Chloroplast DNA phylogeny of hard pines (subgenus Pinus) : inference from site mutations and multiple small (1-10 Kb) inversions

Creator:

Krupkin, Alexander Bennett

Abstract:

Plastid DNA restriction site and rearrangement mutations were used to study phylogenetic relationships among hard pines (subgenus Pinus). Total genomic DNA was cut with 19 restriction enzymes, blotted, and then probed mostly with 80% of the Douglas-Fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii) chioroplast genome (cpDNA) {initial study, using only 6bp recognition enzymes}; or,...

Repeated sequences associated with inversions and length mutations in the chloroplast genomes of Pseudotsuga and Pinus

Creator:

Hipkins, Valerie D.

Abstract:

To help understand the mechanisms of conifer chloroplast genome evolution, we characterized the nucleotide sequences of Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesiz) and Monterey pine (Pinus radiata) chioroplast DNA that are associated with a length mutation hotspot and inversion. The chloroplast DNA ofthese two conifers are characterized by shared large inversions that are...
