    A physical map of Brassica oleracea shows complexity of chromosomal changes following recursive paleopolyploidizations

    Evolution of the Brassica species has been recursively affected by polyploidy events, and comparison to their relative, Arabidopsis thaliana, provides means to explore their genomic complexity.

    Pscroph, a parasitic plant EST database enriched for parasite associated transcripts

    Parasitic plants in the Orobanchaceae develop invasive root haustoria upon contact with host roots or root factors. The development of haustoria can be visually monitored and is rapid, highly synchronous, and ...
