Isolation and characterization of tumorigenic bacteria associated with crown gall disease of Prunus humilis Bunge in China
Prunus humilis Bunge (Cerasus humilis (Bunge) S. ya. Sokolov) (Rosaceae) is a small shrub native to China, highly valued for environmental protection and as a functional food. However, with the increasing scale o...

Microbial methane production is affected by secondary metabolites in the heartwood of living trees in upland forests
This paper shows that CH4 produced in the heartwood of living trees in upland forests is of microbial origin, and that microbial CH4 production may be suppressed in the heartwood with more phenolic compounds than...

Recovery and characterization of homozygous lines from two sweet orange cultivars via anther culture
Homozygous genotypes are valuable for breeding and genomic studies in higher plants. The production of haploids and DHs through gametic embryogenesis allows a single-step development of complete homozygous lin...

Molecular cloning and functional characterization of genes associated with flowering in citrus using an early-flowering trifoliate orange (Poncirus trifoliata L. Raf.) mutant
To isolate differentially expressed genes during the juvenile-to-adult phase transition of an early-flowering trifoliate orange mutant (precocious trifoliate orange, Poncirus trifoliata), suppression subtractive ...

Formation of unreduced gametes is impeded by homologous chromosome pairing in tetraploid Triticum turgidum × Aegilops tauschii hybrids
It is believed that unreduced gametes with somatic chromosome numbers play a predominant role in natural polyploidization. Allohexaploid bread wheat originated from spontaneous hybridization of Triticum turgidum ...

PtSVP, an SVP homolog from trifoliate orange (Poncirus trifoliata L. Raf.), shows seasonal periodicity of meristem determination and affects flower development in transgenic Arabidopsis and tobacco plants
A MADS-box gene was isolated using the suppressive subtractive hybridization library between early-flowering mutant and wild-type trifoliate orange (Poncirus trifoliata L. Raf.). This gene is highly homologous wi...

Evidences for the control of chromosome number variation by a programmed-cell-death-like pathway in citrus callus
Chromosome number variations were found in citrus callus induced from diploid genotypes. Further cytological examination of single-protoplast-derived cell lines showed that these chromosome number variations a...
