The genome size and organization of the important medicinal plant Catharanthus roseus is shown to correspond to 1C = 0.76 pg (~738 Mbps) and 2n=16 chromosomes. The data in this recently published paper provide a sound basis for future studies including cytogenetic mapping, genomics and breeding.
The European Cytogenetics Conference, this year #ECA2015 in Strasbourg, is a terrific meeting to hear the latest on chromosome research, with a strong focus on human research but lots that is important for plant and...
The way that we can address questions in genome evolution and expression has changed enormously in the last five years. We can get huge amounts of DNA sequence for any species for a budget within that of most labs. As...
A genetic linkage map of Catharanthus Catharanthus roseus (Madagascar periwinkle) is widely known for its pharmacologically important alkaloids, as well as being a popular ornamental plant. Shokeen et al. use SSR and...
