, recombination and mutation of organellar genomes in Arabidopsis thaliana

Single-stranded DNA-binding proteins (SSBs) play essential roles in the replication, recombination and repair processes of organellar DNA molecules.In Arabidopsis thaliana, SSBs are encoded by a small family of two genes (SSB1 and SSB2).However, the functional divergence of these two SSB copies in plants remains largely unknown, and detailed studie

Defining and Regulating Peri-Urban Areas through a Landscape Planning Approach: The Case Study of Turin Metropolitan Area (Italy)

Peri-urbanization is a global phenomenon strongly linked to socio-demographic and settlement dynamics.Although peri-urbanization is a topic widely debated in academic literature, especially in the field of urban and regional planning, there is no universal definition, Backpacks and different types and interpretations of peri-urban areas can be foun
