Methods for assembling complex mitochondrial genomes in land plants.

The large size and complex structural rearrangements inherent in the mitochondrial genomes of land plants pose challenges for their sequencing. Originally, the assembly of these genomes required the cloning of mitochondrial DNA fragments followed by Sanger sequencing. Subsequently, the advent of next-generation sequencing significantly expedited the process.

The gene of triggers precocious flowering in Arabidopsis seedlings.

The ( gene is the essential integrator of flowering regulatory pathways in angiosperms. The paralogs of the gene may perform antagonistic functions, as exemplified by , that suppresses flowering in , unlike the paralogous activator . The roles of genes in other amaranths were less investigated.

The transcriptomic (RNA-Sequencing) datasets collected in the course of floral induction in 459.

The transition from vegetative growth to reproduction is the essential commitment in plant life. It is triggered by environmental cues (day length, temperature, nutrients) and regulated by the very complex signaling gene network and by phytohormones. The control of flowering is well understood in and in some crops, much less is known about the other angiosperms.

The high concentrations of abscisic, jasmonic, and salicylic acids produced under long days do not accelerate flowering in Chenopodium ficifolium 459.

The survival and adaptation of angiosperms depends on the proper timing of flowering. The weedy species Chenopodium ficifolium serves as a useful diploid model for comparing the transition to flowering with the important tetraploid crop Chenopodium quinoa due to the close phylogenetic relationship. The detailed transcriptomic and hormonomic study of the floral induction was performed in the short-day accession C.

Transcriptomic study of the night break in Chenopodium rubrum reveals possible upstream regulators of the floral activator CrFTL1.

The transition from vegetative to reproductive phases is the most fundamental and tightly controlled switch in the life of flowering plants. The short-day plant Chenopodium rubrum is a fast cycling annual plant lacking a juvenile phase. It can be induced to flowering at the seedling stage by exposure to a single period of darkness.
