The dove tree, Davidia involucrata Baill. (Davidiaceae), is a relict species endemic to China. Human activities and the strict requirements for seedling recruitments have led to the decline in number of individuals in extant natural... more
Cyrtomium falcatum is a popular ornamental fern cultivated worldwide. Native to the Korean Peninsula, Japan, and Dokdo Island in the Sea of Japan, it is the only fern present on Dokdo Island. We isolated and characterized the chloroplast... more
Colobanthus apetalus is a member of the genus Colobanthus, one of the 86 genera of the large family Caryophyllaceae which groups annual and perennial herbs (rarely shrubs) that are widely distributed around the globe, mainly in the... more
Pentatricopeptide repeat (PPR) proteins are a large family of modular RNA-binding proteins which mediate several aspects of gene expression primarily in organelles but also in the nucleus. These proteins facilitate processing, splicing,... more
Restriction enzyme analysis was used to determine the inheritance of chloroplast DNA in conifers. The plant material studied included five individual trees of European larch (Larix decidua Mill.) and Japanese larch (Larix leptolepis Sieb.... more
The induction of genes encoded in the open reading frames (ORFs) of chloroplast genomes have been posited to be influenced by ambient light condition. The current study focused on determining which of the six ORFs, encoding the genes ycf... more
Old growth and second growth populations of coast redwood (Sequoia sempervirens) were sampled at 10 locations throughout its range and analyzed at a highly variable chloroplast microsatellite locus. Very low FST values indicated that... more
Restriction fragment analysis and heterologous hybridization of chloroplast (cp) DNA was used to develop species-specific markers for P. tabulae-form&, P. yunnanensb and P. massoniana. Fragment patterns created by the BclI and DraI... more
The psbA gene, encoding the DI protein of photosystem II, was found to be duplicated in the chloroplast genome of two pine species, Pinus contorta and P. banksiana. Analysis of cloned overlapping restriction fragments of P. contorta... more
