PHYLOGENETIC FOOTPRINTING OF NON-CODING RNA: HAMMERHEAD RIBOZYME SEQUENCES IN A SATELLITE DNA FAMILY OF DOLICHOPODA CAVE CRICKETS (ORTHOPTERA, RHAPHIDOPHORIDAE)

Phylogenetic footprinting of non-coding RNA: hammerhead ribozyme sequences in a satellite DNA family of Dolichopoda cave crickets (Orthoptera, Rhaphidophoridae)

Abstract Background The great variety in sequence, length, complexity, and abundance of satellite DNA has made it difficult to ascribe any function to this genome component.Recent studies have shown that satellite DNA can be transcribed and be involved in regulation Thermometers - Glass Thermometers of chromatin structure and gene expression.Some s

Responses to Drought Stress Modulate the Susceptibility to Plasmopara viticola in Vitis vinifera Self-Rooted Cuttings

Climate change will increase the occurrence of plants being simultaneously subjected to drought and pathogen stress.Drought can alter the way in which plants respond to pathogens.This research addresses how grapevine responds to the concurrent challenge of drought stress and Plasmopara viticola, the causal agent of downy mildew, and how one stress
