EVOLUTIONARY RELATIONSHIPS IN THE GENUS ZEA: ANALYSIS OF REPETITIVE SEQUENCES USED AS CYTOLOGICAL FISH AND GISH MARKERS

Evolutionary relationships in the genus Zea: analysis of repetitive sequences used as cytological FISH and GISH markers

The present study is a revision of our work on evolutionary cytogenetics of the genus Zea, including several new experiments which give a deeper insight into the nature of the DNA sequences involved in telomeric regions of Basketball - Shoes - Junior Zea luxurians.These new experiments, based on the Southern blotting technique and in situ hybridiza

Encouraging consumption reduction: Findings of a qualitative study with clothing companies on sufficiency-promoting communication

Sufficiency aims at reducing resource consumption and thus requires individual behaviour change.Although it seems counterintuitive at first glance, companies can support sufficiency-oriented, cleaner consumption as part of their societal responsibility.This article investigates motives for sufficiency-promoting business communication and explores r

Selection of reference genes for quantitative real-time PCR normalization in the plant pathogen Puccinia helianthi Schw.

Abstract Background Real-time RT-PCR KELP has become a common and robust technique to detect and quantify low-abundance mRNA expression and is a prefered tool when examining fungal gene expression in infected host tissues.However, correct evaluation of gene expression data requires accurate and reliable normalization against a reference transcript.
